The virtual think tank will aim to cover a range of topics including:

  • Opportunities to use novel trial design techniques such as synthetic control arms, big data, and artificial Intelligence 
  • The potential role of nuclear imaging and immune imaging
  • Pharmacodynamic biomarker development during pre-clinical phase of drug development
  • Early phase pre-surgical trials: Phase 0
  • Combination trials and changes in how to attribute efficacy and/ or toxicity to individual components of combination therapies
  • How to best integrate predictive biomarkers
  • What changes are needed to make tangible advances in the field?
  • Key Neuro-Oncology, FDA and Pharma leaders will offer a range of topics to address the essentials of effective clinical trial design in the treatment of CNS malignancies. 
Upon completion of this course, participants will have an improved understanding of the practical aspects of clinical trial designs from topics that include the role of nuclear imaging, pharmacodynamic biomarker development, combination trials, research from other diseases, and predictive biomarkers.
