Workshop on site and histology - Independent indications in oncology

• Date:
  Quinta, 14 Dezembro 2017, All day
• Localização:
  European Medicines Agency, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Biological drivers that define cancer course across anatomical sites and histologies offer an opportunity to select populations sensitive to specific drugs based on those drivers, independently of the specific site or histology. This workshop aims to provide an exchange of views from different stakeholders about situations where a site and histology-independent clinical development might be a viable option and the associated challenges in terms of drug development, benefit-risk evaluation and health-technology assessment.
