Scope 2023: Emerging Biopharma Companies

In the pivotal CREST clinical trial, sasanlimab in combination with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin met the primary endpoint of event-free survival.

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.

Interim KEYNOTE-689 trial data show that perioperative Keytruda significantly lowers the risk of disease progression or recurrence in resectable, locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, marking the first major clinical advance for this patient population in more than two decades.

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.

Lorundrostat, a selective aldosterone synthase inhibitor, significantly reduced systolic blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled and treatment-resistant hypertension in the Phase II Advance-HTN trial, indicating its potential as a safer, more effective alternative to current therapies.

Brensocatib significantly reduced the rate of pulmonary exacerbations and slowed lung function decline in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis in the Phase III ASPEN trial.
