HiRO is pleased to announce our participation in COG Europe 2026, taking place November 4-5, 2026, in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Hosted at the Novotel Amsterdam City, COG Europe brings together biopharma leaders, regulators, patient groups, and clinical research service providers to discuss key challenges and opportunities shaping the European clinical trial landscape.
Attendees can visit the HiRO team at Booth #26 to discuss clinical development strategies, regulatory planning, and global trial execution across a broad range of therapeutic areas.
Featured Presentation: Navigating CTIS: Planning Ahead for Submission Success
As part of the conference agenda, Dr. Saqib Mir will present:
Navigating CTIS: Planning Ahead for Submission Success
November 4, 2026 | 9:00 AM
The implementation of the Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS) and the EU Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR) has transformed how clinical trials are submitted and managed across Europe.
While the framework offers greater transparency and harmonization across the EU, successful submissions require strategic planning and cross-functional alignment long before an application is uploaded.
Drawing on practical industry experience, Dr. Mir’s session will explore how early regulatory planning, cross-functional alignment, and a clear understanding of CTIS requirements can help sponsors navigate the submission process more effectively. Key topics will include:
- Early study planning and regulatory strategy
- Member State selection and coordination considerations
- Part I and Part II dossier readiness
- Submission alignment across stakeholders
- Managing regulatory questions and communications
- Reducing avoidable delays during study start-up
Attendees will gain actionable insights into how proactive planning can support smoother submissions, accelerate study activation timelines, and ultimately help bring clinical research opportunities to patients sooner.
