Strategies to Optimize Commercialization of Oncology Treatments for Younger Adults

Watch this webinar on addressing early onset cancer through strategic trial design, targeted launch indications, and increased trial access to speed up the delivery of impactful treatments.

Early onset cancer has risen dramatically, with more than a 79% increase from 1990-2019 totaling more than 3.26 million diagnoses for individuals aged 14-49 in 20191. Cancer in young adults is different and there is significant unmet medical need in this area as an emerging – and alarming – public health concern. How should drug developers respond to this disturbing trend?

The patient pathway, treatment experience and disease impact differ for young adults compared to older patients. Drug developers have an opportunity to take a more strategic approach to trial design, target launch indications, and trial access points tailored to younger and more diverse patient populations, including historically underrepresented groups.

There is a strong need for improved outcomes such as overall survival and progression free survival. An optimized regulatory and commercial strategy could bring new, meaningful products to market faster to reach patients in the most need.
