Models of Excellence: Improving Oncology Drug Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
Simulations based on disease-progression models and phase II trial results can predict phase III results and have the potential to improve oncology drug development by informing end-of-phase II decisions (EOP2Ds). Many barriers impede effective use of modeling and simulation (M&S) for EOP2Ds in oncology: concerns about model validity, lack of access to M&S results and patient-level data, limited awareness of M&S among academic oncologists, and inexperience fitting M&S into the drug development timeline.

متن کاملPatient-derived xenograft models for oncology drug discovery
The success of targeted therapies for cancer patients rests on three major components: the right target(s), the right drug and drug combination, and the right patient population. Although much progress has been made in understanding the mechanism of disease and in refi ning pharmaceutical properties of therapeutic agents, the attrition rates between target discovery and drug marketing approval ...
متن کاملManagement Practices for Software Excellence: An Empirical Investigation
The notion of “Software Excellence”, i.e., excellence in all aspects of the creation and application of software in the general organizational context, has been modeled in this paper after the European Quality Model. The logic of the model is that in any Software Producing Unit (SPU), Leadership driving Policy & Strategy, SPU People Management, End-user Management, Resource Management and Proce...
