Oncology Expertise Built
For Early-Phase Precision
Oncology studies demand rigor, scientific depth, and calm execution under pressure. HiRO’s oncology teams bring together global experience, regional insight, and biometrics-led precision to guide complex programs with evidence-driven confidence.
Across Australia and New Zealand, streamlined regulatory pathways enable rapid initiation of doseescalation and proof-of-concept studies—often while IND or CTA preparations continue in parallel for larger markets. This efficiency allows sponsors to generate early PK/PD and safety data faster, supporting smarter decisions and milestone-driven development.
Regulatory Efficiency: ANZ offers uniquely efficient pathways for early-phase oncology studies, enabling initiation within weeks rather than months while maintaining robust scientific and ethical oversight.
Capital Efficiency: Australia’s R&D Tax Incentive provides up to 43.5% refundable offsets, supporting extended runway and reinvestment into development.
Clinical Infrastructure: World-class oncology centers, experienced investigators, and English-speaking healthcare systems deliver high-quality data aligned with FDA and EMA expectations.
Strategic Global Positioning: Data generated in ANZ is widely accepted in global submissions, providing a strong foundation for INDs, CTAs, and multi-regional expansion.
