Clinical Research: Phase 1 - Phase 4

Rethinking Data Quality Best Practices in the Era of Decentralized Clinical Trials

Pandemic-related disruptions have accelerated much-needed change in clinical operations, but this change has been accompanied by questions about data collection and data quality. In a recent survey commissioned by Oracle Health Sciences, more than 75 percent of industry respondents indicated that limitations in patients’ ability to attend on-site visits sped up their adoption of decentralized...

Alternative Designs to the Traditional 3+3 Design in Phase 1 Dose Escalation Studies, Upcoming Webinar

TORONTO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 08, 2021 Phase 1 clinical trials aim to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of a new molecule with the goal of identifying a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), often the MTD itself. Ideally, the RP2D would have adequate therapeutic effect to demonstrate preliminary signs of efficacy in Phase 2, but many...

Choose the Right FDA Program to Expedite Your Rare Oncology Trial

Rare cancers account for 27 percent of all new cancer diagnoses in the U.S. and 22 percent of all new cancer diagnoses in the EU.1 With their poorly understood natural histories, phenotypic heterogeneity, and diverse clinical manifestations, rare cancers pose challenges to drug development and represent a significant unmet need in oncology. Faced with limited treatment...

Adaptive Design Methods Offer Rapid, Seamless Transition Between Study Phases in Rare Cancer Trials

Rare cancers account for 22 percent of cancer diagnoses worldwide, yet there is no universally accepted definition for a “rare” cancer. Moreover, with the evolution of genomics and associated changes in categorizing tumors, some common cancers are now characterized into groups of rare cancers, each with a unique implication for patient management and therapy. Adaptive...

Tumor-Agnostic Treatments: A Game Changer for Rare Oncology Trials

Rare cancers account for almost a quarter of all new cancers worldwide though there is no universally adopted definition for rare cancers. In the U.S., rare cancers are defined as those with fewer than 15 cases per 100,000 per year, whereas in the EU, they are defined as six cases per 100,000 per year. Historically,...

Essential Strategies in Dermatology Clinical Trials: The Convergence of Patients, Regulations, and Study Design

Competition for patients among sponsors in the field of dermatology drug development has never been as intense as it is now — so much so that it’s becoming difficult to meet project timelines, attract and retain patients, and achieve comprehensive study results. Patients are in high demand, and making studies appealing to them — convenient,...
