The COVID-19 pandemic continues to reshape our world and our approaches to clinical trials. During the last 20 months, the risk-benefit ratios of many innovative methodologies and technologies has inversed. Risk averse organizations have grasped the realities that these new innovative methods are now the only means to efficiently execute clinical trials.  This new reality and the ongoing need for real time data collection and consumption require new creative and live data flows. An additional ramification of this evolution has been a significant improvement in the level of collaboration required and realized within our organizations and with our external partners and technology providers. Let us discuss how we can cement this “New Normal” to not only maintain the momentum but to ensure these valuable innovations are sustainable.

  • Summary of the experience in delivering critical treatments/vaccines in response to a public healthcare crisis
  • How did the Risk-benefit dynamic drive innovation or the implementation of innovations in your COVID19 trials and/or other trials during the pandemic?
  • Were there any note-worthy cross-functional collaboration dynamics?
  • What do you feel were the most impactful innovations leveraged (could be process or technology)?
  • Were you able to leverage data in new creative ways to gain more value in execution/operations?
  • What do you think will stay with us from the innovations as our new normal going forward?

9:10 Case Study: Moving Beyond the Promise of Connected Health, Learning from Implementation at Scale
Justin WrightJustin Wright, Vice President, Global Head Connected Health, Novartis
Adama IbrahimAdama Ibrahim, EMBA, Director, Digital Solutions, Novartis
At Novartis Global Drug Development, we have a vision to accelerate digital products by developing one or more “connected health” solutions (connected device, wearable, software as a medical devices) into our drug programs over the next 5 years. This showcase of the Connected Health group, formed to deliver the vision, will focus on presenting the real work that has been done as a collaboration to bring these digital health tools to clinicians, patients and to pharma research that improve the overall health care experience and improve access to trials. How does an integrated patient experience deliver more value to patients, providers and payers? How do you give patients their own digital data so they can be more engaged in their treatment plans? How can Connected Health improve clinical workflow, communication, data exchange and clinical research? How do you do this at scale, beyond a pilot?

1:40 Why Advancing Inclusive Research Is a Moral, Scientific and Business Imperative
Meghan McKenzieMeghan McKenzie, Principal,  Inclusion, Patient Insights and Health Equity, Chief Diversity Office, Genentech
Our industry is rightfully focused on the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in clinical trials. Many of us have been focused on this in our work and/or in our advocacy, both inside and outside of our organizations for some time. Why is inclusivity so important to PIs and patients? Why is it both a moral and a business imperative? Learn why representation in clinical research matters for your patients and how it shapes good science. The face of the world is changing and your success is tied to reaching ethnic minorities.

2:00 Panel Discussion: Implicit Bias Around Advocacy and Decision Making: Metrics of DE&I and Speaking the Language of Business and Leadership
Kimberly RichardsonPanel Moderator: Kimberly Richardson, Research Advocate, Founder, Black Cancer Collaborative
Panelists:
Karriem WatsonKarriem Watson, PhD, Chief Engagement Officer, NIH
Monique PhillipsMonique Phillips, Clinical Trial Recruitment Specialist, Bristol Myers Squibb
Nikhil WagleNikhil Wagle, MD, Assistant Professor, Harvard Medical School, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
What is the perspective of Black professionals and patient advocates as the medical and scientific industries grapple with effective ways to engage minority population? Where are their voices being heard and what can we learn from the cultural experiences they weave into their research methodologies and daily practices? Panelists will share their perspectives on how the Black voice should be included in advocacy and public and private aspects of clinical research.
