What to expect

The day is designed around the questions clinical development teams face in practice.

Choose the sessions most relevant to you, take a behind-the-scenes tour of our Clinical Pharmacology Unit and discuss your own development challenges directly with specialists.

Topics include:

• Accelerating early development: explore approaches to study design and execution that support the path from first-in-human studies to early proof-of-concept and beyond, while reducing uncertainty
• Efficient data and decision-making: see how developments in biometrics, including AI-supported study build and scalable delivery models, can reduce manual work and support growing clinical programs
• Managing risk and safety: discuss safety monitoring in Human Viral Challenge Studies and how pharmacovigilance strategies can evolve as a clinical pipeline grows
• Clinical research in Belgium: hear perspectives on Belgium's study start-up environment and the factors that help sponsors move efficiently from regulatory approval into study execution. Keynote by the Belgian Competent Authority (FAHMP)
