Breakthrough Therapy Designation: Oncology Lessons, New Webinar Hosted by Xtalks
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) June 24, 2014 -- Much conversation and excitement have been generated since the introduction of a Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) and oncology therapies have become an area of focus for this designation. With many questions surrounding the topic, this webinar will first provide an introduction to the criteria and process for obtaining FDA’s BTD, including a working understanding of the use of the BTD in cancer therapies. Next, the role of timely and robust health economic and outcomes research (HEOR) data will be examined, reflecting how evidence can be generated to support a product with BTD.
Join speakers Jay Jackson, Vice President of GHEOR, and Kasia Puto, Associate Director at Xcenda, for an informative session using a case-study approach to demonstrate how quickly evolving data can affect timelines and impact HEOR initiatives in these scenarios.
Key take aways include:
- Knowledge of the key components of FDA’s BTD
- Familiarity with the qualifying criteria for expedited programs
- Ability to discriminate between different pathways to FDA expedited drug development
- Awareness of products (oncology and non-oncology) that have been granted BTD status
- Recognition of HEOR opportunities and challenges specific to preparing and supporting a value story for a BTD product
- Expertise to apply these learnings to the development and commercialization of future BTD products
