Discover three strategies to accelerate your clinical trial from pre-IND to market. Learn about regulatory interactions, CRO selection, and data integrity with BioBoston Consulting’s expert services.
In the competitive landscape of drug development, advancing clinical assets from trial to market can be challenging. With only 52% of Phase I assets advancing to Phase II, as highlighted by Pharma Intelligence’s Clinical Development Success Rates 2011-2020, companies need to take calculated steps to minimize risk and accelerate progress. This is particularly crucial when funding is tight, and resources are limited. Sponsors need a strategy that ensures faster development timelines, effective risk mitigation, and clear differentiation of assets to attract investors or achieve a successful exit strategy.
Below are three key strategies to help your drug development process gain momentum and ensure a quicker route to market.
1. Mitigating Risks with Early Regulatory Planning
Effective regulatory planning is a critical step in moving from pre-IND to IND and helps to reduce uncertainty and streamline the process. Early interactions with the FDA such as requesting Pre-IND meetings allow sponsors to receive valuable feedback on key regulatory and scientific data that is required for a successful IND submission.
Therefore, working with a partner who has extensive experience in FDA interactions is crucial. Their expertise ensures that the right data points are compiled into a submission package, allowing for a smoother transition into Phase I trials. Leadership alignment and engagement from all teams involved in the regulatory process will enhance the quality of feedback and the overall success of the IND submission.
2. Choosing the Right CRO to Ensure Trial Success
Selecting the right Contract Research Organization (CRO) is a pivotal decision in clinical trial development. While cost is an important consideration, performance metrics should guide CRO selection. Evaluating potential CROs on factors such as their ability to manage budgets, technology infrastructure, data solutions, and regulatory compliance is essential.
Equally important is choosing a CRO with specific experience in your therapeutic area, ensuring they understand your unique needs and regulatory requirements. Additionally, defining clear performance expectations, including risk-sharing incentives, will help align both parties’ goals and mitigate potential issues during the trial process.
3. Ensuring Data Integrity from Day One
Data integrity is one of the most critical aspects of clinical trials, particularly when progressing from trial to market. With the increasing complexity of clinical trial ecosystems, it is easy for data integrity to slip through the cracks. However, data quality issues are one of the leading causes of trial failure, particularly during audits or regulatory inspections.
Studies show that 5-15% of Phase I trials fail due to data integrity issues, resulting in costly delays and sometimes trial suspension. By proactively implementing strict data integrity measures from the initial stages, sponsors can ensure that their clinical trials meet regulatory requirements and avoid costly setbacks that may derail the path to approval.
