Drug development has been facing both opportunities and challenges. On one hand, a variety of discovery technologies have helped drive growth in the drug development pipeline. On the other hand, the biopharmaceutical industry has had to manage a challenging operating environment characterized by increasing costs, inefficient and lengthy cycle times, and high levels of risk, uncertainty, and complexity. More efficient and innovative study designs have the great potential of improving success rates and optimizing clinical trial performance and data quality.
This session will review and discuss opportunities for efficient and innovative study designs with some real world examples in the areas of effective and efficient phase 2 study design, leveraging natural history data for rare diseases drug development, and use of innovative Bayesian designs for non-inferiority studies.
Learning Objective : Evaluate case studies in efficient and innovative study designs; Discuss challenges and opportunities in innovative designs and analyses.
