Clinical trial patient recruitment and retention remains one of the key challenges to successfully bringing a new therapeutic to market. An estimated 85% of clinical trials face delays due to enrolment issues [1,2], and poor recruitment is a common reason for discontinuation [3]. Of those successfully enrolled, around 30% are likely to drop out [4], which increases costs for sponsors and threatens the viability of the trial itself.

Directly supporting patients from prescreening to study endpoint can help minimize delays and safeguard against early termination, but this can be difficult for hard-pressed sites. Join us as we discuss the most common patient support challenges – as described to us by YOU – and how our new Navigator service can solve them by giving patients a more personalized clinical trial experience and consistent contact, alleviating the burden on sites, and ensuring a sponsor’s study runs efficiently to help accelerate patient access to life-changing treatments.

We will share our insight into why the ‘human touch’ can elevate your in-study patient engagement to the next level and how this permeates through our Navigator service to benefit patients, sites and sponsors. You will also hear from a sponsor that has benefitted from our expertise: the difficulties they faced, the solutions we implemented and the difference we made. And we will share feedback from clinical trial participants about what they think of our support.

Solving your biggest patient recruitment and retention challenges

The presence of so-called “grey-market machines as illegal ways to gamble continue to create legal and regulatory issues for the gaming industry, as operators and regulators grapple with how to address a wide range of alternative ways to gamble including illegal slot machines operating as “games of skill.”  In addition, there has been a considerable expansion of “free to play” od co-called “social casino” gaming options in the US markets.  This panel will provide an update on the existing US legal challenges against the gray market and evaluate what regulators and operators can do together to combat the proliferation of “gray” slot machines.  In addition the panel will update how peer-to-peer skill game contests, freemium gaming (a/k/a “social casinos”), and daily fantasy sports variants remain unregulated but have been challenged by civil litigation, and similar issues being faced around the world.

Moderated by Bill Gantz, a Partner with Duane Morris, the panelists include:
• Daron Dorsey, Executive Director, AGEM
• Wulf Hambach, Partner, Hambach & Hambach
• Jeff Morris, Vice President – Public Affairs & Government Relations: PENN Entertainment
• Michael Pollock, Senior Policy Advisor, Spectrum Gaming Group

The Blurred Lines between Legal, Grey and Illegal Ways to Play

Technology is a driving component of the growing online sports betting and iGaming landscape in the U.S. and globally. The rise in uses of technology for operational purposes has also created opportunities to enhance compliance processes. From financial crime detection and anti-fraud measures to exploring data outputs for responsible gaming purposes, technology solutions focus on how an increasingly accessible amount of data can be leveraged for compliance efficiencies and regulatory expectations. How are systems being utilized to capture relevant information? How does the increasing focus on artificial intelligence play into solutions? Hear from industry leaders as they discuss their experiences, uses of technologies and their thoughts on applicability for compliance purposes.  

Moderated by Bob Boyle, Senior Manager at EY, the panelists are:
·         Gabrielle Angle, Director – Government Relations & Licensing at GeoComply
·         Patrick Bland, Chief Technology Officer at Acres Technology
·         Laura McAllister Cox, Chief Compliance Officer, Rush Street Interactive

How Technology is Playing a Significant Role in Gaming Compliance Programs

Putting the patient first has never been higher up the agenda throughout the drug development process, but can we further fine-tune our approach?

Tune into this webinar where we ask:
• How important is early patient engagement to business success.
• How do you ensure the patient voice is as ‘loud’ in later stages
• Whose responsibility is it to ensure the patient voice is heard

Viewers will come out with a deeper understanding of how to best keep the patient voice alive through all stages of drug development.

Keeping the patient voice alive through all stages of drug development

For clinical trial participants, navigating their way through a study can sometimes seem daunting and complicated. Without the right support, around 30% are likely to drop out [1], resulting in extra financial costs for sponsors and potentially placing the future of the trial in jeopardy.

However, sites don’t always have the time and resources available to commit to ongoing and consistent patient engagement. In our upcoming webinar, we will discuss common challenges participants and sites face when it comes to engagement and how our new ‘Navigator’ service is helping to change the game.

Hear how our new patient-centric service benefits patients, sites and sponsors by
ensuring patients get the support they need for the best clinical trial experience possible
decreasing the risk of early trial termination by improving the retention of participants until the very end of a study
reducing the burden on sites by performing a second layer of pre-screening, allowing sites to focus on the science.

Navigating patients step by step on their clinical trial journey

Marketing surrounding online sports betting is a constantly evolving landscape.  From licensing to the review of advertising language and prohibited phrases, the U.S. has seen many different approaches to this area.  Can the industry successfully regulate itself or will regulators need to step in to police the market?  Are the recent fines levied in Ohio a sign of a changing regulatory perspective?  Will there be a ripple effect in other regulated jurisdictions where previously regulation on marketing was light-touch?  Hear from experts in the industry discuss their thoughts on the future of marketing regulation in the U.S.

