The Scientific Leadership Model: An Innovative Approach to Clinical Trial Leadership, Design and Delivery

The delivery of a clinical trial to the highest scientific standards can be challenging in today’s complex, high-cost, high-risk clinical trials environment. The Scientific Leadership Model may be the answer.

Following the recent publication of the results of one of the largest obstructive sleep apnea medical device trials (SAVE) ever undertaken, Professor Craig Anderson, will discuss the emergence of scientific leadership as an innovative service addition to a clinical trials design and delivery. Professor Craig Anderson has conducted some of the largest global neurology and blood pressure trials ever undertaken. He is widely considered a world authority on stroke and much of his success has revolved around conducting clinical trials in Asia.

In this webinar, Professor Anderson will discuss the recent success of the SAVE trial, which recruited over 2700 patients globally, with over 63% of those participants coming from China. Professor Anderson will outline many of the opportunities that exist when conducting clinical trials, such as the SAVE trial, in Asia and debunk a lot of the misconceptions that exist for sponsors who have operated in the traditional clinical trial markets of the USA and Europe.

Professor Anderson will:

• Define the Scientific Leadership Model
• Outline how the Scientific Model is implemented in a trial design and through trial delivery.
• Address the benefits and the hurdles of conducting large clinical trials in Asia.
