The goal is to create a platform for developing standards in these important areas of clinical research.
Benchmarking Advisory Board Management At Large Pharmaceutical And Medical De...Best Practices
Pharmaceutical advisory boards provide strategic inputs and guidance to organizations on various business aspects. However, successful advisory board management requires optimum investment in resources and operations. To maximize the return on investment it is important for pharmaceutical and medical device professionals to ensure that the quality of meetings and dialogue with advisory boards is excellent.
This research from Best Practices, LLC is designed for pharmaceutical and biotech executives seeking ways to best utilize the knowledge of advisory boards. Research findings provide benchmarks on the appropriate structure for various types of advisory boards, selection of advisory board participants, advisory board operational and resource benchmarks.

Workshop Objective:
As research studies continue to go global it becomes
critical to understand how to initiate, maintain and
execute a global trial. This workshop takes a deep dive
into strategies for collaborating with affiliate offices to
optimize the effectiveness of globalized research.
Key Questions to Be Addressed:
• How do we make global decisions when key
decisions including FMV and budgeting are
left to the discretion of the affiliate office?
• What are best practices for ensuring foreign
investigators adhere to internal and external
reporting and transparency requirements?
• How can strategic planning be leveraged to reach
a consensus at the local and global level on study
design and protocol.
Workshop Outline:
I. Develop Global Standards
for Research Protocols
• Understand the role of a clear SOP on IST
concept review process and approval with
buy-in from affiliates
• Create strategies to limit redundancy
at the regional level
* industry tactics for selecting a proposal
among similar competing concepts
* implement fair and transparent competition
for prospective investigators
• Discuss the role of IT in consolidating and
organizing centralized reviews with each
affiliate membership
II. Optimize Collaborations
with Affiliate Offices
• Develop strategies for working with affiliate
offices to make decisions on a global scale,
instead of on a case-by-case basis
• Understand how to manage affiliate interests
in partnering with regional investigators on
concepts that meet regional and specific data
needs (e.g. label variations and/or varying dose
schedules, HEOR, etc.)
• Discuss tactics for collaborating with affiliate
offices on building the budget and FMV
analysis on a global IIS
III. Overcome Challenges with Global
Regulatory Requirements

Workshop Objective:
Transparency regulations are continuing to evolve
and FMV models including the proper analysis for FMV
could shift under changing regulations. It is crucial
to understand how to create an FMV analysis and
understand the impact FMV values have on negotiating
with investigator sites.
Key Questions to Be Addressed:
• How is “fair market value” determined?
• Should an FMV analysis for research be done
by line item or by total budget?
• What should a company do when an
investigator disputes the FMV of an expense?
Workshop Outline:
I. Define What Is “Fair Market Value”
• Brainstorm measurable parameters for the
definition of fair that should be used in
building an FMV analysis
• Discuss what costs should be included
when creating a budget and FMV
II. Establish a Standard FMV Analysis
• Assess implications of running an FMV by line
item compared to FMV by total budget
• Discuss how the method of analysis chosen
impacts reporting practices and
transparency obligations
• Share best practices on creating a standard
FMV analysis
III. Negotiating FMV
• Analyze strategies for handling disagreements
with investigators regarding the FMV assigned
to an expense

8:15 Strategically Mitigate Risks for IISR
In the increasingly regulated life science industry,
is it increasingly difficult to support Investigator
Initiated Sponsored Research (IISR) and manage
risk effectively. Evidence generation in support
of safe and effective products has never been
more important. Regulatory bodies, healthcare
providers, payers and patients are all looking for
the latest data, good or bad to determine the
best, most cost effective therapies. This session
assesses potential risks and strategically mitigate
these risks through a well thought out plan to
optimize the performance of your IISR program.
• Identify common risks encountered while
managing IISR studies
• Discuss strategies to minimize risks and
improve performance

a platform for senior level executives within
pharma to engage in open discussion and
determine the industry’s position on what
processes should be followed in an effort to
create an industry standard.
The content for this summit is driven by the
participants, who are surveyed ahead of time
to identify one or two key areas within FMV,
transparency and reporting they want to develop
a position statement for.

Determine How to Classify
Research Studies
The definition of what exactly an IIS is and
how different research formats fit into that
classification is unclear. This session navigates
the various aspects of research studies
to determine what an IIS is and what the
boundaries of that classification are.
• Identify the boundaries of an IIS and when
it transitions into “something else”
• Outline the delegation of responsibilities
in an IIS
• Discuss strategies for determining reporting
and transparency processes
• Develop classifications for research studies
that do not fit the definition of IIS/IIR/IST

1:30 Create a Strategy to Overcome
Publication Challenges
When working with multiple authors, creating
a publication strategy can become very
challenging. This session focuses on overcoming
obstacles of developing and executing a
successful publication plan when working with
external research partners.
• Discuss what it takes to develop a
successful publication plan for IIS/IST and
cooperative groups
• Understand when the process is different for
external research partners and how to adapt
your publication plan to those differences

2:15 Breaking the Grey Zone —
Where Do We Go From Here?
As the regulations concerning Sunshine and
open payments continue to evolve with no sign
of official guidance on how these regulations
apply to research studies, understanding how
to break free of the regulatory gray zone is the
key to clinical research success. This interactive
discussion analyzes strategies to maintain study
progress during regulatory uncertainty.
• Develop strategies for effectively operating
research studies during the evolution of open
payments and global transparency laws
• Discuss industry best practices for adapting
to open payment regulations over the next
five years
