Sept. 27-28, 2024 - Symposium for Evolving Therapies and Drug Development in Oncology
Program Description
This two-day conference aimed at improving the knowledge and competence of academic and community oncology providers involved in Early Phase Clinical Trial Development and Management, Phase I/II Clinical Trials Conduct, and Management of Assessments and Safety Parameters involves more than the development of Concepts.
Recent Phase I Studies involving biomarker-guided design in the era of novel therapies has special challenges in selection of studies, patients’ enrollment along with networking with the surrounding institutions to ensure equity and inclusion of patients enrolled in the early phase studies that direct future drug development.
The activity will use a mix of didactic lectures and panel discussions to highlight various aspects of Early Phase Clinical Studies, Precision oncology, and addressing current challenges and opportunities in designing clinical trials in the era of novel therapies.
In-Person Only
This event is being offered as an in-person conference only. There will be no virtual piece or recorded sessions. Attendees will have the opportunity to join the speakers in-person at Inova Center for Personalized Health Conference Center (ICPH) .
