Diabetes & Obesity Podcasts: Drivers of Type II Diabetes

In the SmartfIRE study, the Thermocool Smarttouch SF catheter showed an 86.9% effectiveness rate among patients treated with high adherence to recommended ablation parameters.

In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.

Phase III SOUL trial shows daily oral semaglutide lowers the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or chronic kidney disease, with benefits consistent with injectable semaglutide and other GLP-1 receptor agonists.
