The Multi-Regional Clinical Trials Center at Harvard, NPS Pharma, and Bayer Healthcare lead discussions on the development of patient-centric global protocols as well as how to work with patient advocacy groups and incorporate investigator and patient feedback into study designs on September 10th, 2014 at the Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston, MA.
