Solution Provider PresentationAccelerating CDx Integration in Drug Clinical Trials: What It Takes to Succeed Under IVDR
Solution Provider PresentationManaging interventional Clinical Performance Studies (CPS) under the IVDR remains one of the most challenging elements of drug–diagnostic co development. The highly decentralized requirements across National Competent Authorities and ethics committees introduce significant variability and potential delays, underscoring the need for seamless coordination between pharmaceutical and diagnostic partners. This session will examine the key challenges associated with Annex XIV CPS submissions and present practical strategies to streamline planning, align regulatory activities with drug development timelines, and enhance collaboration with critical European regulatory stakeholders.

Industry PresentationClinical Single-Cell Sequencing to Uncover Determinants of Response and Guide Treatment Selection
Industry PresentationCancer treatment efficacy depends on tumor, immune, and stromal features that are not currently accessible in clinical practice. One Biosciences developed OneMap™, combining single-nucleus profiling and AI to identify cellular and molecular determinants of response. We will present recent studies uncovering single-cell biomarkers for immune checkpoint inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates, and bispecific antibodies, and demonstrating prospective clinical applications.

Industry PresentationClinical Trial Outcome Prediction Through Systematic Data Enrichment: Integrating Pharmacokinetic and Biomarker Data
Industry PresentationClinical trial success prediction models plateau at ROC-AUC 0.65 despite increasing algorithmic complexity. We hypothesize limitations stem from data quality rather than model architecture. Auditing public datasets reveals major quality issues. Integrating underexploited biological variables (pharmacokinetics, biomarkers) and rigorous data curation may unlock predictive gains more effectively than complex algorithms.
