Beyond the Protocol: Empowering Clinical Research Nurses to Navigate the Research Landscape

As the landscape of clinical research evolves with advancements in gene therapy and decentralized trials (DCTs), clinical research nurses (CRNs) face gaps in specialized knowledge, ethics, and operations. This symposium will cover key aspects of gene therapy trials and DCTs, including regulatory and ethical considerations, emerging technologies, and practical strategies to navigate these challenges.

At the end of this activity the learners will be able to:

1. Discuss the latest advancements in gene therapy trials.

2. Identify regulatory and ethical considerations related to DCTs and gene therapy trials.

3. Describe emerging technologies and policies governing gene therapy trials and DC. Annual
