This session will explore how to balance the pressures of getting new therapies to clinical trial while ensuring robust study design and providing the best animal welfare possible. Examples of the ways IACUCs and scientists/clinician scientists have found to facilitate agile review and study start times while ensuring high quality pre-clinical studies will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
Explore the unique pressures in pre-clinical studies as a critical step before new therapies can progress to clinical trials
Discuss case studies that provide examples of what is at risk if pre-clinical studies are rushed or delayed
Learn ways to facilitate agile but comprehensive review of pre-clinical studies to support the appropriate transition to clinical trials
