Lighting a “Beacon of Hope” to Address Racial Inequity in Clinical Trials, Health, and Education

PANEL MODERATOR:

Vicky DiBiaso, MPH, BScN, Global Head, Patient Informed Development & Health Value Translation, Sanofi

Launched in July 2021 as a $33.7M commitment from Novartis and the Novartis US Foundation, Beacon of Hope began as a 10-year collaboration to increase diversity among clinical trial participants and investigators; improve access to high-quality education and promising jobs; address inherent bias in the data standards, and find actionable solutions to environmental and climate issues that disproportionately affect health among communities of color. This session brings together leaders from collaborating partner companies Novartis, Sanofi, Merck, and one of the participating HBCUs to discuss how Beacon of Hope aims to improve the quality and inclusivity of clinical trials.

Would I Want My Mother to Be Part of a Clinical Trial?

Virginia Nido, Global Head, Product Development Industry Collaborations, Genentech, a member of the Roche Group

For many years, our industry has been talking about becoming more patient-centric and innovative in our approach to clinical trials and all the great things we are doing to make clinical trials more convenient for participants. But have we really changed the experience for patients or are we just continuing to admire the problem? Would you really want YOUR mother to be part of one of your clinical trials? We need to get real. It should not take a pandemic to make changes to our protocols and processes and ways of working. But we still have so far to go and together we must continue to drive an uncomfortable level of change.

9:05 am INTERACTIVE PANEL:

Navigating a Global Crisis: Pandemic, War, Hyperinflation, Supply Chain Disruptions…You Name It

PANEL MODERATOR:

Balazs Flink, Senior Director, Clinical Development Operations, Daiichi Sankyo, Inc.

Running a complex clinical trial involves a lot of moving pieces, forward planning, modeling, allocation of resources, and a neverending ability to adjust while maintaining the highest standards. It has never been easy, but many of us in the clinical research profession know how to do our part. The advent of DCTs, novel tech and data sources, and then the pandemic put us all to the test. However, we are now facing supply chain disruptions and other human/material resource challenges that make everything even more complicated. What is a clinical ops leader to do?

Budgeting in Financially Uncertain Times: Planning around Massive Inflation

Kenneth Olovich, Director, Sourcing and Finance, Chorus Division, Eli Lilly and Company

Uncertain financial times, shifting labor markets, and inflation at record-high levels have put intense pressure on operating expenses and cash flow for pharma companies.  Now more than ever, accurate trial forecasts and predictive cost models are necessary that build in inflationary risks and other tolerances.  CROs who help their sponsors do this well will be favored and will appear as partners who are good stewards of money.

11:40 am

Optimizing Clinical Trial Agreements and Budgets in the New Regulatory Landscape and Evolving Challenges

Marina Malikova, PhD, Executive Director, Surgical Translational Research, Operations and Compliance, Boston University School of Medicine

Managing clinical trials, of any size and complexity, requires strategic planning, negotiations of agreements/budgets to ensure adequate resource allocation, risk mitigation and cost efficient execution. In order to successfully deliver innovative therapies to patients with unmet medical needs the trial management regulatory guidelines need to be standardized further, and robust methods of evaluation of study protocol complexity developed in conjunction with risk management strategies, adequate provisions in clinical trials agreements and accurate budgeting are needed.

Mutually Supportive Site Budgeting & Contracting: Simple Ways for Sponsors to Optimize a Positive Financial Relationship with Their Investigator Sites (or “Six Simple Steps Sponsors Should Speedily Systematize so Sites Smile Serenely”)

Christopher Chan, Vice President, FP&A, IGM Biosciences, Inc.

When it comes to budgeting, contracting, and payments, the sponsor-investigator site relationship has long been characterized by significant difficulties and contention. That these challenges have proven so enduring over time underscores their inherently persistent nature. Using multiple real-world anecdotes, this presentation will explore some of the more common issues and analyze potential effective ways these challenges can be alleviated and even subdued. 

2:45 pm

Clinical Trial Budgets: A Perfect Storm Challenging Study Delivery

Karen Lodigiani, Senior Director, Head, Site Contracts & Budget Management, Daiichi Sankyo

Site contract and budget negotiations have contributed to significant delays to study start-up for years. The impact of the pandemic, inflation, and staffing shortages has significantly increased site burden. While a site-centric approach by Sponsors that incorporates FMV principles and aligns with Site expanded needs can be an effective strategy for efficient site contract and budget negotiation in this environment, implementation requires Site and Sponsor collaboration.

8:30 am Breakfast Presentation Option #1Achieving the Impossible: Maximizing Patient Experience and Data Quality in a Complex Rare Disease Program

Caroline Jackson, Executive Vice President, Patient Services, mdgroup

Mobile health has a significant impact on patient retention and experience in clinical trials. However,it’s still under-utilized as there is a perception that more complex assessments and procedures cannot be conducted effectively in the home. This case study highlights how mdgroup worked with a client to implement complex sample collections in the homes of patients suffering from a rare disease, resulting in reduced travel burden and low dropout rates.

Chairperson's Remarks

Christopher Chan, Vice President, FP&A, IGM Biosciences, Inc.

9:15 am PANEL DISCUSSION:The Truth behind the Financial Impact of Decentralized Clinical Trials
PANEL MODERATOR:

Meghan Harrington, Vice President Clinical Trial Financial Management, Medidata

The impacts of decentralized trials on clinical financial management are becoming clearer as more sites, sponsors, and CROs execute virtual and hybrid trials.  Data is key to understanding the impacts but does the industry have enough cost benchmarking data to make conclusions and respond accordingly?  Measuring data to understand the difference between perception and reality when it comes to the impact of DCTs is crucial.  Join this panel session as different stakeholders share notes on the effects of remote monitoring and the shift from SDV to SDR, hidden costs on DCTs that we all may not be accounting for, and the extra time that sites may spend supporting the patients with technology. 

 

In this session, you will learn:

●  How algorithms in the industry around costing benchmarks take into account remote/ virtual visits

●  Unique financial challenges sites are facing that could affect the patient experience

●  How to reimagine financial stability and planning for decentralized clinical trials
