About the Knowledge Forum
Are you seeking meaningful scientific innovation to support quality data for your schizophrenia trial?
Watch this special Knowledge Forum to gain scientific perspectives from pioneers in the Central Nervous System trial world and experts in clinical endpoint solutions:
In a decentralizing, peri-pandemic trial world, schizophrenia research has continued, despite our industry’s mounting challenges: resource constraints, an overabundance of technology, greater data variability, and increased protocol complexity (among many others). So how are sponsors balancing the need to innovate while supporting the data quality of their schizophrenia trials?
This Knowledge Forum features leading schizophrenia scale authors and assessment experts, Dr. Bill Horan, Dr. Brian Kirkpatrick, Dr. Luca Pani, and Dr. Mark Opler, as they share:
- The validity and value of the Virtual Reality Functional Capacity Assessment Tool (VRFCAT), the Brief Negative Symptoms Scale (BNSS), the Clinical Assessment Interview for Negative Symptoms (CAINS), and the PANSS in schizophrenia research.
- The future of hybrid studies and the regulatory implications.
- Foundational clinical endpoint decisions: how these innovations have helped guide sponsors with schizophrenia portfolios.
