MODERATORS:
Marina Filshstinsky, MD, Executive Director, SCOPE Summit; Co-Founder, ClinEco
Erik Yorke, Marketing Lead and Scientific Writer, ClinEco
Join an interactive discussion with your peers in a relaxed setting to discuss patient recruitment/retention, site management, and protocol design challenges. This is not a lecture, but a discussion to tackle three key points and ways the clinical research industry can address them and better collaborate to improve the speed of trials. A post-conference report will be generated and distributed based on the discussion. The interactive discussion and report are hosted by SCOPE 365, the digital community and extension of SCOPE, as well as ClinEco, our dynamic online B2B marketplace bringing together sponsors, CROs, site networks, and innovative solution providers. Bring your friends and your ideas. Open to all SCOPE attendees.
2:00 – 3:30 pm OPEN WORKSHOP: The Path towards Sustainable Clinical Trials: Reducing the Environmental Impact of Global Clinical Trials
INSTRUCTOR:
Michael Cohen, Senior Director, Lead, Environmental Sustainability, PPD/Thermo Fisher Scientific
While developing leading and innovative therapies, we must not lose sight of the environmental impacts and greenhouse gas emissions. We can reduce the environmental impact of our studies by prioritizing remote visits and monitoring, by reducing kit wastage, and working together to find ‘greener’ solutions. This workshop will provide a brief overview of research and introductory strategies for reducing emissions, as well as a 'Sustainability 101' to help anyone in our industry get started towards developing more environmentally responsible clinical trials. Open to all SCOPE attendees. Sustainable Healthcare Coalition is a Partnering Organization at SCOPE.
