The pharmaceutical industry continues to face enormous pressures from increasing payer demands, and a constantly changing regulatory landscape has forced all companies to identify processes to increase productivity and decrease attrition. However, success rates for candidate drugs moving from Phase I to market have remained relatively steady at ~7% for the last several years. There have been numerous attempts to understand the reasons for failure and many have offered suggestions that have promised to decrease attrition, but these have mostly met with marginal success.
In this webinar, our featured speakers will cover clinical attrition, discuss a number of factors associated with trial endpoint success and explore specific strategies related to effective trial amendments. For trial success, the speakers will look at several aspects of trial design that are associated with increased likelihood of trial endpoint success, including the application of specific types of biomarkers in different phases and therapeutic areas.
The speakers will also discuss how protocol amendments are a time-consuming and costly endeavor. In this discussion, they will examine how amendments impact budget planning, patient enrollment, and increased cycle times. The speakers will also address ways to incorporate strategies to reduce the number of amendments and when amendments are required, how to make them more effective.
