fast track to the market: manage drug developability balancing speed vs. risk of failure
Webinar - How to win the war of attrition
Presented by Roberto Dorigatti and Joshua Gillum this webinar will address:
- Selecting the right candidate: manage drug developability balancing speed vs risk of failure
- Reducing or eliminating common roadblocks: case studies
Roberto will discuss the importance of focusing on the quality of candidate drugs for increasing the probability of bringing successful drugs to the market and, on the other hand, the apparent lack of proportional investments in this critical phase of de-risking. Drugs attrition originates from a poor focus on a balanced and unbiased assessment of the candidate drug vs an objective Target Product Profile: examples on this subject will be shared and discussed.
Josh will introduce you to Evotec’s integrated drug development solutions, which were specifically designed to reduce or eliminate the most common risks in drug development. To demonstrate the success of INDiGO in this regard, Josh will share personalized case studies from his days as a client.
