Bridging the Gap Between Discovery and Delivery: How Medical Affairs and Clinical Development Can Co-Author Success from Day One

Session details:

Medical Affairs and Clinical Development often operate on parallel tracks—but the future belongs to teams that can integrate early, align on purpose, and build with the end in mind. This session explores how Medical Affairs can influence protocol design, elevate patient perspectives, and enhance trial outcomes without overstepping into Clinical’s territory. The conversation will get candid about ownership, collaboration, and creating mutual value across the development continuum. 

• Discuss how early Medical Affairs involvement can shape smarter, more patient-centered trial design and evidence strategies.
• Learn how to bridge communication gaps between Clinical Development and Medical Affairs to drive data flow, clarity, and shared objectives.
• Hear real examples of cross-functional partnerships that accelerate insights, improved trial outcomes, and built trust between scientific teams.
