Virtual Panel Discussion.
Experts’ Perspectives on the Placebo Response in Clinical Trials
The placebo response has plagued drug development for decades. How can we improve trial success rates and get medicines to patients faster? These key opinion leaders weigh in.
In this panel, experts share their perspectives from real-world trials on both classical and new approaches to manage the placebo response. Attendees will also receive tips on how sponsors or principal investigators can develop optimal strategies to manage the complexity of the placebo response.
