Preconference Workshops
Tuesday, February 27, 2024
8:00 am Registration and Morning Coffee
9:30 - 12:00pm Workshop A
As real world evidence continues to boom into a mainstay for biopharma, the impact of the constraints to access data sources is more however profound than ever. Finding and engaging existing registries that are suitable for your study can be challenging and expensive. There is a need to design and curate your own registry to ensure all requirements are met for your study, however, this can take time and also be expensive.
Hear from key leaders on how you can:
- Engage the right stakeholders and develop collaborative relationships with each
other - Collect the right quantity of data and ensure data integrity in a cost-effective and
time-efficient way - Ensure data harmonisation and linkage from multiple data sources

13:00 - 16:00pm Workshop B
In response to budget constraints, pharmaceutical companies are exploring innovative strategies to optimize their product development processes. One promising approach involves the use of single-arm trials with synthetic control arms, a cost-effective alternative to traditional randomized controlled trials. By harnessing robust real-world evidence, this approach not only reduces costs but also accelerates decision-making in drug development, offering a streamlined and efficient clinical trial framework. Your peers will share their experiences and perspectives around this approach, through an interactive fireside chat and mastermind session to get you thinking about the promise of synthetic control arms.
Join this Interactive Session to learn how to:
- The best way forward when considering leveraging external control arms in your
study - How to harness real world evidence and previous clinical trial data efficiently
- Future considerations in evidence-based decision-making
