Mastering an Outsourcing Strategy
Relationship and Alliance Management in Outsourced Clinical Trials

 

製薬企業やバイオテクノロジー企業の治験依頼者がアウトソーシング戦略に取り組む方法は、業界がビジネス目標、技術の進歩、患者のニーズに対応するにつれて、変化し続けています。アウトソーシングモデル、新しいテクノロジーやニーズの探求、CROやサードパーティプロバイダーとの関係は、効率性と適応性を視野に入れて再検討されています。SCOPEによる第9回年次「アウトソーシング戦略のマスター」会議では、アジャイルなアウトソーシングモデル、テクノロジーベンダーとの連携、多様性と包括性におけるアウトソーシングのニュアンスについて探ります。SCOPEによる第11回年次「臨床試験アウトソーシングにおける関係と提携管理」会議では、破綻した関係の好転、買収における課題の克服、アウトソーシングパートナーとの業務上の課題への取り組みに対する戦略を取り上げます。

Mark McClellan, MD, PhD, Director, Duke-Margolis Institute for Health Policy; Former Commissioner, FDA

On this stage in 2024, we spoke about our mission to converge clinical research and clinical care for the benefit of patients worldwide. We envision a world in which patients participate in research at the point of care as seamlessly as possible. And although we’ve set our vision, and organized the work we are undertaking accordingly, the real fruits of those efforts will not be seen in the short term. We will use this session to talk about where we hope we will be by 2035. What might we reasonably achieve? What does success look like? And what will it take to get there? This session is designed to help us all to raise our gaze beyond the near-term and find inspiration in the future possibilities.

What Do Real Patients Actually Talk About? 

PANEL MODERATOR:

T. Hephner, CRO, Inspire

Whether at an industry event, a focus group, or another venue, we’ve all heard “real” patients share stories of their conditions, treatment journeys, and lives. But how accurate is what you’ve heard? Are the patients who speak on the podium or in a focus group truly representative of the majority of patients, or do they represent just a small sample? Our panel of patient engagement experts from some of the country’s leading patient advocacy groups and other representative organizations will give the story of what it’s like for most patients to live with illness, including rare and chronic diseases. Join us and learn about the true challenges of disease burden, unmet needs, treatment progression, the challenges-and rewards-of clinical trials, and more.

Exquisite Clinical Trial Delivery in an Ever-Changing World-Evolution and Opportunity for Sustained Performance

Andrew Lee, Senior Vice President & Head, Global Clinical Trial Operations, Merck & Co.

This talk focuses broadly on Merck's strategy to discover, develop, and bring innovative medicines to market by pursuing promising science, prioritizing key opportunities, and adapting to a changing landscape. More specifically, how has Merck decided to optimize clinical trial operations, and the relationships between product development teams, clinical sub-teams, and clinical trial teams? What are key considerations for clinical trial planning, site selection, and protocol design? And, what and why did Merck keep many core capabilities “in-house”?

SCOPE’s Gameshow Host: Brett Kleger, a man whose dream it was to be a wedding singer or gameshow host

In today’s episode of “The Clinical Trial Dating Game” we have our pharma industry bachelor looking for a volunteer for his trial. He must question and choose from among three patients, who are hidden from view. He has access to all of their data, but there is more to this person than data, so how will he know which questions to ask? How will he avoid bias? How will he recruit on time? Knowing how important patient centricity is to the clinical research industry and with so much on the line, will our bachelor land a date? What could go wrong?

9:20 am KEYNOTE PANEL DISCUSSION:

How Patients Can-and Must-Disrupt Traditional Pharma Clinical Trials

PANEL MODERATOR:

Craig Lipset, Founder, Advisor, Clinical Innovation Partners; Co-Chair, Decentralized Trials & Research Alliance (DTRA)

Should biopharma companies be the only "sponsors" for clinical trials of new medicines? Does the current model limit opportunities for unmet needs in small populations or leveraging repurposed drugs? This panel will gather leaders demonstrating ways that patient-led non-profit organizations are challenging assumptions and taking a leadership position in medicine development. No longer can we think of patients as guests at pharma's table-is the next transformation in medicine development going to be entirely patient-led?
