  • enabling studies program: prepare and position biotherapeutic products and platforms for clinical testing in patients, including gmp manufacturing and process development. enabling study projects should result in either cta submission packages or quality (chemistry and manufacturing) packages.
  • clinical trials program: phase i/ii clinical trials of novel cancer biotherapies that have been substantially developed in canada.
  • clinical, social and economic impact (csei) program: identify and address the barriers to the adoption and integration of these therapies into clinical practice and canada’s healthcare system.
