RALEIGH, N.C., June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Campbell Alliance, the leading management consulting firm specializing in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, today announced that Gary Tyson, Senior Vice President of Campbell’s Clinical Development practice, will present a workshop at the 43rd Drug Information Association (DIA) Annual Meeting to be held June 17-21, 2007 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
Mr. Tyson’s workshop, titled “Becoming a Sponsor of Choice for Clinical Investigators,” will be conducted on Wednesday, June 20 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The workshop, which is part of the Clinical Trial Management/Clinical Supplies track, will discuss key factors driving investigators’ choices of clinical study sponsors. It will also explore tactics for identifying a pharmaceutical or biotech company’s strengths and weaknesses with respect to conducting clinical trials and developing a strategy for improving a company’s relationship with the study sites and investigators it values most.
“With so many clinical trials competing for the same patients, it’s critical that a pharmaceutical company do everything it can to be that study sponsor that sites prefer to work with-the sponsor of choice,” Mr. Tyson explained. “Companies that understand what’s behind an investigator’s or study site’s decision to work with a particular sponsor will gain a clear advantage,” he continued.
Mr. Tyson leads Campbell Alliance’s Clinical Development practice, which provides a range of operational improvement services to clinical development organizations within pharmaceutical and biotech companies and contract research organizations. Mr. Tyson is a veteran of numerous electronic data capture-related initiatives, and he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in process improvement, organizational design, and clinical development.
