Overview: Early clinical trial phases are conducted to establish initial safety of a drug. The drug trial studies are generally in small number of healthy subjects and use lower doses of the drug product. Therefore, only small amounts of investigational material are required. In order to not undertake substantial costs and to reduce regulatory burden during these early stages, the FDA has allowed early stage investigational products to be manufactured under less stringent GMP guidelines. Why Should You Attend: This webinar will review the current regulations, guidance documents for early stage manufacturing and GMPs in detail. Regulatory strategies and logistical considerations for early development stage product, including vendor selection and management, stability, labeling, and documentation requirements will also be reviewed and explored. Areas Covered in this Webinar: • FDA regulations and Guidance Documents for Phase I clinical trials • Key elements and Best practices of GMP for Phase I clinical trials • IND content and format for CMC information • Vendor selection and management for outsourcing early manufacturing • Raw material selections and considerations Learning Objectives: • Understand the differences permitted for phase I GMP compliance regulations • Ensure that all of the right systems and procedures are in place Who Will Benefit: • Directors • Managers/Supervisors • Regulatory Affairs • Manufacturing • Quality Assurance and Clinical Operations For more information, please visit : https://www.complianceglobal.us/product/700524/PeggyJBerry/gmps-for-phase-i-clinical-studies/1 Email: support@complianceglobal.us Toll Free: +1-844-746-4244 Tel: +1-516-900-5515 Level: Intermediate Speaker Profile: Peggy J.

Research Use Only Products – the Dos and Don’ts - By Compliance Global Inc

$
0
0
Overview: For the past 30 plus years, the label “For Research Use Only” has been confusing to many medical and research professionals as well as marketing and sales personnel. Additionally, these products remain unregulated without Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversight. As the industry transitions into the age of molecular diagnostics to remain innovative with the pharmaceutical industry efforts to develop medical products for unmet medical needs, FDA regulatory oversight is need more than ever. Although these products remain an important commercial class, a regulatory framework to regulate their development, manufacture and distribution for the appropriate laboratory intended use. The topics for discussion in this webinar will be summarized to provide lists of dos and don’ts for marketing, sales personnel, manufacturers and research professionals to achieve their goals, remain compliant and to develop products that will be safe and effective for use in patients. An appropriate regulatory framework will promote innovation for those unmet medical needs instead of being an obstacle to it. For medical professionals involved with clinical development of drugs and medical devices, they are well educated that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the regulating agency that provides the regulatory requirements necessary for final approval. Additionally, medical devices intended for clinical diagnostic use and the FDA also actively regulates diagnostic kits, which are intended for the same clinical use. In contrast however, Research Use Only (RUOs) products are unregulated. Research Use Only products are often discussed as medical devices but they are not devices but an important commercial class of products. Although unregulated, RUOs are mentioned briefly in 21 Code of Federal Regulations. For the past 30 years, these important commercial products, used in both basic and clinical laboratories, have been the subject of intense discussion on how to regulate their distribution and used for the appropriate laboratory use. One of the confusing points of discussion has been the name used as labels for these products. Some manufacturers label them “research use only”, others use investigational use devices (IVD) while others use investigational use only (IUO). With technology and innovation directing the development of drug products for unmet medical needs, the age of molecular diagnostics is very much a part of the clinical research industry. Therefore it is increasingly important to provide a regulatory framework for manufacturers, marketers and sellers of these products to have guidelines to follow when approaching the clinical community. Ultimately, Congress will have to provide the amendment to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act that will provide that regulatory framework for an important commercial product in clinical development. Why Should You Attend: This webinar is an important first step for both professionals, both marketing and sales, to take as they promote and distribute Research Use Only (RUOs) for use by medical professional in clinical laboratories and investigational ones as well. RUOs are important commercially available products that have been in both basic and clinical laboratories. With the constant change in technology in both medical devices and products used in the clinical diagnosis of diseases, marketing professionals need to have knowledge as to the regulation requirements for their specific products. Many of the RUOs are used clinically to determine the appropriate treatment regimens to use to therapeutically resolve these medical issues. Participates will be navigated on a chronological path of FDA attempts to regulate Research Use Only products, a path that has spanned 30 years with an increasing focus towards regulatory requirement in the past 3 years. Areas Covered in this Webinar: Research Use Only (RUOs) has and plays a significant role in clinical development including the drug development process – clinical trials. Although unregulated by the FDA, attendees will learn about the Code of Federal Regulations which plays a major role in the regulatory and labeling requirements of RUOs that both manufactures and sales representative need to be aware of. This webinar will also discuss the several Guidance Documents issued by the FDA in attempts to regulate RUOs and the lack by the agency to enforce the regulations outlined in them. Current thoughts and positions of the FDA to regulate will be discussed with special attention to “letters written by member of Congress sent to Congressional Committee” and a Bill introduced in 2013 which if enacted will change the landscape of RUOs for the future. Learning Objectives: • Definitions of Research Use Only – what are RUOs? • Code of Federal Regulations for Research Use Only Products • Guidance Documents Issued by the FDA • Labeling Requirements for RUOs • Good Manufacturing Practices • Letter from Members of Congress to the Commissioner of the FDA • Congressional Bill regarding FDA’s Authority for Research Use Only Products Who Will Benefit: • Preclinical Researchers • Clinical Researchers • Sales and Marketing Staff Personnel • Laboratory Compliance Office • Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Professionals • Risk/Compliance Officers in the Clinical fields • Good Manufacturing Practice Managers For more information, please visit : https://www.complianceglobal.us/product/700526/HaroldThibodeaux/research-use-only-products%E2%80%93the-dos-and-don%E2%80%99ts-pharmaceutical-industry/1 Email: support@complianceglobal.us Toll Free: +1-844-746-4244 Tel: +1-516-900-5515 Level: Intermediate Speaker Profile: Harold Thibodeaux is a medical research scientist with in vivo pharmacological experiences in both academia and biopharmaceutical industry.

