Patients as Partners (March 3-4, 2014, Philadelphia) takes a comprehensive view of the patient experience and how we engage with patients across the entire clinical trial continuum. This includes early research, patient-centric protocol design, recruitment, retention, engagement, and communicating results with patients acting as ambassadors and educators.
The Conference Forum is proud to present Patients as Partners with CISCRP's founder Ken Getz as conference chair, along with an exciting speaking faculty representing industry, advocacy, academia, patients and the FDA. Together, they address the latest strategies, technologies and policies to vastly improve the patient experience in clinical trials. The conference addresses how sponsors of clinical trials can realistically partner with patients and how patients can partner with sponsors to meet the demands of:
- Evolving Science: Personalized Medicine
- Higher Quality Data
- Lower Dropout Rates
- New Therapies Faster to Market
Patients as Partners takes a broad view of the patient experience and how we engage with patients across the entire clinical trial continuum.
