Round-table Discussion: Straight to the Targett: Exploring the Role of Direct CNS Access in Modern Therapeutics to Solidify Local Administration in the Clinic
2:00 pm
Highly interactive breakout discussions designed to crowdsource solutions, share cross-functional insights, and explore the practical barriers to clinical adoption.
- What safety, procedural, or monitoring strategies are most critical to de-risk intra- CSF and other direct CNS delivery methods in clinical trials?
- How can integration between therapeutic formulation and delivery systems be optimized to accelerate approval of combination products?
Moderator Feedback & Audience Debate
Moderators will be assigned to each roundtable to facilitate discussion and collate the findings. Following the roundtable discussions, they will present back to the entire delegation and open a wider audience debate.
