A toxicologist’s viewpoint on developing oncology drug products

Webinar On Demand

With oncology growth rates on the rise, pharma companies are pressured to develop and manufacture life-saving therapies with speed and agility. Cancer growth rates are driven by environmental factors, lifestyle choices, and an aging population. Approximately 42% of the oncology market pipeline is attributed to oral solid doses*. Since oncology drugs are commonly categorized as highly potent, they require various handling and safety strategies. Attend this webinar to hear toxicologist, Joe Galati, discuss:

  • Criteria for evaluating highly potent small molecules
  • Toxicity binding systems
  • Downgrading a molecule from high potent to low potent:
  • Safety and handling strategies
