Track 2: Clinical Trials and Clinical Operations

This comprehensive track covers the latest advances in clinical research and operations. Sessions cover innovative design strategies, establishing efficiencies in operations, and effective integration of patient outcomes in clinical trial design.

This track covers clinical research development and operations. Sessions explore:

  • Current and innovative methods to evaluate technology advances and systems to support clinical research programs, cross-functional management integration, clinical utility, and endpoint development with the use of mobile/digital technology
  • Optimizing clinical trial enrollment and reviewing technological advances in clinical research operations
  • Optimal clinical operations management structures in small, medium, and large companies
  • Program challenges and solutions in global clinical and multi-regional clinical trials
  • Advances in Sponsor and CRO collaborations; vendor oversight; and the evolving value of real-world data

DIA recommends this track and associated sessions to professionals involved in clinical operations, clinical research, safety and pharmacovigilance, project management, patient centricity, and statistics. Also, potentially: medical affairs, regulatory affairs, vendor management/alliance management, data management, and quality assurance.
