Emerging biopharmaceutical companies constitute one of the true hubs of innovation in today’s drug development ecosystem. However, most operate under constrained resources in terms of management bandwidth and available capital. In addition, many companies may have only one asset in clinical development. Therefore, maximizing results in development is essential to continued success.
While emerging biopharmas have deep scientific expertise around a specific therapeutic area or indication, in-house clinical trial experience can be limited. This webinar is intended to help emerging biopharma companies explore some of the key steps they can take to accelerate timelines and improve their probability of successfully demonstrating value. Our experienced panelists will address how to:
- Design your trials, from the very start, with the end in mind to gather the necessary evidence
- Understand your product’s realistic target profile and patient populations earlier in the development process
- Leverage genetic profiling to better identify and access the right patients · accelerate critical study start-up activities to improve overall timelines
- Utilize tailored risk-based monitoring approaches to maximize efficiency
- Explore the advantages of using adaptive trial design
- Partner with experts more effectively to take greater advantage of multiple data sources, analytics and global relationships
