On World Clinical Trials Day, we celebrate the importance of clinical research in advancing healthcare and improving lives. Today, I would like to ask you to take a moment to appreciate the dedication of researchers, healthcare professionals, and patients who participate in clinical trials to bring new treatments and therapies to those in need. From my side, I would like to recognize the efforts of Roche Bulgaria's clinical trials team for their commitment to advancing medical knowledge and improving Bulgarian patient outcomes. Desimir Njagolov Dr. Dima Dzhenkova Milena Ruseva Iskren Minchev Tatyana Brankova Sofiya Grigorova, MPharm Aleksander Kavazov #ClinicalTrialsDay

Join us this fall in Barcelona for SCOPE Europe’s Trial Design and Protocol Development conference being held 29-30 October 2024 at the InterContinental Barcelona-Fira Center in Barcelona, Spain. SESSION HIGHLIGHT: New Trends in Protocol Design: Reducing Site and Patient Burden The session opens with an insightful presentation by Matthew Bonam from AstraZeneca who will highlight how digital tools can streamline development and improve trial experiences, using case studies and patient testimonials to illustrate successful applications. Next, Jenna McDonnell & Caitlin Thomas will present on Integrated Trial Optimization, an approach designed to balance scientific and operational needs with patient and site considerations. They will showcase how their proprietary tools and data sources create optimized study designs that address these challenges. The session concludes with Marina Malikova who will discuss Optimisation of Protocol Design, addressing the complexities of protocol development, including strategies to ensure appropriate patient enrollment and data collection while managing costs and minimizing study complexity. She will also present a comprehensive scoring model to help improve fiscal efficiency and compliance in clinical trials. Overall, this session offers actionable insights into modernizing protocol design to better support patients and sites, ultimately advancing clinical research outcomes. https://bit.ly/3jRNCin #ScopeSummit #ClinicalTrials

A concerning new report indicates that results are missing from 475 clinical trials involving 83,903 patients in the Nordic countries. The failure to report clinical trial results publicly is a violation of medical research ethics and the Declaration of Helsinki. Unreported clinical trial results are considered research waste as they supply no benefit to patients or science. The World Health Organisation recommends that all trial results should be made public within 12 months of trial completion. Unfortunately, researchers often do not have time or resources to report their trial results in a timely and thorough manner. This is especially true for trials that yield negative results or are terminated early. At AdvanSci, our mission is to improve research quality and reduce research waste. We can help make sure your results are reported publicly in a timely, rigorous, and compliant manner, regardless of the trial results. Whether you want to report the results in a public registry or in a peer-reviewed publication, we can help. Visit www.advansci-research.com to learn more about our services. Contact us for a free 30-minute consultation to find out how we can help you.

Join Dr Fiona Adshead at CHI's 7th Annual SCOPE Europe: Summit for Clinical Ops Executives in Barcelona, Spain. On Monday 28th October, Dr Adshead will be leading a workshop on The Path Towards Sustainable Clinical Trials: How to Minimise Environmental Impact and Stay Ahead of Future Regulatory Requirements. Use code “SHC” for a discounted registration. Developing frameworks to define and manage sustainability risks, and effective guidelines to reduce the carbon footprint of clinical trial operations is a collaborative effort. This workshop will discuss the current hotspots of carbon emissions in clinical research, introduce a new clinical trial carbon footprint calculator for assessing current state, and suggest introductory reduction strategies. Whether you are in clinical trial design, clin ops, procurement, innovation, sustainability, or resource management, this workshop is for you. https://lnkd.in/gqduWCh

Celebrate #ClinicalTrialsDay today by checking out the newly released Toward a National Action Plan for Achieving Diversity in Clinical Trial, which includes eight domains and action steps intended to drive system-wide collective action. The need to improve diversity in clinical trials has been evident for many years, but a multi-sector action plan for system-wide, sustainable change was lacking. This foundational document is a call to collective action that has been (and continues to be) informed by the shared wisdom of hundreds of leaders in health equity and representation involved in a series of convenings over the last year. These include meetings held by the Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative (CTTI) in June 2023, the Multi-Regional Clinical Trials Center of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard (MRCT Center) in September 2023, Milken Institute’s FasterCures in November 2023, and the meeting today May 20, 2024, hosted by the National Academies Forum on Drug Discovery, Development, and Translation. We call on each of us from across the clinical research enterprise to step forward and commit to working together to implement this National Action Plan and achieve representative clinical trials. https://lnkd.in/eYa3nNYW

🔬 🧪 Thank you for joining us at our SCRI Clinical Trials Symposium!   It was truly inspiring to see so many thought leaders, industry partners and clinical research professionals come together to share knowledge and practical insights into how clinical trials not only improve patient lives but also contribute to positive health and economic outcomes in Singapore and beyond.   Your engagement in thoughtful discussions on topics such as the integration of real-world data with clinical development, the benefits of decentralised clinical trials and the crucial role of patient advance in trial design, was invaluable.    Let us continue on this journey together to tap on the potential of clinical trials to improve patient outcomes and transform tomorrow’s health!   “We must seize the opportunities we have today to advance clinical research as we strive to create a healthier tomorrow. In particular, we must invest more in trials centred on upstream prevention, leverage new health-tech innovations, and tap on clinical trials to advance more sustainable healthcare systems,” said Guest-of-Honour DPM Heng in his Opening Address.   In addition, read more about the launch of clinical trials portal, CTSG, in this article by The Straits Times. CTSG aims to provide key information for patients, and to guide clinical investigators and trial sponsors.  https://lnkd.in/gCPJTDRF   ✨ Stay tuned for the event highlights video!   For more info on SCRI, please visit www.scri.edu.sg   #SCRIClinicalTrialsSymposium2024 #TransformingTomorrowsHealth #clinicaltrials #clinicalresearch

📆 Today is International Clinical Trials Day! Clinical trials are used to assess the safety, efficacy, and use of treatment in humans so that a new medicine can be put on the market. One important aspect when initiating a clinical trial is making sure that the sample group is representative of the patient population. Recruiting patients from a variety of backgrounds allows us to refine the results in terms of treatment efficacy and safety according to the patient profile. At Servier, the clinical trials are managed by expert teams in 15 clinical development centers 🔬 divided into 3 hubs in the North and South America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. According to Marta Garcia, Chief Patient Officer R&D at Servier, 🗣 “Our global geographic footprint, local teams’ high degree of expertise, and our new hybridized trial models are what put us in a position to improve our clinical developments every day – improvements not only in the diversity of the patients in our trials, but also in our understanding of local characteristics. It likewise allows us to forge stronger ties with the health care professionals and investigator centers involved.” Read more about Servier’s clinical trials 🗣 https://swll.to/dYA5g #CTD2024 #InternationalClinicalTrialsDay #ClinicalTrials #MovedByYou