Overview: Pharmaceutical companies must manage the process of designing and creating product labels that meet regulatory requirements. This includes product-labeling documents such as Packet Inserts (PIs), Summaries of Product Characteristics (SmPCs) and Core Data Sheets (CDSs). The large number of product strengths, dosage forms and product presentations results in a large number of labeling records that must be maintained and kept synchronized. The FDA and EMA are implementing a set of rules for the electronic submission of labeling content. The FDA labelling regulation requires companies to submit XML labeling content in Structured Product Labeling (SPL) format. The EMA labelling regulation requires companies to submit product information documents in QRD-compliant format. Companies in the regulated life sciences industries must develop and implement systems and processes that will ensure compliance with these standards for their global labeling content. They must also take a longer-term view as to how best to minimize the complexity and cost of doing so. In this webinar, we will discuss ways to overcome these pharma labelling regulatory challenges and understand how companies in the life sciences industries are doing so through best practices. Why Should You Attend: You should attend this webinar if you are responsible for designing, creating or implementing product labels, or maintaining labeling records.

With the rising cost of drugs and increasing regulations, it is essential for organizations to find ways to cut their development costs. Sponsors often focus on achieving regulatory compliance and speeding through early development so they can focus on Phase 3, where they incur the bulk of their development costs. This can cause them to sacrifice on innovative trial design and effective measures for collecting data on the safety and efficacy of a product. The mission of the 3rd Clinical Trials Phase I and Phase IIA Summit is to provide attendees with the strategies and insight necessary to ensure early stage clinical trials are executed on time and within budget, and to help them explore how to leverage innovative approaches to managing clinical trials from the different therapeutic areas.

8th Annual Practical Management of Acute Stroke

$

More than 795,000 strokes occur each year in the US, either new or recurrent, and cause significant morbidity and mortality. Approximately 1 of every 20 deaths is from stroke, making it the fourth leading cause of death in this country, after heart attack, cancer, respiratory disease, and injuries. Stroke is preventable on many levels, both medical and lifestyle. Increased knowledge and availability of preventive therapies along with control of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors has led to a steady decline in the incidence of stroke along with corresponding mortality declines of nearly 34% from 2003 to 2013. Although control of CV risk factors, especially hypertension, has lowered incidence of stroke, these reports note that the continued need for greater primary prevention efforts to reduce the lifetime risk, severity, and 30-day mortality following stroke. Improvements in acute stroke treatments, especially early recognition and treatment with tissue plasminogen activator, also have contributed to the declines. Given the significant morbidity and mortality associated with acute strokes, education aimed at improving the knowledge and competence of practitioners to assess, diagnose, and treat this disorder in a timely manner has the potential to substantially improve outcomes in this large patient population. Time: 07:00 to 16:30 Price: Physicians: USD 225, Residents/Fellows: USD 85, Non-Physicians: USD 125
