Friday, May 04, 2012  |   |   |   |  Challenging Current Paradigms in Early Drug Development Please Join Aptuit at their Medicines Research Centre in Verona Italy Drug Discovery and Development is an expensive and high-risk business that can take 10 years from inception to the commercialization of a new drug. Often associated with high attrition rates, it is driven by medical need, disease prevalence and likelihood of success. Drug Development has traditionally been a long and extensive process designed for a staged assessment of the safety, efficacy and manufacture of a drug candidate. On May 16, 2012, Aptuit will welcome nine distinguished representatives from academia and industry to speak at this FREE symposium where they will cover and discuss aspects and strategies to reduce risk, costs and timelines from Candidate Selection to Phase II Clinical Trials.
