Abstract:

The Future of Oncology Clinical Development — Key Insights from Industry Experts on Trends and Future Direction

Christina Vitt, Associate Practice Executive, Campbell Alliance

Oncology clinical development continues to grow more complex as a range of factors differentiate it from developing assets in other therapeutic areas. The significant unmet medical need is the primary reason dozens of companies focus on oncology, yet the traditional approach to clinical development utilized for other therapeutic areas is not sufficient to fully explore and define oncology assets. In recent research, senior-level management from more than a dozen organizations with an oncology focus shared their vision of how oncology clinical development will evolve in over the coming years. They also shared their insights on the changing needs, expectations and opportunities that are on the horizon. Specific areas addressed include:

  • The changing processes for managing oncology development portfolios and the evolving structures of clinical development organizations
  • New approaches to outsourcing and resource allocation
  • Trends in the geographic distribution of both studies and staff
  • New study techniques being employed by industry executives
