Dear Colleague, Inspections can occur at any time and you need to be ready to act. The consequences of a failed inspection can be dire including hefty fines, lost jobs and waning credibility for a project. Inspection readiness is not just a one time event. In fact, the inspection readiness process is driven by people who excel at thinking ahead and take into account the constantly evolving variables of clinical research; Including new staff, new sites and new vendors. Thinking about problems that could arise during an inspection is the key to maintaining continuous compliance at clinical trial sites and ensuring that all systems are a go. The 3rd Clinical Trials Inspection Readiness Summit presents life science industry professionals sharing case studies of how to put into place proactive measures to reduce the risk of a failed inspection. Effective clinical research documentation, FDA submissions, TMF processes and vendor management are critical to audit preparation. The professionals we bring together are the thought leaders who are elevating inspection readiness to a higher plane. Additionally this summit will provide you with a space not only to learn, but also to network and bring your top of mind challenges directly to former inspectors and leaders in this space. 13% 7% 15% 15% 10% 5% 15% Attendee Profile: 50% 70% Clinical operations Compliance Quality R&D Other Company Profile: Pharma/ Biotech/ Medical Device CRO Technology Vendor Consultant This years Summit Will Feature Six Interactive Case Study Presentations on Ways to: Identify what an Inspector is Looking For During an Audit Implement Inspection Readiness at a Sponsor Company Enhance the Sponsor and CRO Communication and inspection preparedness Prepare for an Inspection from the EMA Implement etmf in Large Scale Studies Streamline Inspection Readiness Through Airtight Written SOP s and Team Training I look forward to meeting you in Philadelphia this August!
