King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, KFSHRC prepares for its annual Clinical Trials Transformation Conference, a two-day event themed Ecosystem Harmony. The conference aims to refine its infrastructure and unveil a strategic roadmap in harmony with the Saudi Arabia’s national ambitions and priorities in research, development, and innovation.
The event aims to establish a unified platform involving regulatory authorities, the medical research community, individual researchers, collaborative research partners, and relevant industries at both domestic and international levels. The primary focus is developing a comprehensive system for clinical trials, emphasizing studies centred around human well-being. Notably, the Saudi Food and Drug Authority, SFDA, Saudi Commission for Health Specialties, SCFHS, and Saudi National Institute of Health, SNIH are key scientific partners for the conference.
The agenda features an array of panel sessions and workshops, delving into diverse themes pertinent to the development of the clinical trials landscape both in Saudi Arabia and globally. Critical discussions will revolve around deciphering the clinical trials ecosystem within the KFSHRC and the Saudi Arabia at large and forging a connection between clinical research, medical practice, and education. Moreover, the economics of clinical research and its impact on the gross domestic product will be discussed in a separate session.
The conference will venture into scientific realms closely tied to clinical research, exploring the influence of genomics research on precision medicine, the developments of gene and cellular therapies, stem cell science, regenerative medicine, gene editing techniques, and the burgeoning field of cancer immunotherapy.
The workshops highlight contemporary trends in statistical analytics pertinent to clinical research, along with strategies for the design and execution of clinical trials. This presents a prime opportunity for physicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals to bolster their acumen and practice, exchanging expertise and insights on the latest advancements in the field.
