Panel: Decentralizing Clinical Trials

Yihenew AbetuJordyne BlaiseErica Courtenay-MannAlicia Staley

Clinical trials have largely been run out of academic medical centers, which provide a location for most patient visits, consultations, and interventions. The COVID-19 pandemic challenged the status quo of large site-based clinical trials, providing an opportunity for the use of telemedicine, remote monitoring, and reporting to allow trials to “meet patients where they are”. What can be expected from decentralized trials in the future? What are some of the best practices to emerge and how will the industry adopt, adapt, and innovate regarding how to recruit and communicate with patients during clinical development?

Panel: The Future of Patient Centricity

Eric GaschoSarah KrügLuke RosenGrant Cale

Patients are the core of the bioscience industry – success is measured in improved patient outcomes. Bioscience companies spend decades to research and develop new therapies, diligently pursue new technologies and platforms that have the potential to improve human health, but historically patients were on the sidelines of this process. This has, thankfully, started to change, with bioscience companies becoming more “patient centric” and inclusive, taking feedback from patients and caregivers, and making decisions based on patients’ needs and perspectives. Now that patients have a proverbial seat at the table, what’s next? This panel will discuss best practices, as well as still-untapped opportunities for patient voices.

Panel: Patients and Policy: Moving the Needle

Maya BerminghamDr. Gary PuckreinJen RomanChristopher Cox

Policymakers consider several different angles when crafting legislation that often has a broad impact on patients, our healthcare system, and the companies in the life science industry. While there are several factors that contribute to the value of a particular therapy or intervention, a patient’s lived experience can make a lasting impact on an elected official or policy maker. The panel will discuss potential ways to impact change and move the needle on key policy issues facing the bioscience industry over the coming decade.

Panel: The Importance of Biomarkers

Michael DavoliDr. Wojciech SwatTiffany Westrich-RobertsonDr. Carl Morrison

As our industry pushes farther along the spectrum of precision medicine – with the goal of delivering the right drug to the right patient at the right time - biomarkers will play an increasingly important role in driving better outcomes for patients. This panel will look at how biomarkers are impacting the future of clinical and commercial development for new therapeutics and how they are changing the landscape of how to think about new therapies.
