Event Overview:

Advanced therapies—such as cell therapies, gene therapies, and personalized cancer vaccines—emerge from uniquely advanced science. The clinical studies behind these therapeutics are some of the most complex in the history of medicine and must overcome the operational challenges inherent in their patient-centric paradigm. In addition, the transformative nature of these treatments means that a promising early result often may result in accelerated status and pressure to scale rapidly.

With more than 1070 advanced therapy clinical trials operating world-wide, the need for solutions that simplify and scale cell and gene therapy studies is urgent. In this webinar, veteran experts will share proven solutions for clinical scale.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Understand some of the unique operational aspects of advanced therapy clinical trials, including combined study phases and accelerated timelines.
  • Analyze the importance of pivotal trials for cell and gene therapies and how the unique features of advanced therapy clinical studies affect preparations for pivotal trials.
  • Evaluate solutions that simplify and optimize preparations for pivotal trials in cell and gene therapies.
