For biotech companies, success can be transformational. But the path is often paved with unique challenges, including constrained budgets and limited internal resources.
For emerging biopharma companies, the path to success can be paved with significant and sometimes unforeseen challenges that may not be present for large pharma.
Combine these unique challenges in a risk-averse regulatory and financial environment – where stakeholders have an increased focus on evidence and investment viability – and it becomes essential for emerging biopharma companies to do everything they can to get it right the first time.
Quintiles experts will discuss practices that will help emerging biopharma companies design smarter trials to put their products on a more predictable path to success.
Key Topics include:
- Mitigating risk and achieving more predictable outcomes in early development– How PK/PD modeling and simulation can be used to develop scenarios that allow for more informed benefit / risk / value assessments
- Achieving optimal trial design by balancing risk, time, and cost – Combine various data sources, real-world evidence, and technology to build in predictability and prototype cost and time scenarios
- Generating predictability for stakeholders – Utilize scenario-driven strategies to make the most effective use of funds, develop more informed go/no-go decisions, and achieve a more robust proof of concept
This 45 minute presentation will be followed by a 15 minute Q&A session.
Free registration is open now – We look forward to the opportunity to share insights and discuss with your further.
