The DNA Damage Response (DDR) field is entering a defining new phase. With PARP inhibitors firmly established in the clinic, attention is turning toward next-generation DDR targets – including ATR, CHK1/2, DNA-PK, and WEE1 – and the biomarker-driven combination strategies that promise to unlock greater selectivity, durability, and reduced toxicity.

This eBook explores the scientific and strategic frontiers transforming DDR drug development – from overcoming resistance mechanisms to designing precision combinations that deliver lasting clinical benefit.
Get exclusive insights from the 9th DDR Inhibitors Summit, where industry leaders, academic innovators, and translational experts come together to shape the next chapter of targeted oncology.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- The most promising novel DDR targets beyond PARP and their clinical potential
- Biomarker-led approaches to improve selectivity and patient outcomes
- Combination strategies designed to overcome resistance and toxicity challenges
- Key perspectives from top biopharma and academic pioneers driving DDR innovation

Access your free copy to see how DDR-focused drug developers are accelerating the future of precision oncology.
