What are the key studies that should be prioritised in order to overcome regulatory hurdles and get a novel compound/combination into the clinic?
What are the different diseases, indications or clinical settings that the asset might be applied to?
How can early phase clinical studies be better designed to ensure better decision-making during further clinical development?
What companion diagnostics (histopathology, genetic, ctDNA) will complement clinical studies based on its mechanism of action?
