At the Early Drug Development Center (EDDC), we focus on treating solid tumors with experimental targeted therapy, immunotherapy, cell therapies, and therapeutic drug monitoring of anticancer drugs. Our phase 1 and 2 studies are based on fundamental knowledge about cancer and cell mechanisms, with the aim to obtain new treatment options. Our focus areas are immunotherapy, image-guided therapy, personalized medicine, and survivorship. You can find

Collaboration with CROs and pharmaceutical companies
With our high-quality standards, protocols, and clear agreements, we ensure constructive collaboration with CROs and pharmaceutical companies. By working together with our partners, we aim to reach the highest standard and quality in research activities.
We work with different departments that are essential for early drug development. Our facilities and resources include (amongst others) radiology, hospital pharmacy, nuclear medicine, pathology, general clinical laboratories, data management, contract management and a CRU. We are always looking for new partners and collaborations. If you are interested in partnering with the EDDC, you can send an email to
