This webinar discusses the strategic contributions of a contract research organization as a partner to support the clinical development process.
Between the concept of a novel chemical, biological, or advanced therapeutic medicinal product and the commercial debut of a therapeutic entity fall innumerable business decisions. Will a developer pursue an idea to fruition and seek intermittent funding for each aspect of discovery, development, manufacturing, and commercialization? Or will a sponsor opt to bring development to one of several inflection points, at which options for further development — including out-licensing, portfolio pruning, or modifications in program timelines — become viable as an alternative stratagem? Many factors play a role in the decisions, but an awareness of the strategic ramifications of clinical and regulatory insights designed to “de-risk” investment decisions is key to ensuring optimal engagement with investors, partners, and other entities interested in financially supporting, acquiring, or partnering. Indeed, lead identification and candidate optimization including choice of therapeutic target disproportionally influence the earliest stage development programs for small to midsize pharmaceutical companies, representing one of the more significant inflection points in the discovery to development transition.

The ability of a potential partner to support the clinical development process — either through a portfolio review (in the case of platform technology) or the development of a comprehensive clinical development plan — becomes a differentiator in the ability to prosecute clinical development. Strategic in addition to transactional relationships extending through discovery and development facilitate the development and commercial success of advanced technologies targeting increasingly nuanced patient populations. An ability to engage strategically, to prudently choose potential clinical indications and to create highly functional integrated project teams provides an affirmation of the often-stated adage in the financial/development community, “talent gets picked up quickly”.

What You Will Learn
- Integrated project teams with complementary vision and services amplify organizational competency and highlight the importance of investing in the management of a program as much as in the drug
- One asset with multiple potential indications can be both a blessing and a liability in the absence of target segmentation and a critical review extending beyond product rationale
- A clinical development plan for each indication is a living business document, a multivariate instrument informing the timing and the extent of investment decisions, as it incorporates regulatory, clinical and commercial solutions providing maximal flexibility
