The use of biomarkers in drug development is becoming more common and many pharmaceutical companies are already integrating them in to clinical development. Although the potential benefits of utilising biomarkers have been documented extensively, many of the practicalities of using them have not yet been sufficiently explored.
With an exceptional line-up of speakers, SMi’s Biomarkers in Clinical Trials conference will demonstrate the way forward in designing phase I, II and III trials. Attend and gain valuable insights into the use of biomarkers as a way of accelerating the approval or withdrawal of a product. You will have the chance to network with industry associates and the opportunity to explore ways in which you can integrate biomarkers into your own drug development processes. This unique event is designed to help you identify the potential of your products in the most efficient way possible and is an essential addition to the calendar of all those working in the industry.
Why should you attend this event?
- Understand the realities of biomarker application in late-stage drug development
- Learn ways of adapting existing clinical trial models to integrate biomarkers
- Hear about the potential financial benefits of using biomarkers
- Determine what the most appropriate strategies are for your own development programmes
