Discover an informative webinar that will provide profound insights into leveraging deep therapeutic expertise in oncology, alongside a clinical development paradigm that prioritizes speed, agility and strategic collaboration, to accelerate the drug development process.
This webinar will illuminate the pathway to expediting the unique drug development journey by integrating contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), clinical trial supplies and contract research organization (CRO) solutions through a singular partnership. A key highlight will be the presentation of groundbreaking research from the Tufts University Center for the Study of Drug Development.
This research scrutinized oncology development by modality and clinical phase in the context of a model of net financial gain to estimate the increase in expected net present value (eNPV) and a return on investment (ROI) achievable through the acceleration of drug development timelines via integrated CDMO, clinical trial supplies and CRO services.
There will be a panel discussion that will provide actionable insights into an integrated approach, demonstrating how this strategy can amplify value across all phases of development. The expert speakers will share their perspectives on current opportunities within oncology research and drug development. They will discuss how to harness the synergies between drug development, manufacturing and clinical trial strategy and execution to propel these programs.
This webinar will empower attendees to consider the potential of an accelerated clinical development approach. Do not miss this opportunity to achieve expedited market entry for oncology therapies.
Register for this webinar today to gain invaluable insights into accelerating oncology drug development through integrated CDMO, clinical trial supplies and CRO partnerships.
