Independent event adjudication has the power to enhance the scientific validity of cardiovascular trials by allowing consistent assessment of cardiovascular events and employing standardized definitions across trial sites.


TORONTO (PRWEB)

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the ability of clinical researchers to collect data assessing cardiovascular events. Because the SARS-CoV-2 virus is commonly associated with cardiovascular risk, patients may be more reluctant to seek medical attention, resulting in underreporting of cardiovascular events and therefore reduced safety of cardiovascular trials. As such, the industry has increasingly acknowledged the value of digital devices and other methods for remote data capture.

Independent event adjudication has the power to enhance the scientific validity of cardiovascular trials by allowing consistent assessment of cardiovascular events and employing standardized definitions across trial sites. The ability to virtualize processes is study specific and the experience gained during the pandemic will have a lasting effect on future cardiovascular trial design and conduct.

In this webinar, our expert panel will discuss:


  • Best practices for cardiovascular event adjudication

  • How to employ standardized definitions across trial sites

  • Recent advances in the selection and application of connected devices

  • Long term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on cardiovascular trial design

Join C. Michael Gibson, MS, MD, CEO, Baim and PERFUSE research institutes at Harvard Medical School and experts from ICON plc, Jack Martin, MD, FACC, Senior Director, Cardiovascular Therapeutics, Drug Development Services; Craig McLendon, RN, CCRN, Sr. Dir Adjudication & DMC Mgmt., Clinical Research Services; and Deirdre Albertson, Vice President, Project Management, Cardiovascular, Metabolic and Women’s Health, for the live webinar on Friday, May 21, 2021 at 11am EDT (4pm BST/UK).
