Designing Clinical Trials: Balancing Data Collection and Patient Burden

About this webinar:

To collect data for a plethora of stakeholders, CMOs can be tempted to design study protocols that increase patient burden, operational foot-print, timelines and cost by adding more measures, biomarkers and endpoints. In this webinar, panelists address how CMOs can develop a balanced strategy that takes into account the ambition to answer questions with the realities of complicated clinical trials. This is a rebroadcast from the 2025 Chief Medical Officer Summit 360°.


More specifically:

  • Prioritizing data collection strategy to answer key scientific questions while avoiding overcomplication

  • Designing trials around real patients rather than ideal patients

  • Better understanding the objectives of the study and asking the questions that achieve those objectives

  • Better partnering with patients and PIs
