Medidata, a Dassault Systèmes company, will be leading an innovative educational workshop on how to master decentralized clinical trials (DCTs), sessions on risk-based monitoring and adaptive designs, and more as a premium sponsor of the DIA (Drug Information Association) Global Annual Meeting, June 19-23. Medidata experts will also be participating in multiple presentations and panels covering a range of innovative solutions to advance clinical trial planning, management, and operations.

“The patient focus and collaborative environment of the DIA Annual Meeting is more important than ever, as we use decentralized trials to bring opportunities to more diverse groups and focus on patient needs,” said Jackie Kent, chief customer officer at Medidata. “We’re excited to participate in multiple events with a wide array of experts and engage in discussions about the latest innovations in DCTs, clinical operations and data management.”
