Study closeout logistics refers to the organized process of concluding a clinical trial in compliance with regulatory, ethical, and contractual requirements. During this session, concise guidance will be provided on when to close a study and what steps need to be taken. We will discuss what procedures can take place after closure and what cannot, as well as rules and regulations that need to be followed before and after closing. This session will focus specifically on investigator-initiated trials.

Our aim is to equip research staff with guidance on the common challenges faced by research teams during clinical studies. Presenters will offer valuable strategies to ensure the safe, efficient, ethical, and compliant conduct of research.
