The Ultimate Directory on Clinical Trials Webinars

The tumor microenvironment is a complex mix of cancer cells, immune cells, and other components that all play a part in tumor progression, metastasis, and therapy responses. Understanding the highly dynamic nature of the tumor microenvironment and the factors that influence those changes is essential for developing effective precision oncology therapies. Innovations in computational pathology and artificial intelligence, coupled with novel multiplex biomarker assays, are critical to fostering that understanding. Together, they are paving the way for scientists to better characterize the unique cancer cell populations, spatial relationships, and differences in immune responses in the tumor microenvironment.In this GEN webinar, Michael Downing, Senior Image Analysis Scientist at Ultivue, will review the state of the field and introduce Ultivue’s two core platform technologies: InSituPlex® assays, and its proprietary Spatial Image Analysis pipeline featuring UltiStacker.AI™ and UltiAnalyzer.AI™. He will also explain how these technologies work together to provide high confidence insights from tumor data for scientists developing precision cancer therapies.Topics covered in the webinar will include:How AI-supported spatial image analysis together with Ultivue’s InSituPlex assays deliver accurate and scalable insights into the biology of the tumor microenvironment.How Ultivue’s 12-plex assay verification demonstrates its readiness to provide a comprehensive view of the tumor microenvironment.A live Q&A session will follow the presentation, offering you a chance to pose questions to our expert panelist.

In the United States, public health and health care delivery have largely taken different and siloed approaches, with health care focused on the treatment of individuals and public health centered on the total population within a geographic region. Collaboration between the sectors is essential to advancing both health outcomes and equity—a lesson driven home during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a new webinar, Manatt Health will provide an in-depth look at the innovative ways California health agencies are working together to bridge the gap between public health and managed care health care delivery—and what other states can learn from the California model.

As the life sciences industry continues to evolve rapidly, clinical research organizations (CROs) and trial sites are facing new challenges and opportunities in 2024. This webinar is designed to provide industry leaders with a deep dive into the most critical clinical trial supply trends and the strategies needed to navigate these effectively.

This webinar pertains to fry shortening reduction, and how it impacts the bakery sector's savings. A significant focus will be given to food ingredients and innovations, along with food sustainability and environment.

Staying current with regulatory changes is important when it comes to staying out of trouble with regulatory agencies, maintaining your reputation, and successfully conducting clinical trials. Join Marc Wartenberger, Director Corporate QA & Compliance at CRIO, for a review of new regulations, guidance, and decisions from 2023 that will impact clinical research.

Discover an informative webinar delving into how strategic oncology clinical trial design shapes success in early oncology studies using novel approaches. Trial design in early-phase oncology studies has a critical impact on the success of the study. Novel approaches such as biomarker stratification, adaptive enrichment designs, outcome-adaptive randomization and the integration of real-world data have been developed. In addition, under Project Optimus, dose expansion requires the selection of the most appropriate dose and schedule to be brought into the registrational trial, which also needs to be accomplished via dose-finding studies in early-phase trials. Attendees will learn insights into the trade-offs between protocol design options and offer insight into developing a trial structure that maximizes the chances of success in later phases of research while minimizing risk. Join this webinar to explore the intricate world of oncology trial design and gain valuable insights to enhance research approaches.

Discover an informative webinar discussing digital biomarkers in neuropsychiatric trials, leveraging an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven platform for enhanced treatment outcomes. Drugs for psychiatric conditions suffer some of the lowest approval rates when compared to other major therapeutic areas. Underlying factors can include complex and poorly understood etiology, which are heterogeneous in presentation, and underlying pathophysiology. Additionally, traditional clinical studies fail to objectively assess cognitive function as part of patient eligibility criteria or stratify patients according to the presence or degree of cognitive impairment. Cognitive function assessments and electroencephalogram (EEG) enable the measurement of pharmacodynamic endpoints in early-stage, translational psychiatric studies, however many studies do not leverage these tools today.

Discover an informative webinar exploring how streamlined interactive response technology (IRT) solutions simplify trials, cut costs and accelerate study initiation. Every clinical trial is distinct, with specific objectives and complexities. Similarly, choices for IRT systems can range from highly customizable platforms to more streamlined “express” solutions. In an increasingly complex clinical trial landscape, sponsors are often faced with balancing efficiency, budget constraints and trial complexity when choosing the most appropriate IRT solution. A sponsor might choose a streamlined or simplified version of IRT system for several reasons, depending on the specific circumstances of their clinical trial. The featured speakers will explore scenarios where this type of IRT system can lead to quicker trial initiation and cost savings. See how ICON Flex Advantage Express can support businesses as an economical IRT solution, where little to no customization is required. The speakers will demo how this tool provides IRT essentials such as screening, enrolment, randomization, dispensation, cohort management, emergency unblinding/reporting, notifications and integrations. They will also discuss optional services such as user acceptance testing (UAT) script writing and pack list/randomization list generation. Engage with the speakers and panel of experts for answers to specific questions about IRT solutions and to learn more about how a streamlined IRT system can benefit specific clinical trial needs. Key takeaways: Gain insights into the advantages of how a streamlined IRT solution can simplify clinical trials Learn when it’s ideal to opt for streamlined IRT and how it can align with study objectives See a demo of ICON’s Flex Advantage Express, an IRT solution that embodies the principles discussed during the webinar Embarking on a successful clinical trial journey requires the right tools and strategies and selecting the ideal IRT system is a critical step. Join this webinar to discover how streamlining IRT in clinical trials can help to achieve business goals for accelerated study initiation, greater cost containment and more efficient resource utilization, to ultimately support the overarching aim of bringing innovative treatments to patients sooner.
