WEBINAR REPLAYS:
Successful Oncology Clinical Trials and the Impact of Novel Technologies,
IAG’s imaging experts shared their experience in designing and delivering oncology clinical trials, that use quantitative imaging alongside the standard radiographic response criteria. Focus on central review vs local read with RECIST 1.1/iRECIST, RANO, Lugano, use of cloud for imaging data management and AI.
Imaging and Precision Medicine in Neuro-Oncology,
This webinar covered current challenges and introduced novel strategies and paradigms for decision making, including radiological phenotyping, quantification of pseudo progression and use of AI to answer efficacy questions and identify responders in trial of neuro-oncology.
Cell & Gene Therapies: Rethinking Development & Value Creation,
This webinar delivered by Dr. Sven Kili, IAG’s Member of Scientific Advisory board and Cell & Gene Therapy Senior Leader focused on the optimisation of clinical development, regulatory pathways in the EU and USA, and value creation and investment proposition for cell and gene therapies.
IAG team and Dr. Lee Simon focused on the regulatory pathways for osteoarthritis drug development in the EU and USA and novel trial design vs FDA perspective.
Our expert team discussed the use of imaging in drug trials of Covid19 and broader, in lung diseases. The webinar covers imaging biomarkers for drugs in development, AI and modern infrastructure in relevance to Covid19 drug trials.
Advanced Imaging and AI in Drug Development: Autoimmunity,
Together with Harvard medical school, Dr. Olga Kubassova spoke about the connection between the development of novel therapeutics and data sciences. She offered the practical use of imaging in clinical trials: patient stratification and drug efficacy.
Role of medical imaging markers and AI in immuno-oncology drug development,
IAG’s team detailed our experience in support i/o drug development, especially assessment of pseudo-progression through quantification of changes in the tumour microenvironment.
NEW PARTNERSHIPS
Following the success of the previous years, when IAG’s team joined forces with teams of Eli Lilly, IMV, Soricimed, Medicenna and others, we are excited to announce that this year, we partnered with several new biotech companies and academics.
