What if your recruitment problem is actually a protocol problem? Complex eligibility criteria, burdensome procedures and competition for limited patient populations can undermine oncology trial recruitment before a study even begins. Rethinking Recruitment and Retention in Competitive Oncology Clinical Trials explores why feasibility needs to inform study design from day one. Claudio Hegenberger, MD and Johannes Wolff, MD, PhD share practical perspectives on patient access, KOL involvement, protocol complexity, country selection and retention and why these factors need to be considered together. Design for the patients and sites that exist in the real world, not just the ideal study population.

Why are more sponsors looking to China and APAC earlier? Dan Gallagher explains how growing competition for investigators, sites and patients is changing global development strategies, and why APAC is becoming an increasingly important consideration for sponsors seeking to accelerate clinical development.

Speed matters in oncology drug development. Bringing a new cancer therapy from concept to proof of concept has never been more challenging. Increasingly complex biologics, precision medicines, and cell therapies require smarter development strategies. An integrated development approach can: ✅ Reduce operational complexity ✅ Accelerate patient enrollment ✅ Enable faster dose and cohort decisions ✅ Shorten timelines to critical proof-of-concept milestones When science, strategy, and execution are aligned from the start, sponsors can make better decisions faster.

Why do oncology trials struggle to recruit, even when the science is compelling? In their latest article, Claudio Hegenberger, MD and Johannes Wolff, MD, PhD explore why recruitment and retention challenges often start long before the first patient is enrolled. From overly complex protocols and narrow eligibility criteria to competition for the same patient populations, they examine how early feasibility, KOL engagement, smarter patient-access strategies and strategic country selection can help sponsors de-risk oncology studies. Recruitment isn’t just an operational challenge. It starts with how the study is designed.

APAC is no longer an afterthought in global clinical development. China and the broader APAC region are increasingly moving earlier into sponsors’ development strategies, driven by the need to accelerate timelines, access patients faster and unlock asset value earlier. As competition for sites, investigators and patients intensifies across the US and Europe, the question is shifting from “Should we include APAC?” to “How early should APAC be part of our global strategy?” In his latest article, Dan Gallagher explains why China and APAC are moving from an optional expansion geography to a strategic consideration in global clinical development, as sponsors look to access patients faster, accelerate timelines and compete more effectively for sites and investigators.

Renal innovation is accelerating. Is clinical development keeping pace? As kidney disease becomes more targeted and therapeutically diverse, sponsors need to bring together disease biology, patient selection, biomarkers, endpoints, clinical operations and evidence strategy earlier in development. Following ASN Kidney Week 2026, we look at five trends shaping the next generation of renal clinical development and the implications for biotech and pharma. Explore the five takeaways → emeraldclinical.com/insights… #RenalResearch #ClinicalDevelopment #Nephrology #Biotech #Pharma #ClinicalTrials

Is the traditional oncology development model slowing innovation? As cancer therapies become increasingly complex, many development programs still rely on fragmented study designs that add time, cost, and operational risk. Integrated proof-of-concept models can help sponsors move faster by combining early development stages, leveraging adaptive designs, and using seamless protocols to accelerate decision-making. The result? Faster insights, more efficient development pathways, and earlier confidence in promising therapies. At Emerald Clinical, we are helping sponsors rethink how oncology trials are designed to bring innovative treatments to patients sooner.

Many sponsors still view China and Japan as regions to add later in development. However, data shared in our recent webinar suggests that incorporating these markets from the start can significantly improve enrolment certainty and accelerate timeline In our latest article, we explore; • How China and Japan can act as dual engines for global oncology development • Why protocol design is the critical moment to integrate APAC • Evolving regulatory pathways supporting multi-regional clinical trials • Strategies to accelerate proof-of-concept and reduce development risk For sponsors pursuing faster, more predictable oncology development, APAC is increasingly becoming a strategic advantage rather than a late-stage consideration.

When should Asia-Pacific enter your oncology clinical development strategy? For many biotechs planning proof-of-concept or pivotal oncology studies, development strategies naturally begin in the US and Europe. But as global oncology innovation continues to evolve, is it time to bring Asia-Pacific into the conversation earlier? In our latest video, Luke Gill, Vice President, Global Head of Oncology at Emerald Clinical, shares his perspective on why sponsors should be rethinking the timing of Asia-Pacific integration into their clinical development plans. With nearly 3,000 active Phase I-III oncology trials across the region, Asia-Pacific offers extensive infrastructure, experienced investigators, regulatory expertise, and access to diverse patient populations. As oncology drug development becomes increasingly global, clinical strategies should reflect that reality. 🎥 Watch the video to hear Luke's insights. 📍 Meet the Emerald Clinical team at ESMO 2026 Booth 1076A To learn more schedule a meeting: 🔗 emeraldclinical.com/meet-us-… #ESMO2026 #Oncology #ClinicalResearch #Biotech #CancerResearch #PrecisionMedicine #Emeraldclinical
