What Do Real Patients Actually Talk About?
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.

Data, Data Everywhere, and Not a Byte to Use
Robert DiCicco, Vice President, Portfolio Management, TransCelerate BioPharma, Inc.
The 21st Century Cures Act created opportunities to leverage electronic health data to improve clinical outcomes and support regulatory decision-making. Despite its passage over seven years ago, that promise has gone largely unfulfilled. In the pharma R&D environment, there has been limited ability to unlock the potential of that data in a scalable way. The good news? Recent advances in technology, along with cross-sector collaborations, present renewed opportunity to take another leap forward in accelerating clinical research.
Su Chen, MD, Clinical Science Principal, MITRE; Steering Committee Chair, CodeX HL7 FHIR Accelerator
Kavita Lamror, Partner, RWE & Digital Transformation, Maxis Clinical Sciences
Geriatric patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and late-stage diabetes mellitus complications represent a highly complex and vulnerable population. Co-morbidities, co-medications, age-specific frailty, and the interplay between cancer progression and diabetic complications make optimizing treatment outcomes very challenging. Chemotherapy exacerbates these complications, increasing risks of adverse events, and impacting quality of life. Causal graphs, rooted in graph theory and causal inference principles, provide a framework to address these complexities by uncovering causal relationships in real-world data (RWD), enabling personalized treatment strategies. This framework allowed MaxisIT to disentangle the intricate interplay between NSCLC, diabetes complications, and chemotherapy outcomes, accounting for confounding factors like age, comorbidities, and baseline health status, to personalize treatment for better patient outcomes and clinical decision-making.
Becky Thompson, Senior Director, Solutions Consulting - Real World Research, Real World Evidence & Market Access Solutions, Parexel
Traditional approaches to post-trial access often lead to inefficiencies and missed opportunities for data collection. In this session, we explore how to develop a post-trial access platform that not only ensures continued patient access to treatment but also facilitates long-term data collection and potential registry creation. We'll examine the benefits for patients, sites, and sponsors, and explore how this model can be leveraged for real-world evidence generation and long-term safety monitoring, using practical examples and insights from lessons learned.

BREAKFAST PRESENTATION
朝食プレゼンテーション
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.

Protocols often live in documents, requiring sponsors to manually configure data across many systems, and leading to inaccuracies and extended timelines. Global standards groups are calling for protocols to be digitized, but how will sponsors adjust to new digital formats? In this talk, we’ll share published research on the use of AI/LLM agents to digitize protocols and how this approach can drive more efficient research for sponsors and sites.
Transforming the Clinical Trial Protocol-Moving from a Document-Centric to a Data-Centric World
Chris Decker, President & CEO, CDISC
Since the beginning, the industry has been writing and copying protocols in Word while manually transcribing protocol information to the plethora of downstream systems, which is time-consuming, error-prone, and questions quality. Over the last few years, the industry has been working on moving from a document-centric to a data-centric protocol, helping industry reduce cycle times and improve data reliability and quality for sponsors, third party providers, and regulators. This panel will bring together TransCelerate, CDISC, HL7, and ICH M11 to discuss the current state of the digital protocol and the opportunities to transform the clinical trial lifecycle.
