TORONTO, Oct. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Xtalks is proud to announce its role as an official Media Partner for the upcoming Pan-Canadian Framework to Promote Clinical Research in Canada Summit, hosted by the Clinical Research Association of Canada (CRAC) on October 15, 2025, at Maple Banquet Hall, 1325 Eglinton Ave E, Mississauga, Ontario.

The Summit will bring together representatives from provincial organizations, Health Canada, patient advocacy organizations and international experts to discuss building a unified framework to promote and attract clinical trials in Canada.

With healthcare managed at the provincial and territorial level, Canada has made important strides in building regional strengths, yet a more unified national approach is needed to enhance the country's global competitiveness as a destination for clinical trials. The Summit will explore solutions that foster collaboration across provinces while drawing on lessons from global leaders, including the United Kingdom and Australia.

"Canada needs a coordinated Pan-Canadian approach to attract clinical trials. By doing so, we can accelerate patient access to innovative treatments while driving economic growth through job creation and increased investment in the life sciences sector," said Sabrina Ramkellawan, President and Board Director, Clinical Research Association of Canada.

"We at CRAC are really excited to be hosting such an important event to start the dialogue on real solutions to bring more clinical trials to Canada. We hope to initiate the collaboration required to make this a reality, leading to real change across Canada," said Kim McDonald-Taylor, Board Director & Toronto Chairperson, Clinical Research Association of Canada.

The Summit agenda features key discussions on regulatory harmonization, patient engagement, workforce development, AI and real-world evidence (RWE) opportunity in Canada and the expansion of research sites and collaborations.

Attendees will also engage through live surveys, interactive sessions and networking opportunities designed to shape actionable solutions for Canada's clinical research future.

"I am excited that Xtalks is partnering with CRAC as the official Media Partner for this milestone event. Supporting coverage of the Summit reflects our commitment to amplifying the conversations that will help shape the future of clinical research in Canada and beyond," said Vera Kovacevic, Editor-in-Chief, Xtalks.
