Clinical trials are an essential part of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries. Recent regulatory and business climate changes have made the conduct of large, complex trials more challenging.

This symposium will provide perspectives by exploring a long, randomized clinical trial conducted by CardioMEMS at the Piedmont Heart Institute. The successful CHAMPION clinical study of CardioMEMS’s wireless, implantable pressure monitor for heart failure enrolled 550 patients nationwide and reduced by 30% heart failure hospitalization rates in patients whose treatment was guided by CardioMEMs’s device.
