Description
Beginning with a brief overview of the FDA's Exploratory IND Guidance and the concept of Phase 0 trials and their application, this session will feature a point-counterpoint discussion among medical, government and industry experts on the merits of this new approach in drug development. The panel will explore the pros and cons of incorporating Phase 0 trials into existing drug development strategies and discuss scenarios where this option may produce the greatest impact on next-stage development, attrition rates, overall costs, time and productivity.



Objectives:
  • Educate attendees on the FDA's Exploratory IND guidance and its impact on drug development efforts.

  • Discuss the pros and cons of Phase 0 trials so that attendees will know when exploratory INDs should be considered as part of a product development strategy.

  • Inform participants of the resources, expertise and infrastructure required to conduct Phase 0 studies, and address the key points for patient communications.
