Additionally, there will be a Q&A at the end of each session for the audience to ask questions.

Topics will include:

  • Regulatory resources and early engagement programs available at FDA centers (CBER, CDER, and CDRH)
  • Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC), non-clinical, and clinical guidance documents for early product development
  • Early-stage
    • Small molecule drug and biologic anticancer-drug development
    • Cell and gene therapy anticancer-drug development
