Life Sciences, Clinical Trials, Drug Discovery & Development,
  • Thursday, August 20, 2020

Companies exploring the use of hybrid or decentralized trials during this new era of drug development are encouraged to join this webinar for an interactive panel session featuring leaders from across the industry to learn from their direct experience.

During this live stream event, panelists will explore ways in which hybrid and decentralized trials have altered traditional clinical pathways and the new landscape that sponsors, sites and patients must navigate as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The panelists will also highlight the challenges and opportunities with transitioning to a hybrid or decentralized trial strategy and what they would recommend for those planning to do the same. Topics will include, but are not limited to data integrity, key stakeholders, trial design, operational considerations, essential infrastructure and insights into both the role and value these types of trials will have in the future.

Register today for this informative panel discussion to increase understanding of hybrid and decentralized trials as well as their impact to clinical research. When registering, please submit any questions or topics for the panel to discuss.
