Overview:

This course will provide an overview of the regulatory requirements to conduct clinical trials in Europe, the US and Canada. Data that is required to be filed and the process for approval of the trial will be reviewed.

Discussion will occur regarding the process for changing protocols or clinical trial supplies, including when prior approval of such changes are required. The approach to adverse drug reactions will be discussed. Clinical trial registries are confusing and vary from country to country. The data that must be made public and the timing of these publications has been changing the last several weeks. We will discuss what must be done when a trial is discontinued prematurely or if a regulatory agency refuses to approve your trial.

Why should you Attend:Knowing the regulatory requirements across these jurisdictions is mandatory for any company trying to conduct clinical trials across these countries. Knowing how a clinical trial is approved, how changes to clinical trials or clinical trial material needs to be submitted, how adverse reactions are handled, how clinical trials are registered and what data needs to be made public are all fundamental issues for companies entering this highly regulated area. This session will provide an overview of these topics and strengthen your knowledge so that you can move forward confidently.
