MediciGlobal to Chair 2nd Annual International Patient Recruitment Conference Organized by Conference Experts: Allan Lloyds and Company
Senior level industry executives from biopharmaceutical companies of all sizes, will come together specifically to formally and informally discuss issues related to patient recruitment and retention for clinical trials.
Amsterdam, February 17-18th 2010 - As clinical studies grow in complexity, patient recruitment and retention becomes ever more problematic, leading in many cases to drug development bottlenecks, delayed studies and increased costs. All pharmaceutical companies want to find cost savings, and even more so in today’s challenging economic environment.
The pharmaceutical and biotech industry conducts large numbers of clinical trials each year. Regulatory requirements, as well as other scientific and marketing needs, mean that many of these studies continue to need ever-larger numbers of patients. There is much to discuss and to further understand about patient recruitment and retention, and this important conference is an opportunity to get up to date with the latest information, while networking with industry colleagues.
The conference is designed specifically for senior level executives (Directors and above) with responsibility for: Clinical Research, Clinical Operations, Clinical Monitoring, Clinical Trials, Clinical Site Management, Patient Recruitment and Medical Directors.
So far, senior management from the following companies are confirmed to speak: AstraZeneca, BBK Worldwide, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol-Myers Squibb, D. Anderson & Company, Grunenthal, GSK, GSK Biologicals, Johnson & Johnson, The MRN Ltd., Novartis, Pfizer Global Research and Development and sanofi – aventis Netherlands BV.
On the first day of the two-day conference, Liz Moench, President and CEO of MediciGlobal will specifically address the topic of Patient Recruitment and Retention Yesterday and Today. She will give industry insight from the past 20 years. Her presentation will examine how far we have come and where the industry is heading specifically touching on: what we do differently today, what mistakes are still being made 20 years after the first recruitment programmes were introduced, how technology is enabling recruitment success and the industry shift to reach a global population.
