Throughout his presentation he discussed the sources of drug development costs and ways to more effectively manage them.
The conference hosted multiple panels and one breakout session:
· During the panel ‘Standard of Care – Trends and Case Studies’, one attendee had said “This topic generated a lot of interactive discussion. I noticed that the discussion spilled over into the lunch break, which was terrific.”
· On R&D globalization, “I liked it; it is a topic that keeps me up at night… Please make sure if you continue this topic in the future that you build upon it and just not repeat it. The ideas presented are current today, but in this fast changing world, will be outdated in a year if you cannot build on it.” – The CRO panel discussion.
· “Very informative, data driven look at the trends in industry, asked a lot of questions that we in industry have been finding difficult to formulate. Would be interested in his slides.” - discussing Dr. Harold Glass and his presentation ‘The Annual State of Clinical Development Costs’
· Another attendee had this to say about the fourth panel on ‘Late Phase Study Planning and Budgeting,’ “It was interesting to consider the many issues that are specific to late phase studies.”
