FDAnews, in conjunction with United BioSource Corp and the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest, announced today they are hosting the Second Annual Risk Management & Drug Safety Summit on Oct 01-02 2009 at the National Press Club, Washington DC.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

Clinical research, drug development, regulatory approval and pharmacovigilance segments of the drug and biologic industries are at a crucial crossroads. New risk management programs from the FDA, known as REMS, promise a competitive advantage to companies that incorporate REMS early in the NDA approval cycle, then stay close to the FDA through post-market monitoring and beyond. But compliance challenges are daunting.

 

How do you evaluate the effectiveness of your REMS? What is the impact of developing a REMS on your clinical trials, organizational structure, reporting and governance? What lessons have REMS pioneers learned that might benefit you? These are but a few of the questions swirling around this new get-tough approach to risk management and drug safety regulation.

 

Come to Washington DC, Oct 1-2, and discover how your company can cope with and adjust to REMS. The SECOND ANNUAL RISK MANAGEMENT & DRUG SAFETY SUMMIT is set for Oct 1-2, at the National Press Club, Washington DC.
