COVID-19: Impact on Clinical Research Operations and a Path Forward

We have all felt the impact of COVID-19. Whether it is in our professional or personal lives, our “normal” way of operating is no more. But where do we go from here? What happens when the threat is diminished to a manageable degree? Will we go back to business as usual, or have the ways of working been permanently altered? In this session, we will discuss the impact of COVID-19 on clinical research operations from both a site and sponsor perspective. After an initial discussion of the efforts Janssen is taking to combat the impact of this pandemic, we will break into smaller groups to discuss the impact on patients, sites, and sponsors, discuss what sites and sponsors need from each other to continue providing clinical research as a care option for patients, and how we can work together to emerge from this pandemic even stronger than we were before.

No going back, preparing sites for trials of the future

• Diversity in clinical trials: how do we ensure that trial participants represent the true disease population?
• Here to stay: what important trends have been accelerated due to COVID? Perspective from sites
• Operationalizing a protocol: why it’s important to hear from the people doing the work

Moving at the Speed of Science

The response to the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that exceptional efforts can dramatically accelerate the clinical development of vaccines. So, what will it take to evolve the clinical trials ecosystem to better serve all patients? How do we partner to ensure equity in clinical trial access and awareness? What is the future of digitization and decentralization in clinical development?
