Abstract :

The development of novel molecularly targeted cancer therapeutics remains slow and expensive with many late-stage failures. There is an urgent need to accelerate this process by improving early clinical anticancer drug evaluation through modern and rational trial designs that incorporate predictive, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, pharmacogenomic and intermediate end- point biomarkers. In this talk, I will discuss current approaches and propose strategies, including novel technologies & platform advances in personalized medicine that will potentially maximize benefit to patients and expedite the regulatory approvals of new anticancer drugs.
