Maryland-based CRO United BioSource Corporation (UBC), in conjunction with eClinical firm Medidata Solutions, and the adaptive trials tools and modeling company Tessella, have joined together to educate the industry on the use of adaptive clinical trials in drug development. The companies are producing a series of free webinars—six in total—that will feature expertise from industry professionals and regulatory authorities on how to overcome some of the challenges of these studies.

The first webinar, entitled “Operational Challenges and Strategic Planning,” will be held on July 11th and can be viewed online at www.enablingadaptivetrials.com. “Even with the right regulatory environment and the right technology, sponsors who are looking to execute adaptive clinical trials need to devote time to planning for this change to the clinical process,” said Michael Borkowski, general manager of clinical technologies at UBC.
