CLINICAL TRIALS INSPECTION READINESS

SUMMIT

5th

Dear Colleague,

Over the past few years, there has been a significant rise in the number of inspections conducted. With

this increase in frequency comes stricter guidelines and higher standards from regulatory bodies. Since all

inspections are different, a sponsor organization needs to be prepared for any curveballs thrown at them,

regardless of the regulatory authority conducting the inspection.

Preparing a robust clinical trial inspection readiness plan involves many moving parts. Included in this plan

is the oversight of every partner involved in the study, which can range from a CRO to all of the different

clinical sites where the trial is taking place. Proper training and management of all stakeholders is a necessary

component of the preparation process. Millions of dollars are spent on the development of effective strategies

to plan and execute inspections, yet many issues can still arise. Failing an inspection can lead to severe

consequences — and potentially result in the shutdown of a clinical trial.

Between the industry’s rapid evolution and the push to integrate technology into all aspects of business, it

is crucial your organization stays up to speed and educated on the latest trends. The shift to eTMF and eISF

systems is inevitable, and the way inspectors will conduct trials in the near future is sure to follow suit. The 5th

Clinical Trials Inspection Readiness Summit is the place where pharmaceutical professionals can come

together to discuss developments that affect the industry as a whole. Over the course of two days, this event

will provide sponsors, CROs, sites and technology vendors with best practices to ensure they remain prepared.

Join us in August in Philadelphia, and take home the knowledge that will help your organization be inspection

ready.

Sincerely,

Dio Lichiardopol Scott GrossmanConference Production Director Division Head, Conference Production
