Innovations in Biomarker-Driven Clinical Trials: Key Learnings & Insights to Shape Future Drug-Dx Strategy
8:30 am Biomarker-Driven & Diagnostic Enabled Trials – Managing the Expanding Complexity and Application Outside Oncology
Synopsis
- Review the current position and trends in the development of companion diagnostics e.g. complex markers and growth in nononcology indications
- Key challenges and opportunities for CDx development outside oncology
- Share examples of early work for planning commercialisation of nononcology diagnostics – a pharma perspective
9:00 am HalioDx and the Development of an Integrated Multi-Omic Approach to Interrogating the Tumor Microenvironment and CDx Development
Synopsis
• Integration and interpretation of multi-omic data sets is key to the success of any I/O research program, HalioDx has developed new tools to streamline this process
• Immunogram and ATLAS together provide the foundation to visualize and interpret complex data sets into actionable paths for patients and clinical trial programs
• Biomarker signatures are readily identified from multitude of platforms (mIHC, NGS, RNAish, etc.) and provide key insights into potential CDx/Dx opportunities
