Platform Trials, Repurposing Studies, and Clinical Discoveries
Thursday, Mar 25, 2021 | 12:00pm – 1:30pm Eastern
Networking/Partnering afterward

At the last two annual Expanded Access Summits (2019 and 2020), FDA’s Dr. Janet Woodcock emphasized the growing role for “Platform Trials”, which can include both non-marketed and marketed products and dynamically add experimental treatment regimens for targeted groups of patients. This session explores the frontier of the “Learning Healthcare System” whereby larger segments of a disease population can participate in interventional trials.

Decentralized, Virtual, and Hybrid Clinical Trials
Thursday, Mar 11, 2021 | 12:00pm – 1:30pm Eastern
Networking/Partnering afterward
A broader, smarter clinical development process requires inclusivity – not just a wider range of patient phenotype and demographic, but also a greater range of location – non-traditional trial sites, communities who are not part on the roster of traditional research centers, families who cannot easily travel for in-person visits. This panel explores how crucial decentralization is to the fusion of research and healthcare.

Smarter Data Capture in Hybrid Clinical Programs
Thursday, Feb 25, 2021 | 12:00pm – 1:30pm Eastern
Networking/Partnering afterward
Amy Abernethy, MD, PhD | Michael Kurilla, MD, PhD | Eric Perakslis, PhD | Tobias Polak, MSc
This topic returns with a look to the future of data generation in healthcare. Will we have uniform standards? Will we achieve seamless integration between non-research personal health data and research data? What will this require? Finally, can the clinical use and outcomes of new treatments take a greater role in bringing products to market, supporting -not replacing- randomized clinical trials? The speakers will present their views on our progress toward a true “learning healthcare system”.
Speakers:
Amy Abernethy, MD, PhD, Principal Deputy Commissioner and Acting Chief Information Officer, FDA

Paul Aliu, PharmD | Lee Gehrke, PhD | Michael Joyner, MD | Naomi Lopez | Peter Marks, MD, PhD
The year 2020 presented the public with an unprecedented healthcare delivery challenge: A rapidly spreading, global contagion with poor characterization and serious to fatal outcomes for segments of the infected population. This session reviews the countermeasures developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and examines whether pre-market access programs -including EUA and Expanded Access- were adequately utilized to meet the world’s urgent healthcare and research needs.
