Symposium Course Description:
This course seeks to highlight the key elements of successful transitions of companion diagnostics from clinical development to commercial planning for drug and diagnostic innovators. The challenges of companion diagnostic/drug development programs will be reviewed with an emphasis on identifying strategies and activities that will facilitate successful patient access to both the test and the drug therapy. The presenters will review the current laboratory testing and market access landscape in the US, EU, and select emerging markets. Predicate case studies will be examined to illustrate how the landscape for companion diagnostic/drug programs is changing in terms of pathways and clinical evidence requirements for reimbursement/funding of both the companion diagnostic and the drug therapy.
