Q&A – The New Urgency of Clinical Trials: How Oncology Leads the Evolution

In Advarra’s recent virtual symposium, experts from industry and academia met to discuss how oncology research has influenced agility in clinical trial design, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Panelists talked about how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted oncology research and propelled the field’s groundbreaking contributions to research. They also explored ways the pandemic response has shaped the future of oncology research—and research in general.

How Oncology Research Is Advancing Better Research

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged every aspect of the clinical research industry. This new urgency has affirmed certain clinical trial innovations originally pioneered in the oncology space.

Virtual Symposium: Gene Therapy Research in the Age of COVID-19

Gene therapy research continues its rapid expansion in the clinical setting, especially in infectious disease, rare disease, and oncology. To support discussion of emerging genetic research issues, Advarra presents its first virtual symposium.

The Future of Phase I Oncology Studies

Phase I studies in oncology pose challenges unlike any other early phase study. Most phase I studies begin with healthy volunteers, but because of the unique nature of the trial compounds, participants in oncology phase I studies are typically patients with cancer rather than healthy volunteers.
