Phase III trial data published in The New England Journal of Medicine support Nucala’s role as an add-on biologic therapy to lower exacerbation rates and delay disease progression in patients with eosinophilic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease receiving standard inhaled treatment.

In this episode of the Applied Clinical Trials Podcast, Liz Beatty, co-founder and chief strategy officer, Inato, discusses a number of topics around site engagement including community-based sites, the role of technology in improving site/sponsor relationships, how increased operational costs are impacting the industry, and more.

Rinvoq (upadacitinib) becomes the first oral JAK inhibitor approved by the FDA for the treatment of giant cell arteritis in adults, following robust data from the Phase III SELECT-GCA trial demonstrating its efficacy in achieving sustained remission and reducing glucocorticoid exposure.

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.
