Dear Colleague,
In the past few years, pharma has made unprecedented moves as an industry to team up
and collaborate with private, public, and government organizations in an effort to solve
common clinical research challenges that never would have been a possibility a decade ago.
Eliminating inefficiencies and standardizing processes, criteria, and templates, all while
reducing the patient’s burden of participating in clinical trials, are initiatives actively being
investigated across the industry and these efforts are beginning to pay-off with shortened
timelines and lower costs.
The World Congress Summit on Accelerating Clinical Trials through Multi-Stakeholder
Collaborations offers the clinical research community a forum to share their work and an
opportunity to build on collective knowledge and experiences in order to create safer, more
efficient clinical trials. With so many initiatives underway, it can be easy to duplicate efforts
and dilute the impact of change. Compare notes, join the discussion, and align your strategies
with these leading clinical research initiatives:
•	 Alliance for Clinical Research Excellence and Safety (ACRES)
•	 Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation (CISCRP)
•	 Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative (CTTI)
•	 Education Network to Advance Cancer Clinical Trials (ENACCT)
•	FasterCures
•	 Multi-Regional Clinical Trials Center (MRCT)
•	Orion Bionetworks
•	 Project Data Sphere
•	 The Critical Path Institute
•	 TransCelerate BioPharma
If you are open to adopting new practices and committed to improving the clinical trial process,
you don’t want to miss this Summit. I look forward to meeting you on September 22-23 in
Princeton, New Jersey.
Sincerely,
Nancy Felsheim

DAY ONE – Monday, September 22, 2014 (continued)
5:00 pm –
5:45 pm
ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION: Consortium Sandbox — Measure the Impact of a Consortium
to Provide Maximum Value to Stakeholders
Mark Lim will share FasterCures’ recent global findings on a research-by-consortium study that highlights trends from 369 multi-stakeholder consortia. One
of the greatest challenges of any consortium is to determine if it’s on-track to realize its value proposition. Very few consortia have implemented some level
of value assessment and one of the main reasons is that expectations are different depending on the specific stakeholder. This session will offer attendees
an opportunity to explore and discuss ways that consortia can demonstrate and communicate the value of their partnership models in a small group,
interactive format. Questions to be discussed:
•	Who are the stakeholders in a consortium? (government, industry, patients) What are each stakeholder’s expectation (what do they want to achieve
through their participation/contribution)?
•	How can a consortium demonstrate that they are on-track for meeting each stakeholder’s ROI? What should they measure? How should they report?
•	What are the challenges for making these types of measurements?

    DAY ONE –Monday, September 22, 2014 (continued) 5:00 pm – 5:45 pm ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION: Consortium Sandbox — Measure the Impact of a Consortium to Provide Maximum Value to Stakeholders Mark Lim will share FasterCures’ recent global findings on a research-by-consortium study that highlights trends from 369 multi-stakeholder consortia. One of the greatest challenges of any consortium is to determine if it’s on-track to realize its value proposition. Very few consortia have implemented some level of value assessment and one of the main reasons is that expectations are different depending on the specific stakeholder. This session will offer attendees an opportunity to explore and discuss ways that consortia can demonstrate and communicate the value of their partnership models in a small group, interactive format. Questions to be discussed: • Who are the stakeholders in a consortium? (government, industry, patients) What are each stakeholder’s expectation (what do they want to achieve through their participation/contribution)? • How can a consortium demonstrate that they are on-track for meeting each stakeholder’s ROI? What should they measure? How should they report? • What are the challenges for making these types of measurements? Roundtable Facilitators include: Mark D. Lim Associate Director, Medical Research Innovation FasterCures 5:45 pm – 6:45 pm Cocktail and Networking Reception DAY t wo – T u esday, S e p t em b e r 23, 20 1 4 7:30 am – 8:30 am Morning Coffee 8:30 am – 8:45 am Chairperson’s Welcome and Review of Day One 8:45 am – 9:45 am Lessons Learned from Pilot Studies on Risk-Based Monitoring Methodology to Ensure Data Quality • Insight into the FDA guidance on clinical trial oversight and its implications from a former FDA official • Utilize Functional Service Providers (FSP) for implementing RBM with a corresponding reduction in queries and cycle time • Discuss a TransCelerate approach to RBM methodology and one of the member’s views on two of the eight implementation pilots Ann Meeker-O’Connell Senior Director, QA Clinical Strategy Team Lead Janssen Sheryl Jacobs Vice President, Global Study Operations Amgen Reb Tayyabkhan Executive Director, Global Development Operations, Bristol-Myers Squibb Operations Committee Member and Work Stream Lead for Risk-Based Monitoring TransCelerate BioPharma 9:45 am – 10:30 am A Model to Create, Share, and Re-Use Structured Content throughout the Clinical Trial Life Cycle — The Sanofi-TransCelerate Collaboration • Improve the quality of clinical trial documentation • Speed the production of documentation through automation • Implement standards to facilitate re-use throughout the clinical trial life cycle for asthma and diabetes Joan Affleck Associate Vice President, Clinical Sciences and Operations Sanofi 10:30 am – 11:00 am Networking and Refreshment Break 11:00 am – 11:45 am Collaborative Efforts to Improve Cancer Clinical Trial Accrual for Under-Represented Populations • Increasing clinical trial participation among minority populations can lead to faster drug development and address disparities in care • Identify and remove accrual barriers related to ineffective pre-screening to enhance accrual (ENACCT National Cancer Clinical Trials Pilot Breakthrough Collaborative) • Implement new pre-screening/screening organizational processes prior to physician consultation Margo Michaels, MPH Principal, Health Access & Action Consulting; Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor Boston University School of Public Health; Former Executive Director Education Network to Advance Cancer Clinical Trials (ENACCT) Karen Brooks Senior Director, Therapeutic Area Lead, Oncology and Early Phase Clinical Operations, Development Operations, Pfizer To register, please visit www.worldcongress.comCollaboration • Phone: 800-767-9499 • Fax: 781-939-2543 • Email: wcreg@worldcongress.comTo register, please visit www.worldcongress.comCollaboration • Phone: 800-767-9499 • Fax: 781-939-2543 • Email: wcreg@worldcongress.com