Are Marketing Restrictions Coming to the U.S. Markets?

New government targets for primary school student attainment have revived the conversation on how we can use pedagogical strategies and teaching methods to improve outcomes for learners. 

A pedagogical approach is at the core of the International Baccalaureate’s Primary Years Programme (PYP), a student-centric approach to education for children aged four to 11. The inquiry-based, transdisciplinary framework builds conceptual learning and delivers excellent outcomes by providing an education that is engaging, relevant, challenging, and significant. 

Learn more at our free webinar
At 1pm (GMT) on Thursday 16 March, join Education Today and the IB to:
• Learn about pedagogy and the PYP
• Understand how the programme complements the Ofsted framework 
• Hear from school leaders sharing their experiences of how implementing the PYP has improved student outcomes.

Read more about the Primary Years Programme: https://www.ibo.org/programmes/primary-years-programme/

Speakers:

• Jane Tipple, Principal, Bearsted Primary Academy: Jane has delivered both the National Curriculum and the IB PYP in two different academies, which are both authorized IB World Schools and have received successful Ofsted inspections under the new framework. She is passionate about the aspirations, philosophy, and ethos of the IB and its values and the significant impact on learning that the programmes have on all students.

• Peter Fidczuk, Development and Recognition Manager, International Baccalaureate UK and Ireland: Peter supports schools interested in developing IB programmes, engages with UK and Irish universities to develop their understanding of the IB and is the point of contact between the IB and the English Department of Education.

How can primary schools take a pedagogical approach to improvement?

Clinical trials don’t happen in a vacuum – they are often a significant undertaking that require people to integrate new routines and procedures into their existing lives, potentially for several years. Understanding, supporting and measuring the participant experience is therefore critical to designing studies that minimise stress and burden, reduce drop-out, and create a positive feedback loop for future programmes.  

 In this webinar Langland will speak to Jonathan Moshinsky, Co-Founder and CEO of Stitch, a technology start-up supporting participant retention by enabling in-study feedback, and Sofia Fionda, Co-Founder of Boxee Group, a healthcare specialist market research agency with expertise in uncovering what motivates people to take part in trials. Join us to explore the why, how and what of improving the clinical experience for participants, sites, and sponsors.

Improving the Clinical Trial Experience: Why, How, and What?

Global clinical trials are a vital component of pharma R&D. Utilizing sites in multiple countries not only provides increased access to eligible and diverse patients - and therefore more robust data - but also promotes health equity and research and innovation across continents.

Another benefit of global clinical trials is the potential for these studies to be completed more quickly and efficiently [1]. However, around four in five clinical trials fail to meet their patient recruitment deadlines [2], which delays patient access to innovative new therapeutics and can prove costly to Sponsors.

Just as treatments are becoming more personalized, so should clinical trial patient recruitment strategies. A ‘one size fits all’ approach to enrollment fails to consider how factors such as an individual country’s culture, healthcare structure and patients’ needs can affect a site’s ability to recruit eligible participants. The key to patient enrollment success is to ‘think local’, even for global studies.

In this webinar, we will:
Discuss the benefits of using a diversified patient recruitment approach for each country within a global study
Investigate how patient recruitment strategies can differ from country to country, 
Hear from two in-country patient recruitment specialists about the challenges relevant to their regions and how they work with sites to overcome these
Share how Innovative Trials’ ‘boots-on-the-ground’ approach in more than 70 countries around the world can help accelerate patient recruitment and retention for your clinical trials.

Patient Recruitment: Think Global, Act Local

To remain relevant in today’s rapidly changing, information-intense world, regulators must continually evaluate existing market conditions while considering the potential implications of external forces and advances that weigh in on how their markets operate. Featuring a distinguished panel of North American regulators who daily address complex issues like data privacy and cyber security threats to the rapidly growing digital gaming products, financial crime threats like money laundering, fraud and suspicious financial activity, and whether local or national advertising restrictions are warranted to minimize harm amid extensive player acquisition efforts, attempting to streamline the multi-jurisdictional compliance challenges that operators and suppliers face might seem a low priority but is a constant suggestion from the industry. Our panelists will begin by discussing the many challenges facing the industry as we start a new year and share their thoughts on the feasibility of building consensus toward streamlining the regulatory and licensing process.

Regulator Roundtable: regulating in a rapidly evolving world

Over the last few years, a long-running debate has been taking place about what are the appropriate approaches to assessment for today’s world and, since the conventional assessment of GCSEs and A levels was suspended during COVID-19, this debate has intensified with calls to replace GCSEs.  

Additionally, the pandemic accelerated the development of the digital classroom, and so, digital, or e-Assessments, are now on the horizon. Just what this will look like is open to question. For instance, AQA’s trial of digital GCSEs is exploring adaptive – or ‘smart’ – assessments that adjust in difficulty as students progress through the test. The International Baccalaureate (IB) has been assessing learning digitally since 2016 in its curriculum for 11 – 16 year olds, the Middle Years Programme (MYP), and has taken an alternative approach which utilises the full potential of the digital environment to assess knowledge and skills and to enhance learning in the classroom through a positive ‘backwash’ effect. 

