Medical device companies are faced with countless legal and regulatory obligations that require them to disclose their plans for the future. Whether they’re sharing details regarding inventions they seek to patent, clinical trials to demonstrate the value of new devices, investor presentations for public companies, or regulatory filings to gain approval before launch, all of this information can provide invaluable insights into your competitors and customers plans for the future. In this session we will explore:

• Types of information publicly available regarding future development of medical devices
• Systematic approaches to use these resources to identify opportunities and anticipate competitive threats
• Case studies on the use of patent filings, clinical trial registries, and other resources

• Balancing cost alongside other considerations when selecting vendors
• Choosing large vs small vendors: advantages and disadvantages
• Working with international partners: additional challenges and how to overcome them

• Mapping out trial budgets to ensure financial feasibility throughout your study
• Securing VC funding through communication and forecasting budgets
• Strategies to avoid overspending by tracking finances during trials

• Utilizing trial budgets to increase efficiency between CROs and Sponsors
• Establishing trial expectations by conveying budget outlines effectively
• Ensuring your trial stays within budget throughout the full timeline

The master protocol approach is transforming the landscape of drug development by allowing multiple treatments to be evaluated across different disease states or patient populations within a single trial structure. An approach like this can offer significant advantages, including increased efficiencies, faster decision-making and improved coordination but poses challenges to operationalization without the proper planning and support. ​In this session, explore the key aspects of master protocols, it’s benefits and challenges, and provide practical insights into implementation and operationalization.

Whether you are a researcher, clinician, or part of the pharma industry, this session will equip you with the knowledge to leverage master protocols effectively in your clinical research. ​

Key Takeaways: ​

• Understand the benefits, optimal use cases and best scenarios for master protocols. ​
• Maximize trial operations with improved coordination and more sub-study opportunities. ​
• Enhance data collection and sharing, broadening patient access to new therapies. ​
• Navigate strategic relationships for safe and successful master protocol research.

• Identifying and creating criteria that addresses exactly what your study needs to make the selection process easier
• Strengthening relationships with CROs by communicating effectively throughout your study
• Understanding and assessing CROs capabilities tailored to your specific trial needs to avoid running into roadblocks
