ACS CAN Silicon Valley CAN Research Forum

Clinical trials play a vital role in the journey from scientific breakthrough to bedside care, and yet, according to the Institute of Medicine, 40% of clinical trials are either ended prematurely, or are never published, due to the lack of patient enrollment.   Please join us for a discussion about how we can collaborate to overcome the barriers that impede progress, for the sake of the many patients whose lives depend upon discovery of the next treatment.

7:00a.m. Registration and Breakfast, 7:30a.m. Program, followed by Q&A session
