Clinical Trials Day 2024

11:00 AM - 11:45 AM ET

Pushing clinical trial boundaries

As Big Pharma focuses on blockbuster markets, what’s needed to push back on market boundaries that often leave small-market diseases in the cold? We’ll look at regulatory issues, incentive programs and patients’ need for more and better meds. And the panel will be moderated by Endpoints News founding editor John Carroll, who’s been grappling with these boundaries since being diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma several months ago.

From the frontlines to the future: Real stories from clinical trials

Clinical trials are critical in driving innovation of treatment options forward. Yet only an estimated 7 percent of cancer patients have participated in clinical trials. While there are many reasons for low participation, there are a number of misperceptions about participating in a clinical trial. Some patients fear they will be treated as an experiment or number rather than as real humans that need the best medical care. Lilly will be hosting a panel between researchers, HCPs, and patient advocacy leaders who will discuss the realities of trials and the merits of considering a clinical trial in a treatment plan, including being a part of a groundbreaking process that can contribute to advancing the science as well as receiving quality care at many touchpoints.
