ClinPhone announces the schedule for its upcoming webinar series.
ClinPhone's autumn webinar will be delivered twice, on Friday 23 and Tuesday 27 September 2005, and is entitled 'Connect: integrating eClinical applications'.
The session will address major issues such as industry trends in integration and key considerations necessary for managing trials which seamlessly connect disparate technologies.
The winter webinar series is scheduled for Monday 12 and Tuesday 13 December 2005 and will cover the topic 'Innovative ePRO trials and the FDA: the age of electronic patient diaries'.
This webinar will address aspects such as the FDA's position on eSource, site ownership of patient data and psychometric validation of instruments for collecting patient-reported outcomes.
ClinPhone's educational webinars are free to any industry professional with interest in the given topic.
Registration is quick and easy via the company's website.
ClinPhone holds non-commercial webinar events at regular intervals throughout the year as a service to the biopharmaceutical industry to help raise awareness of the advantages of using electronic solutions in the management and conduct of today's clinical trials.
Registration numbers for ClinPhone's most recent online events have been particularly high, it says, as it has gained recognition as a company that is dedicated to helping the biopharmaceutical industry advance in the use of clinical technologies.
The interactive webinars are conducted by a variety of industry experts and provide participants with opportunities to ask questions directly.
Further, most of the webcasts have featured sponsor case studies that illustrate best practices.
Previous topics have reached beyond technologies and have included detailed discussions on meeting regulatory challenges, implementing new technologies and successful trial design.
Bill Byrom, product strategy director at ClinPhone, comments: "The high attendance for our webinars shows an industry awareness of the challenges pharmaceutical companies face in randomisation, supplies management and electronic patient-reported outcomes.
"It is encouraging to see that they are seeking quality information on these topics, including the latest regulatory information.
"Our webinars help our colleagues in the biopharmaceutical industry to realise that there are better, more efficient ways to design and manage trials."
