Gastroenterology and Liver

Clinical Trials & Translational Research

Clinical trials and translational research are critical for advancing understanding and treatment of gastrointestinal and liver disorders. This session focuses on design, methodology, and outcomes of recent clinical trials across GI and hepatology specialties. Participants will learn about innovative trial designs, patient recruitment strategies, biomarker utilization, and ethical considerations in human research. The track emphasizes the importance of translating laboratory discoveries into clinical applications that improve patient care.

In addition, the session highlights case studies demonstrating successful bench-to-bedside translation in areas such as liver fibrosis, IBD, GI cancers, and metabolic liver disease. Emerging therapies, precision medicine approaches, and multicenter collaborations will be discussed to illustrate how research informs clinical practice. Attendees will gain insight into regulatory requirements, trial optimization, and strategies for generating high-quality evidence, fostering opportunities for collaboration and future research submissions.
