SUMMARY:Accelerating Clinical Development from First-in-Human to Proof-of-Concept
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will describe how Quotient Clinical’s unique Enabled-First-in-Human® programs significantly reduce the time and cost required to transition to Proof of Concept.  The integration of real-time GMP manufacture and clinical testing minimises CMC investments and simplifies supply chains.  By enhancing the design and speed of early phase clinical programs\, the pressure on R&D budgets is reduced and critical decisions are made sooner. \nPresentation 1: First-in-Human to Proof-of-Concept – there is a better way! \nAlyson Connor\, Executive Director Exploratory Clinical Pharmacology \nA current perspective on the conduct of First-in-Human (FIH) programs in the UK will be shared\, highlighting the benefits of Quotient’s innovative approach.  Case studies will illustrate successes across a range of molecule classes and indications. \nPresentation 2: Adaptive CMC strategies for First in Human programs \nNikki Whitfield\, Vice President\, Pharmaceutical Sciences \nInsights into novel approaches for the development of fit-for-purpose FIH drug products to allow rapid entry into clinic will be described.  Proven strategies for a time- and cost-efficient transition\, within the FIH programme\, to a product suitable for downstream development will be presented. \nTo register your place\, please email Ciaran Flanagan. \nThis event is also taking place in Cambridge on Tuesday 21 February.

SUMMARY:Cyclops Healthcare Network - Grand Challenge Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Applications are invited for participation at the EPSRC-funded Cyclops Healthcare Network Grand Challenge Workshop. Participants will explore applications of closed loop control systems for optimising the treatment of patients in three clinical areas: intensive care\, chronic wound care\, cancer care. \nA maximum of 60 delegates will participate in the workshop in order to ensure high quality networking. If the event is oversubscribed\, then participants will be selected\, to ensure a balance of skillsets\, clinical areas of interest and roles on the pathway to adoption. \nWorkshop delegates will be eligible to bid for a share of £300k for feasibility studies. \nWhat are closed loop control systems for optimising treatment? \nA treatment that is optimised and personalised can significantly improve patient outcomes across a range of medical conditions. The closed loop control approach involves continuously monitoring key clinical parameters and\, informed by mathematical models\, adapting treatment. \nChallenges that might be addressed using closed loop control include: the delivery of treatment to cancer patients\, the moment-to-moment management of critically ill (or injured) patients\, and the accelerated healing of chronic wounds. These are the three clinical exemplar areas of focus of the Cyclops network. \nWho should participate? \n  \n\nYou must work in an area that has the potential to be applied to the optimisation of healthcare treatment through closed loop control systems.\nParticipants will be those with expertise and/or experience in the following disciplines (this list is not exclusive): medical devices\, sensors\, mathematical modelling\, artificial intelligence\, human factors\, risk management\, psychology of healthcare\, patient group representatives\, clinicians from the clinical exemplar areas and healthcare managers.\nParticipants may be from any stage of the path to adoption\, from blue-skies’ researchers to device manufacturers and device users.\nParticipants may be from any career stage; early career researchers are encouraged to participate.\nApplicants for funding must be able to attend both days of the workshop.\nOnly those who attend the workshop may lead bids for feasibility studies.\n\nTo find out more about this workshop and register your place\, please click here.
