The Vaccine Clinical Development Plan Webinar: Drafting a CDP is part of The Council for the Promotion of International Vaccine Cooperation (CPIVC) webinar series and features P95 speakers sharing practical guidance for sponsors and clinical leaders who need a clear, decision-ready roadmap for vaccine development. A well-structured vaccine clinical development plan (CDP) does more than describe studies. It aligns clinical questions, evidence requirements, and operational feasibility so programs can progress with fewer delays and fewer avoidable amendments.
CDP work often begins under pressure: accelerated timelines, evolving target product profiles, shifting epidemiology, and multiple stakeholder expectations. In practice, early misalignment can cascade into protocol rework, evidence gaps, and avoidable friction later in development. In this CPIVC webinar series session, P95 will share practical guidance to help teams build CDPs that remain usable as programs mature.

What You’ll Learn at the Webinar
This webinar is tailored to biotech and vaccine sponsors, clinical development teams, and cross-functional leaders who are shaping vaccine strategy and clinical evidence plans.
Topics include:
- What belongs in a CDP and how to structure it for real decision-making
- How to connect development objectives to study design choices across phases
- Practical case examples (RSV / Zoster) to illustrate CDP logic in action
- How to anticipate evidence needs that can affect later-stage plans
- Panel discussion and live Q&A with experienced vaccine development leaders
Whether you are drafting your first CDP or refining an existing plan, you will leave with a clearer approach to building CDPs that support execution and regulatory-facing documentation.
Planning with Precision: Why Early CDP Choices Shape the Entire Program
A CDP is most useful when it is built around the decisions a program must make—and when those decisions are linked to specific evidence requirements.
Common CDP gaps we see across programs include:
- Decision points that are not clearly defined (or not tied to evidence)
- Assumptions about feasibility that are not tested early (sites, populations, timelines)
- Endpoints, target populations, and safety planning that are not aligned across phases
- Cross-functional inputs arriving too late, after protocol drafting has started
In this session, we will share a practical way to reduce avoidable rework by setting CDP structure early, using realistic planning assumptions, and keeping the document “live” as the program evolves.
Why These Experts and Why Now
This session is led by P95 vaccine development experts who support clinical strategy and evidence planning across vaccine programs. We’ll share a practical CDP approach and discuss how to keep CDPs decision-ready as assumptions evolve.
- Dr Laurence De Moerlooze, Chief Medical Officer at P95, brings two decades of experience in global vaccine development, spanning regulatory strategy, clinical leadership, and program execution across GSK, Takeda, and Bavarian Nordic.
- Dr Adriana Bastidas, Head of Medical and Scientific Strategy at P95, has clinical development and vaccine safety experience across Phase 1–3 programs and regulatory-supporting activities.
This session is part of the CPIVC webinar series and features P95 speakers, alongside invited independent and industry experts.
Panel participants:
- Dr. Haiwen Tang, Independent Advisor
- Mr. Jinbo Gou, CanSino Biologics
- Ms. Jacelyn Ji, Independent Advisor (welcome/host)
- Ms. Yuan Yuan, CPIVC (closing remarks)
Who Should Attend the Vaccine Clinical Development Plan Webinar: Drafting a CDP
