For many years, drug development in oncology focused on treatments for tumors in specific parts of the body. However , with the advent of genomic sequencing, it has become clear that anatomically different tumors can have the same mutation that result in susceptibility to a drug, and that it is those mutations, rather than the anatomical site of the tumor, that should drive patient selection in clinical trials. This same approach, grouping patients based on molecular targets rather than clinical phenotypes, has broader implications for orphan drug development beyond oncology. In this session, the speakers will cover a variety of topics related to this issue, including rare mutation oncology trials, innovative study designs, and perspectives on orphan drug development in the age of personalized medicine.

Learning Objectives

Discuss insights for overcoming barriers to successful precision medicine development in rare mutation oncology trials; Describe different types of study designs for orphan drug development in personalized medicine; Identify different perspectives on orphan drug development in the age of personalized medicine.
