Second Annual
Integrating and Leveraging Clinical Trial Operations Data:
Portals, Data Warehouses, Site/Study Execution Metrics
February 6-7, 2013 * Hyatt Regency Miami * Miami, FL
Part of: Summit for Clinical Trials Operations Executives (SCOPE)

Dear Colleague:

We are pleased to announce production of Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Second Annual Integrating and Leveraging Clinical Trial Operations Data: Portals, Data Warehouses, Site/Study Execution Metrics being held February 6-7, 2013 at the Hyatt Regency Miami in Miami, Florida.

This gathering is co-located within the Summit for Clinical Trials Operations Executives (SCOPE), a three-day cluster of events that attracted 400 leaders in clinical operations and research in February 2012. CHI’s Integrating and Leveraging Clinical Trial Operations Data: Portals, Data Warehouses, Site/Study Execution Metrics will be preceded by the Electronic Data in Clinical Trial; Global Site Selection, Feasibility Assessment, Operations and Site Management; Implementing and Managing Strategic Alliances; and Post-Marketing Studies as a Tool for Safety, Outcomes and Comparative Effectiveness Research conferences. Topics to be discussed include:

• Utilizing portals: Integrating data, enabling communications, and optimizing clinical trial operations methodology
• Clinical Trial Operations and Clinical Data Integration: Building data warehouses to integrate clin ops and clinical data across studies
• Data mining and warehousing: Strategies for getting more information from existing clinical trial data
• Improving site and study execution metrics: Measuring performance in terms of monitoring, site identification, and clinical supply chain and then optimizing trials accordingly
• Internal benchmark performance standards and metrics: Improving performance and accountability by providing context for planning and gap analysis
• Leveraging technology to optimize trial design, management and analysis: Increasing clinical trial efficiency through operational data management and its re-use
• Electronic Trial Master Files (eTMFs): Supporting effective study management to ensure data quality and compliance
• Reducing source data verification/monitoring costs: Achieving cost savings for Sponsors and sites by electronically transferring data from the sites’ source documents to sponsor's CRF system
• Integrating alternative types of data in a central data repository: DICOM images, CT and MRI scans, echocardiogram and ECG tracings, EEG/PSG data, central laboratory data and other data not directly
   captured in the CDMS or EDC

If you are interested in presenting, please submit a speaking proposal for review. Please note that due to limited speaking slots, preference is given to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, regulators and those from academic /hospital centers. Additionally, as per CHI policy, a select number of vendors/consultants who provide products and services to these biopharmaceutical companies are offered opportunities for podium presentation slots based on a variety of Corporate Sponsorships.

The deadline for submission is May 25, 2012.  Please click here to submit a proposal.
