– Review available programs and resources that facilitate the integration of naïve sites into oncology research.
Addressing Enrollment Challenges
This session will examine the gap between enrollment targets and actual patient populations in oncology trials. We’ll discuss critical issues such as diversity, patient retention challenges, and the importance of accurate feasibility assessments. Gain insights into leveraging reliable data, improving access, and applying innovative strategies from sponsors and CROs to enhance patient recruitment and engagement.
Learning Objectives:
– Discuss the gap between enrollment targets and patient populations in oncology trials.
– Implement best practices to reduce patient burden and improve retention rates.
– Apply emerging strategies from sponsors and CROs to enhance patient recruitment and engagement.
AI In Oncology: From Promise To Practice
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, clinical trial sites are increasingly presented with AI solutions designed to enhance trial and care platforms. Join us as we examine the current role of AI in oncology trials, emphasizing the practical steps for integrating these technologies into site operations. Learn how to effectively navigate the AI landscape, make informed decisions, and leverage technology to elevate clinical trial performance.
Learning Objectives:
– Evaluate AI solutions that align with your site’s needs and improve trial portfolios, care pathways, and patient access.
– Identify the costs and time investments required to implement multiple AI platforms.
– Assess the tangible benefits of AI solutions against the promises made by providers.
Cultivate A Research-Ready Culture Through Trust & Engagement
Integrating clinical research into standard oncology care has the potential to significantly increase patient participation in cancer trials. Join us to explore methods for creating a culture where clinical trials are routinely considered viable care options and the importance of educating both patients and physicians about these opportunities. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to foster a research-friendly environment, empower their teams, and strengthen patient-physician relationships.
Learning Objectives:
– Identify strategies to embed a culture of clinical research within your patient population and ensure trials are presented as standard care options.
– Discuss how to leverage networks and platforms to connect patients with appropriate trials for enrollment.
– Utilize practical tools, talking points, and insights to support efforts in promoting clinical trials as a routine care option.
