Symposium on Dose Selection for Cancer Treatment Drugs

Organizers: Stanford Cancer Institute
Stanford Center for Innovative Study Design
UCSF-Stanford Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (CERSI)
University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center
Symposium Objective:

The goal of this workshop is to exchange research progress and discuss challenges in appropriate dosage for cancer treatments

 

Theme:

Both academic institutions and pharmaceutical industry have conducted early phase trials to select appropriate doses for later development of cancer treatments. The increasing need for the development of combination therapy due to resistance to monotherapy and poor tolerance of approved dose regimens underscores the need for a more efficient process of dose selection in the early stages of study design and refinement through the whole cycle of drug development and post-marketing research. Furthermore, with gaining insights of pharmacology and pharmacogenomics, multidisciplinary approaches are necessary to understand the exposure-response relationships, genomic modifications, modeling and simulation for dose findings, and new design for dose-optimization studies. This symposium will bring together researchers from academia and pharmaceutical industry to exchange research progress and discuss common challenges in appropriate dosage for cancer treatments.
