Clinical Trials Conference 2024

8^th Patient-Centered Approach to Clinical Trials Conference 2024 : How Are We Advancing Cancer Clinical Trials in Canada?

This seminal pan-cancer conference continues to inform clinical trial networks, researchers, industry, and academic trial sponsors, HTA agencies, Health Canada, and national and international cancer patient groups to mention a few. Also, we highlight the work we do through our patient centered approach to cancer clinical trials working group (PACT).

Our objectives for this year’s Conference include the following:

• To showcase Canada as fertile ground for Clinical Trials
• To educate and update on the good work and investments underway that will accelerate the clinical trial landscape in Canada over the next 2 to 3 years
• To discuss where we are winning/advancing in Canada and where/what are the key barriers that must be addressed
