December 10, 2024

Success in this diverse and rapidly evolving market hinges on overcoming many challenges including standardization, cultural differences, localization, rater identification & training, technology, data accuracy and more. In this webinar, CNS trial experts from Cogstate — including those native to the region — dove into the complexities of conducting CNS trials in APAC, focusing on the delicate balance between achieving standardized, high-quality data collection and minimizing cultural bias through consideration of local cultural-linguistic nuances. Panelists will explored the rising demand for CNS studies in APAC and key factors that drive the region’s appeal for clinical trial teams. The session will focus on addressing regional challenges in CNS endpoint assessment, rater training & monitoring, decentralized trial methodologies and operational considerations and provide practical solutions to overcome hurdles and support high quality data capture in trials with an APAC footprint. Specific case examples from Japan and China were presented. Watch this webinar to gain a deeper understanding of successfully executing CNS trials in the dynamic APAC region.
