Hi, I’m Arshad M. Khanani, MD, Clinical Trials at the Summit (CTS) founder and meeting cochair for CTS 2026.

I'm really excited about CTS 2026, which is happening on June 12 and 13 in Las Vegas, Nevada, this year. Our agenda is packed, with 139 program participants on the podium, with approximately 90 presentations, including first-time results from phase 2 and phase 3 trials. In addition, we have 12 engaging panels—from artificial intelligence in retinal clinical trials to investment and Wall Street outlook for retinal therapeutics. We also have 3 fireside chats and a keynote lecture from Wiley A. Chambers, MD.

We also have 3 prestigious awards, and these awards are the ones we give out every year: Summit of Excellence for industry and physician, and Ascent to Excellence for an up-and-coming clinical trialist. And then we end with an exciting video talent contest, where all the attendees share their creativity with us about why they’re excited about CTS.

I'm really looking forward to seeing all friends and colleagues at this invited meeting. If you want to attend the meeting, please go to the website (www.ctsretina.org). Hopefully, I'll see you there. Thank you. RP
