Clinical Trials: Fact vs. Fiction
understand your options and the right timing
to consider clinical trials Presented by Courtney Hudson, CEO & Founder, EmergingMed
Ovarian Cancer National Conference | Washington, DC | July 9, 2016
Agenda
1. The basics of clinical trials2. When to search3. What’s available4. About targeted therapies & genomic
profiling5. Considerations for phase I clinical
trials6. Discussion & questions

3
What are clinical trials? Measurements of benefits/risks of new
therapies New drug OR drug combination OR
modality OR dosage/sequence OR patient population
Is experimental therapy better or worse or same
Interim analysis and ongoing reviews1.800.535.1682
4
What are clinical trials? Enrollment criteria:
Diagnosis, stage, treatment history, genomic profile
Regimens vs. cycles Phases: 1 1/2 2 2/3 3 Informed consent: you may leave
anytime
1.800.535.1682
Clinical trials may/may not be right for you
Today’s goal: arm you with information to successfully navigate the fast-changing world of ovarian cancer research & clinical trials
Explore clinical trials at each treatment decision
When to search for trials5

TRIALS
The business of developing cancer therapies

No longer takes 10 years to study a drug
Drug developers may first test new therapies in ‘easier cancers’ before ovarian
Phase I trials for more targeted therapies

Identifying biomarkers specific to your tumor may help you make more informed decisions today…and tomorrow

About targeted therapies & genomic profiling12
25 molecular targets across 41 ovarian cancer phase II, III studies (as of 7/8/2016)

Considerations for Phase I trials
Are you 1st, 30th, or 100th patient? First-in-human or testing target
Safety and dosage are tested first, 3-by-3
Anti-cancer activity added as goal 70%+ of all agents move on to
Phase II Over 900 targeted agents in all
cancer studies today (vs 16)WARRANTS A FRESH LOOK AT RISK VS. BENEFIT EQUATION?
