The Evolution of Clinical Trial Partnerships – Initiative to Forge Innovative Collaborations Across the Entire Health Care Chain
PPD’s Karen Kaucic, M.D., vice president and global head of PPD® Consulting, will present on this keynote panel examining how industry partnerships are evolving after seismic shifts in roles, responsibilities and expectations. Biopharmaceutical companies today face organizational changes, while contract research organizations build capacity and take on increased responsibilities. Reimbursement issues from the payer perspective are adding complexity to this dynamic environment. Panelists will discuss enhancing the value proposition to payers, understanding the regulatory landscape, emerging market strategies and using novel technology to forge strategic alliances among key health care stakeholders.
Wednesday, April 24, 1:15 p.m. EDT
Meeting Sponsors’ Operational & Scientific Needs through Real-Time Data
Featuring leaders from GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK) and PPD, this panel focuses on opportunities with the industry’s increasing use of real-time data. Today, biopharmaceutical companies differ in their approaches to operational and scientific oversight. PPD’s Niklas Morton, vice president, global biostatistics, programming and medical writing, and Shawntel Swannack, manager, data sciences, GSK, will outline various client approaches to project oversight. They will detail approaches to data analysis and visualizations required to support those approaches and address needs and opportunities in standardizing the acquisition, aggregation, analysis and visualization of data in real-time.
The Partnerships in Clinical Trials conference provides a forum for clinical operations and outsourcing leaders to discuss important issues concerning clinical trials, including focus areas such as emerging markets, e-clinical technologies and quality oversight.
