Meeting access challenges with adaptive trial designs
With access challenges even after successful but costly development programmes, the industry is under pressure to speed up the clinical development process and produce more for less. Adaptive trial designs, more collaborative working and data sharing could provide a solution in the area of cancer immunotherapy, says Jacqueline Karmel, principal…
