Join this webinar series to discover how AI enhances diagnostic accuracy and provides prognostic insights and treatment assessment as well as understand the balance between AI-driven innovation and safeguarding patient privacy and data integrity in oncology clinical trials. Participants will learn how electronic clinical outcome assessment (eCOA) equivalence studies have paved the way for accessibility functionality testing for oncology trials, discover accessibility features for scientific assessment on the potential impact on data integrity and hear about future endeavors to make accessibility a reality for trial participants. The series will help viewers understand the unique aspects of assessing cardiac safety within an oncology development program, improve awareness of electrocardiogram (ECG) best practices, comprehend the importance of objective safety measurements with patient-reported outcomes and learn to enable early detection using wearable sensor technology to proactively monitor patients.

The new framework of globally applicable standards for clinical trial data, effective from September 9, 2023. All companies now need to implement the EMA guideline on computerised systems and electronic data in clinical trials if the data will be used to support a marketing authorization in the European Union (EU). Effective on September 9, 2023, the guideline sets forth consolidated requirements on the use of computerized systems, the collection and use of electronic data and introduces a new framework of standards to be upheld by sponsors, investigators and their service providers globally. The new guideline impacts sponsors, investigators and service providers involved in running clinical trials. Join this ICON webinar to gain the knowledge required to achieve compliance with the new regulatory regime, with a strong focus on data accuracy, security and operational efficiency of the trial.

Join us for an informative webinar as we delve into the world of psychedelic trials and the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding these transformative therapies. Explore the promising efficacy of psychedelics like psilocybin, MDMA, 5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine, and ibogaine in treating conditions such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, and substance use disorder. During this webinar, we will examine the diverse mechanisms of action underlying these psychedelic compounds, discuss the important results observed in clinical trials, highlight the pivotal role of organizations like MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) in shaping the regulatory landscape for psychedelic medicines, explore the pipeline of next-generation psychedelic medicines, and gain insights into the recent guidance issued by the US FDA and explore the regulatory pathways for the clinical study and approval of psychedelics in both Australia and the United States.

“How Legendary Changemakers Avoid Burnout? And What You Can Do to Preserve your Energy and Create your Aspired Social Impact” Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. In today's volatile world, we're witnessing historic levels of anxiety as a result of war in three continents: Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, climate catastrophes, and an unprecedented level of humanitarian crisis. Jennifer Brown writes her in article, “How Advocates for Inclusion Keep from Burning Out,” that as empathetic allies, advocates for inclusion are particularly susceptible to increased levels of anxiety as they experience the pressure to outperform themselves while representing marginalized identities and take in other people’s experiences. Advocates need to strategize their advocacy energy to prevent burnout and a systematic process to overcome burnout once identified. In this webinar, the Artist Changemaker, Shumaila Hemani, Ph.D. will offer three essential strategies to overcome burnout based on her upcoming online course: Resurgence: The Deep Listening Path to Recovering from Advocacy Burnout. Combining deep listening practices with mindfulness meditation practice and wellness, Hemani will propose we shift our approach from considering burnout as an individual-centric issue to addressing it as a systemic issue that is a by-product of the hustle culture and needs systems thinking to build resources and support within our social ecology. The participants will receive free resources, including an ebook and audio meditation to support their recovery. This webinar is relevant for any advocate who has experienced burnout during their advocacy journey.
