From Idea to Proposal

The why behind investigator-initiated trials

Dr. Nicole Fram · Dr. William Wiley

About this session

Dr. Nicole Fram and Dr. William Wiley open the Investigator-Initiated Trials series with a conversation aimed at the practicing surgeon. Instead of walking through the mechanics of running a trial, they talk about why a surgeon would take one on in the first place, how to get a clinical question in front of a company, and what it takes to turn a question you keep running into at the clinic into a study that gets funded and published.

In this session

  • Why a busy surgeon would take on an investigator-initiated trial
  • How to get a clinical question in front of a company
  • Shaping a recurring clinical question into a study a sponsor will fund
  • Moving from an early idea to a proposal you can actually submit
