AI & the New Clinical Trial Playbook - Free Matcha
AI is changing how clinical trials are planned and run—from protocol feasibility and site selection to enrollment, risk detection, monitoring and data review. But trial teams still face two practical questions: Which technologies are ready for real use? And how do you choose the right CRO, sites, platforms and specialist partners for a global study?
Join this happy hour held by a global full-service CRO built for cross-border clinical development, for an informal, discussion-led salon bringing together biotech founders and operators, scientists, clinical-development teams, investigators and sites, clinical-trial technology builders, investors and potential partners.
This is not a startup pitch competition, product demo or formal conference panel. After a brief opening conversation, attendees will move into facilitated small-group discussions organized around the questions they bring.
Topics may include: 1. choosing the right CRO, countries, sites and specialist partners; 2. deciding what a lean biotech sponsor should retain internally and what it can delegate; 3. understanding where AI is useful today across protocol planning, feasibility, site selection, enrollment, risk-based quality management, monitoring and data review; 4. evaluating evidence, validation, workflow integration, privacy, data rights and human oversight before adopting an AI solution; 5. balancing speed, cost, quality and patient access across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific; and building productive relationships among biotech companies, clinical operators, technology founders, sites, platforms and capital providers.
Come with one clinical-trial question you are trying to answer and one perspective you can share. Leave with practical criteria for evaluating partners and technology, a clearer view of what is working now and what is still emerging, and a few relevant new relationships.
