From Patient to Partner: Transforming Clinical Trials Through Authentic Engagement

Clinical trials are at a crossroads. While decentralized approaches and digital innovations offer new opportunities, none can replace the fundamental need for trust and authentic human engagement. This talk will explore the shift from viewing patients as mere subjects to recognizing them as essential partners in research. Drawing from personal experiences as both a participant and an advocate, Allison Kalloo will highlight the missteps that drive people away, and the strategies that foster inclusion, respect, and long-term community buy-in. Attendees will gain insights into the systemic changes needed to make clinical trials more equitable, effective, and patient-centered.
