NOVARTIS PARTNERS WITH OUR CENTRE FOR DRUG DEVELOPMENT FOR PRECISION MEDICINE CLINICAL TRIAL

This week, DETERMINE, our multi-drug, precision medicine trial designed to expand treatment options for patients with rare cancer, welcomes Novartis on board.

Providing access to initial treatment, Novartis joins Roche in making targeted therapeutics available to the rare cancer patients participating in the trial. Each new collaboration or partnership enables us to go further in advancing the field of rare cancer research and Novartis contribution marks the first major collaboration between our Centre for Drug Development and the company.

The Centre of Drug Development manages the trial in collaboration with University of Manchester and partners. The trial is currently recruiting both paediatric and adult patients with any of the 149 known rare cancer types. If you are interested in helping advance rare cancer research and development with your research-driven organisation, wed like to hear from you.

Find out more about the potential opportunities for genomic or diagnostic screening technologies and targeted clinical assets.
