Clinical trials are the backbone of medical advancements, yet they often face significant hurdles in their final stages. The “last mile” of clinical trials refers to the crucial phase where the connection between researchers, clinical sites and participants must be seamless to ensure the success of the study.

This webinar will delve into the complexities of this phase, highlighting the common obstacles and presenting effective strategies to overcome them. By attending this webinar, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the last mile in clinical trials and learn how to implement effective solutions to bridge the gap between researchers, sites and participants. This knowledge will empower attendees to conduct more efficient, compliant and participant-friendly trials, ultimately contributing to the advancement of medical research.

The expert speaker will focus on the following key topics in this webinar:

  • Participant Recruitment and Retention: Strategies to improve enrollment and maintain participant engagement throughout the trial
  • Data-Driven Strategies: Strengths and limitations of using data to optimize clinical trial recruitment
  • Regulatory Compliance: Best practices for navigating the regulatory landscape to maintain trial integrity
  • Patient-Centric Approaches: Strategies that prioritize the participant’s experience to improve trial outcomes

Do not miss this opportunity to stay ahead in the ever-evolving field of clinical research. Take the first step towards mastering the final frontier of clinical trials.

Register for this webinar to transform challenges into opportunities and optimize the crucial final stages of clinical trials.

For the past 25 years, Dr. Karp has studied the human immune system in health and disease. This has involved research on the genes, proteins, and cells that control immunity to harmful pathogens, as well as lead to disease states like systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerosis. His most recent studies have focused on the concept of pre-clinical immunity—the transition from people from a healthy state to having an activated immune system without symptoms to having genuine symptoms of autoimmune disease. Understanding this transition may lead to better diagnostic tools and the ability to treat autoimmune diseases at an earlier time or even prevent them.

Dr. Karp directs laboratory and clinical research on rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. He is the Chief of the Rheumatic Disease Division within the Department of Internal Medicine. Dr. Karp has been included in D Magazine‘s Best Doctors list several times and named a Texas Monthly Super Doctor.
