Life Science Leader and ClinicalLeader.com Announce New Forum for Small to Mid-Sized Pharma and Biotech Companies

Erie, PA, December 07, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Life Science Leader and ClinicalLeader.com are excited to introduce Clinical Leader Forum, a new conference tailored just for executives at pharma and biotech sponsor companies that rely on contract research organizations for clinical trials. The inaugural event is scheduled for May 10 through 11 at the Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue.

“Having attended many clinical shows and conferences, I feel the major challenges and concerns of smaller- to mid-sized companies are not adequately addressed,” says Ed Miseta, chief editor for Clinical Leader. “This leaves many executives left out of the discussion. While large companies focus on topics such as RBM, adaptive trials, and big data, smaller firms are still struggling with the basics of how to select a CRO, manage their sites, price their trial, and get quality and timeliness from study partners. This conference will present actionable information on those topics to help companies be more successful in conducting their clinical trials.”

The event will include 12 sessions loaded with takeaways to improve outsourced trial outcomes, 25+ speakers with real experience at small and mid-sized sponsor companies, a keynote on the controversial rise and fall of Scios and its heart failure drug, Nesiritide, an intimate exhibition space for meeting-and-greeting 30+ potential CRO partners, and plenty of opportunities to network.

“I love your approach to the conference. All companies, big and small, have much we can learn from each other,” says Stephanie Petrone, Executive Director Medical Operations, Novartis.

Stephanie Petrone, Executive Director Medical Operations | Novartis
Deirdre BeVard, VP Development Operations | Nektar
