Our clinical trials transformation experts join hundreds of clinical innovation leaders to modernize clinical research at the DPHARM 2026 conference.
This conference marks a pivotal time for the industry, when high costs, lengthy timelines, and complex regulatory environments are contrasted with innovative technologies, increased information and data, and growing patient engagement in trials.
Join us at this event to discuss overcoming clinical trial challenges with innovative, future-focused solutions that streamline processes and enhance outcomes.
From instrument to symphony: Making technology sing in clinical development
Tuesday 15 September 2026, 12:05pm-12:15pm (EDT)
As technology transforms every stage of clinical development, many organisations are still wrestling with a fundamental challenge: how to turn technology investments into measurable business value. In this DPHARM session, Naveed Panjwani, Partner at PA Consulting, will share practical lessons from real-world transformation programmes and explore what separates successful technology adoption from costly underperformance.
Attendees will learn why technology alone is rarely enough to deliver lasting impact, and how operating models, processes and decision-making must evolve alongside new digital capabilities. Through practical examples, Naveed will highlight approaches for embedding technology-enabled ways of working, accelerating timelines and unlocking greater value across clinical development programmes.
Streamlining clinical data flow from study design to submission: Leveraging ICH M11 and clinical data standards
Wednesday 16 September 2026, 2:45pm-3:20pm (EDT)
As the industry looks to accelerate study delivery and improve data quality, attention is turning to how clinical data flows across the development lifecycle. In this DPHARM panel discussion, Charlie Paterson, Partner at PA Consulting, joins industry leaders to explore how ICH M11 and clinical data standards can create a more connected path from protocol design through study execution and regulatory submission.
The panel will discuss how structured protocols can improve alignment, traceability and reuse of clinical data, helping reduce manual effort and streamline delivery. Attendees will gain practical insights into the opportunities, challenges and lessons learned from operationalising structured protocol content across teams, processes and technology environments.
