Novel conduct of evidence generation and ways to provide optimised healthcare to patients will need to be embedded in regulatory processes to support the entry of precision treatment options into public healthcare systems. Regulatory evidence requirements and assessment will need to be developed further to enable patients’ access to these more complex health products/solutions. Through the examples of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) and Minimal Residual Disease (MRD), this session will outline opportunities and challenges for the development and employment of more personalised healthcare solutions. Both ctDNA and MRD offer innovative opportunities in regulatory science, though challenges will exist in their implementation and acceptance. Early involvement of relevant stakeholders throughout the development of these complex products/solutions is critical to success ensuring that there is appropriate consideration and value assessment during the regulatory process. We will consider and discuss these important topics in this session.
