7:45 am BREAKFAST PRESENTATION:What sites really need to deliver successful patient engagement strategies

Speaker to be Announced, PAREXEL International

Leslie Ives, Senior Director, Patient Recruitment, Patient Strategy and Insights, Parexel Intl

Jimmy Betchel, Vice President, Site Engagement, Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS)

Sites have shared that delivering successful patient recruitment is arguably one of the most persistent challenges they face. Despite this being well-known, not enough of the right support is provided to them, causing more than half of sites to pay out of pocket for unreimbursed recruitment expenses, all while the one-size-fits-all recruitment materials provided to them collect dust. By rethinking how we support sites in their patient engagement activities, sponsors and CROs can shift the paradigm to make patient enrollment delays and declining retention rates outliers, instead of the norm. This breakfast session will discuss strategies to transform patient engagement by leveraging site experience, incorporating patient insights and motivations, as well as AI solutions, to improve patient retention and deliver better study outcomes.

MAXIMIZING THE VALUE OF CENTRAL MONITORING
中央モニタリングの価値を最大化

8:20 amChairperson's Remarks (Sponsorship Opportunity Available)

8:25 am

 Protecting Data Quality: Implementing and Demonstrating the Value of Centralized Monitoring

Jennifer Krohn, MS, Associate Director, RBQM, Clinical Operations, Gilead Sciences. Inc.

Centralized monitoring (CM) is widely accepted as an integral component of robust clinical-trial monitoring strategy due to its ability to identify data-quality risk that traditional monitoring does not have the vantage point to detect. However, there are challenges in implementing and demonstrating its value. This talk will review PHUSE's investigation into these topics and seeks to inspire additional industry collaboration in further developing open-source CM capabilities.

8:55 am

A Unique Transition from Outsourced Centralized Monitoring to an in-House Process in a Very Short Timeframe

Anne Smith, Director, Central Monitoring, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

This talk will highlight our team's transition from outsourced centralized monitoring to an in-house model within a shortened timeframe. We used a unique approach, working with internal and external stakeholders to implement the new model. This presentation will go through the challenges and lessons learned, and provide a blueprint upon which to model similar efforts.

9:25 am

How RBQM Builds Trust between Sponsors and CROs

Duncan Hall, CEO, Executive, Triumph Research Intelligence Ltd.

Duncan explores the big communication and trust challenges we see from hundreds of projects, and presents a simple model based on Risk-Based Quality Management to overcome those trust issues. He looks at what the ultimate customers (regulatory authorities) want to see, including the implications of ICH E6(R3). He also shows how having the right technology makes all the difference.

The Many Faces of Clinical Data Integrity

Lukasz Bojarski, Executive Director, Centralized Monitoring & Risk Based Quality Management, AstraZeneca

The ICH E6 (R3) draft requires data monitoring to extend across multiple data integrity aspects which span from patient eligibility to unexpected lack of variability and potential data manipulations. From a centralized monitoring perspective, such a broad scope requires not only a variety of data analysis techniques, but also different approaches to handling insights generated from the data. In this session, I am going to discuss how a “one size does not fit all” principle applies to signal detection methods and findings management.

10:40 am PANEL DISCUSSION:

Challenges and Strategies for Managing Central Monitoring Action Fatigue

PANEL MODERATOR:

Olivia Feiro, Director, Clinical Risk and Document Management, CSL Behring

Not every risk can be mitigated with a direct action and confirmed as resolved in the subsequent review cycle.

Achieving Flexibility and Expanding Access While Preserving Data Quality

PANEL MODERATOR:

Lindsay Kehoe, Project Manager, Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative

Is trial flexibility truly a threat to data quality? Concerns are often raised that offering flexible approaches to clinical trial design and conduct, such as collecting data in various settings and offering a flexible schedule of visits, will result in risks to data quality. This session will explore multi-partner perceptions around when and how data quality is maintained when flexible approaches are introduced and how flexibility can improve access to clinical trials.
