Modern pharmaceutical development is expensive, time consuming, risky and has a very high attrition rate. However, historically, governmental regulation used to be far more lax.
The presentation will discuss the unique aspects of pharmaceutical development while emphasizing that it is critical at all development stages to keep the end goal in mind. The development process itself is rarely linear. Factors that may increase the overall risk of a program will be discussed with examples from successful and unsuccessful programs that have dealt with these issues. Finally, the modalities by which a CRO can offer support to de-risk the overall development program will be discussed.
