The National Cancer Center Korea(NCC) launched a new government R&D program, called "National OncoVenture" for cancer drug development in 2011 to bridge the gap between discovery and development in drug development in Korea. The National OncoVenture, formerly known as the Bridging and Development ("B&D") Program for Cancer Therapeutics with System Integration, is to facilitate the drug development process by letting a group of drug development experts in and out of the NCC carry out preclinical, clinical trials of the new anti-cancer drug candidates they have licensed in from the original inventors in industry, academia and government-funded institutes. The National Oncoventure aims to develop 4 Global Drug Candidates that have completed phase 2a human clinical trials by 2016.
