Adaptive Oncology Trials: Improving Access and the Patient Perspective

This session explores how adaptive trial designs are changing oncology research, enabling greater flexibility in trial arms and broader use of therapies across indications. We will discuss what this means for patient access and why embedding patient perspectives early is critical to successful study design and delivery.

ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS

During the roundtable discussion session, the conference hall will be divided into zones. Delegates can choose which zone they would like to join. Each zone will be led by a table lead/host and will focus on a different challenge within the industry. After 30 minutes, delegates will have the opportunity to swap and choose a different table, and each roundtable will run twice.
