The first episode of the podcast Idé till patient (Idea to patient) will be released on April 12.
The podcast series is a co-production between the companies within the CTR-group and SwedenBIO. The series comprises six episodes where invited guests from the pharma industry will be discussing the pitfalls and highlights in early drug development. Episodes 2-4 will mirror the way to clinical trials and episode 5 will comprise discussions about the first-in-human trial.
“We will discuss important keys in how to go from idea to patient. We highlight the importance of having a TPP early on, need to plan for toxicology early, how to interpret guidelines and how to choose starting dose in your first in human study”, says Karin Meyer, CEO at CTR.
“SwedenBIO encourage member companies to share knowledge and experiences with each other in the Life Science community and we are happy to launch this podcast with the CTR companies. The translational phase from idea to a new treatment for the patient is complex. With the podcast we hope to untangle the obstacles in an easy-going way”, says Frida Lawenius, Deputy Director General at SwedenBIO.