Following the IB’s presentation at the ‘Next generation assessment – planning for the future’, (which is being held on the 17 Jan 2023  a conference sponsored by the ASCL, HMC and other organisations), we would like to invite you to learn more about the MYP and the IB’s approach to digital assessment. 

Join our free webinar at 1pm (GMT) on Thursday 26 January in partnership with the IB to learn more.

The International Baccalaureate® (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) is for students aged 11-16. Read more about the programme: Middle Years Programme (MYP) - International Baccalaureate® (ibo.org)

At 1pm (GMT) on Thursday 26 January, join Education Today and the IB to:
·    Learn about the MYP
·    Discover the MYP’s flexibility and its innovative digital summative assessments -  eAssessment
·    Understand how the programme complements the Ofsted framework
·    Hear two contrasting schools share their perspectives on implementing the MYP and eAssessments

The world is changing, and with it the skills young people need to have to succeed in their future careers, as well as understanding what is out there for them. A panel of experts will discuss how best to prepare them for their futures, and what platforms and tools are out there to help them do so.

Preparing Young People for the Future with Real-World Skills

Though equipment manufacturers provide ratings for equipment such as heat exchangers, it is an unfortunate fact that actual performance can vary massively. This is undoubtedly worrying for consultants, contractors and end-users, with the former lacking a verifiable basis for product selection, and the latter potentially subject to additional field testing and component performance margins. 

Similarly, contractors cannot hold full confidence that specified equipment will deliver to performance levels set out in proposals. But beyond these differing operational concerns, all stakeholders are united by a common concern – the financial impact of critical equipment not performing as it should, especially when energy costs are rising.

In this CPD-certified webinar session, Gemma Reeves, Business Unit Manager; Energy at Alfa Laval, demonstrates the importance of third-party independent performance verification to making sure your heat exchangers are working as efficiently as possible.

With over 20 years’ experience in heat transfer, Gemma will be providing advice and insight on the impact of the AHRI Certification Program in guaranteeing consistent heat exchanger performance and peace-of-mind when selecting such critical components. She will explore the performance criteria behind the accreditation, its importance to consultants, contractors and end-users, and how it can save you money in the long (or short) term.

Mark and Urs will be discussing the pros and cons of an enterprise-wide approach to patient centricity, and explore the measurable benefits it could deliver.

• Who should be involved in patient centric initiatives? 
• Should organisations focus their energies (and budget) on customer-facing or medical colleagues – or is there a benefit to including other functions? 
• Will an all-encompassing approach benefit the people, the organisation, the patients? 
• Is this the approach that will help companies meet their patient centricity goals – or is it an unnecessary extravagance?

Breaking Internal Silos to Ensure Patient Centricity is a Key Focus Company-Wide

Rare diseases are thought to affect up to 446 million people worldwide. With more than 7,000 rare diseases, most of which are genetic, it’s vital all patients can access new and effective treatments. 

We know patient recruitment can be challenging even for non-complex trials, but this issue is exacerbated for rare disease studies due to the much smaller patient populations involved. This can lead to lengthy delays in bringing what can be cutting-edge and potentially life-changing therapies to market.

With the global rare disease market expected to be worth more than US$547 billion within the next 10 years overcoming these challenges is critical. This webinar will:
explore some of the patient recruitment challenges in rare disease studies, particularly relating to sickle cell trials
hear from a patient and family member about what it means to live with a rare disease and highlight strategies to accelerate patient recruitment for these specialized trials. 

Learning Objective
Patient recruitment challenges in rare disease studies
Challenges in sickle cells studies
Family/Patient perspective 
Accelerating patient recruitment in rare disease studies

Agreeing sustainable value-based contracts with payers: myths and realities

COVID-19 has had a huge impact on how we all think and act. Our working environments may look very different now to the way they did pre-pandemic, and not all the changes have been negative. More flexible work schedules and an acceptance of new ways of thinking have allowed the diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) space to take a big step forward. But this is not the full story; some employees feel more isolated and excluded now than ever before.

In this panel debate, speakers will offer an introduction to DE&I in the workplace pre-and post-pandemic, plus a close look at the challenges, opportunities and limitations COVID-19 has created.

Talking points:

• What does ‘diversity’ mean to you and what does/should DE&I look like in the pharma industry?
• How has COVID-19 changed the way we approach DE&I in the workplace?
• Are we doing better in certain sectors of the industry than others?
• Has hybrid working helped or hindered a diverse working environment? Is it less inclusive?
• What is the benefit to the industry if DE&I is delivered successfully? How has COVID-19 furthered this goal?
• How can we inspire the next generation? How can we encourage them into the pharma industry and ultimately push for leadership roles?
