Drug development in oncology in the era of precision medicine
08:30am – 09:30am (CET), 19th NOVEMBER, 2020
IDDI is pleased to invite you to an exclusive breakfast webinar discussing drug development in oncology, enhanced by the presence of Christophe Le Tourneau, MD, PhD as Keynote Speaker.
Enjoy your morning coffee and start your day with an insightful presentation with Christophe Le Tourneau, one of the most recognized key opinion leaders in Oncology.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- A better knowledge of cancer biology that has led to a molecular segmentation of cancer
- New clinical trial designs that have been set up in order to overcome the challenge of small molecularly-defined patient populations: these trials include basket trials (histologic stratification) and umbrella trials (molecular stratification), but also trials that mix tumor types, targets and drugs that only assess the efficiency of the treatment algorithm used to allocate drugs to patients
- Challenges of these designs will be discussed, as well as perspectives on how to speed up drug development in the era of precision medicine
