In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
Site training effectiveness depends on readiness at first-patient-in, requiring learning-science design principles around performance focus, cognitive load reduction, progressive sequencing, and spaced retrieval practice rather than training completion metrics or content volume.
In this Q&A, Claire Riches, VP of clinical solutions at Citeline, discusses how AI is transforming endpoint selection and protocol pressure-testing, what data inputs matter most for realistic enrollment planning, and why the tools are more accessible than most sponsors assume.
In today's ACT Brief, we examine the FDA's multi-domain transparency priorities, why radiopharmaceutical trials need redesigned infrastructure, and how AI can make enrollment more predictable.
Radiopharmaceutical therapy is exposing a broader challenge for clinical development: scientific innovation can advance only as fast as the infrastructure, data, and cross-functional decisions required to deliver it.
A new FDA Voices post from the agency's acting chief of staff details completed milestones and upcoming priorities across complete response letter disclosure, application lifecycle transparency, new approach methodologies, labeling, and inspectional records.
In today's ACT Brief, we examine FDA input sought on early-phase ibogaine protocols, why mixed outsourcing models spread faster than oversight infrastructure, and a major partnership for a rare kidney disease treatment.
Mixed FSP and FSO models are gaining ground as sponsors seek agility and resource flexibility, but the oversight infrastructure, audit trails, and accountability structures needed to run them well and survive regulatory inspection are consistently lagging behind the model itself.
A new request for information asks for comments on dose selection, safety monitoring, eligibility criteria, and oversight approaches to support the responsible development of ibogaine drug products.
