Optimizing Clinical Development With Adaptive Trial Designs
Session Chair(s)
Stanley McDermott, RPh
Consultant
Biopharmaceutical Development & Clinical Research, United States
Early-phase adaptive clinical trials combine multiple clinical objectives into one study to deliver high-quality data and substantial time and cost savings compared to a traditional approach involving several single-purpose studies. A biopharmaceutical developer needs to design a clinical strategy from product inception to regulatory approval that is tailored to meet clinical and regulatory expectations and is time- and cost-effective. This roadmap must detail the strategies for general clinical development, study design and operational execution and focus on a target product profile (TPP) that provides the product development team with valuable and measurable deliverables as well as the objectives for and guidance on the clinical development plan. The importance of having an in-depth understanding of adaptive clinical trial design and logistics is critical.
This interactive session will provide the framework for scientifically robust and efficient early-phase clinical drug development. Working with cross-functional teams and developing appropriate operational infrastructure for all stakeholders, including drug developers, clinical research organizations (CROs) and investigator sites, will also be highlighted.
Learning Objective : Identify strategies to reduce timelines and reduce unnecessary human exposure while increasing potential for successful outcomes; Describe how to leverage accruing data to constantly fine tune the clinical trial and decision making; Identify multiple clinical objectives by thoughtful planning and management to be efficient and cost effective.
