Navigating the Current Landscape for Successful Dermatology Trials

Although many trials hit “pause” when the pandemic disrupted everyday life, the clinical research industry pivoted quickly and definitively, moving as many trials as possible back on track, while streamlining the process and maintaining (or even improving) patient and data integrity. At Synteract, we were able to transition swiftly and keep studies progressing, getting creative with troubleshooting options and closing studies without significant impact in timelines.

If your dermatology trial encountered challenges since the pandemic struck – or if you are wondering how to resume or start new trials – join this webinar presented by Synteract Dermatology team experts Betsey Zbyszynski the senior director of strategic development in dermatology, Nancy Fitzgerald the biostatistics director, and Craig Dorer-Abadia, the director of dermatology project management.

Together, they will address the current dermatology landscape, the impact of COVID-19 on trials and the “new norm,” and examine how some sponsors are responding. Our speakers will share insights on how Synteract has been able to realign and adapt quickly and with minimal disruption – offering case studies and site status updates, including how the company was able to achieve eight database locks in the last four months.
