INSTRUCTOR:
Brenda Yanak, Former Vice President, Bristol Myers Squibb Co.; Founder, Clinical Transformation Partners LLC
As clinical trials grow in complexity and scale, the role of informed consent becomes more critical—and more challenging—than ever. This interactive workshop explores the evolving landscape of consent in the digital age, from the automation of consent form development to navigating global ethics and privacy regulations. We'll examine the responsibilities embedded in consent language, new international policies designed to uphold participant rights, and the use of AI-powered tools to review, manage, and search consent documents for transparency and compliance. Designed for the broader clinical operations community, this session will be especially valuable for professionals focused on consent processes, patient recruitment, study start-up, site activation, decentralized trials, clinical technology, and clinical data. Attendees will leave with actionable insights into how technology can safeguard ethics while streamlining consent workflows across diverse trial environments.
