Webinars

This webinar draws on experience in validating a select group of PerfO assessments in orthopaedics, an area with a strong history of performance measurement, with the intention of supporting future labelling claims. The PerfO assessments were Timed Up and Go, Stair Climbs and Repeated Chair Stands which were administered in hip fracture and elective hip and elective knee replacement patients in a multi-site study.​

This webinar will explore the patient's perspective on the barriers to patient engagement in the clinical trials. We discuss the clinical trials of the future in a world of cognitive computing and predicative analytics and how to engage patients further. It also provides a pharma and CRO view on issues to produce more engaging, cost- effective clinical trials.

This webinar will explain and provide examples to illustrate the importance of cultural adaptation and the steps in the linguistic validation process. The points will be made from a linguistic as well as a regulatory perspective paying particular attention to recent developments in the COA field.

Join ICON’s experts Dr. Marc Golightly, PhD and Domenica Gandini as they speak about considerations when developing Multiple Myeloma trials. A knowledge of the pitfalls, how to avoid them, and newer diagnostic testing will all contribute to the success of the study design and analysis of responses. 

Using a case study approach, webinar participants will learn more about developing ObsROs and implementing them in clinical studies. We’ll discuss some of the key challenges faced in developing and using an ObsRO, along with potential solutions.

Discussion will centre around the regulatory landscape for medical devices in digital health. We will highlight the key differences between the regulatory landscape for medical devices in digital health in the US and the European Union. As well as provide a forum to ask your own questions.

Join Prof. Brendan Buckley, (Chief Medical Officer of ICON), Dairine Dempsey, (Vice President of Strategic Regulatory Affairs at ICON) and Anand Iyer, Chief Strategy Officer of WellDoc for this joint HealthXL/ICON webina

Wearables are making a big impact on the consumer scene, with the Apple Watch setting the trend for general-purpose devices and FitBit well-established in wellness and fitness related applications.

With general-purpose consumer devices available widely and at relatively low cost, is it worth continuing to develop the existing ranges of specialist medical grade devices for this market, or could we make better use of the technology that already exists by re-purposing it with custom apps? How will such technology drive future clinical trial strategies in the pharma industry?

Join Richard Lingard (Dotmatics), Matt Jones (Tessella), Marie McCarthy (ICON), and Christian Gossens (Roche) for this Pistoia Alliance Debates webinar.
