Quality must be assured at all stages of clinical development. Quality planning and risk management begins well before the first protocol for a clinical program is drafted and continues through the life cycle of the product, including postmarking studies. Approaches, including protocols assessment by cross-functional teams and development of control strategies, can identify and address risks before the study starts. At the other end of the clinical development cycle, interest in postmarketing, noninterventional studies is increasing from both the regulatory perspective and their potential support new indications. This session will discuss how these studies have their own set of challenges, yet proper oversight can be achieved through innovative approaches.

Learning Objectives

Describe a framework to reduce risk in early-phase trials; Identify how to drive value from the protocol review stage; Discuss the necessity and challenges of cross-functional risk assessment; Describe the current landscape and expectations for sponsors of non-interventional research; Recognize oversight activities with respect to challenges of postmarketing observational trials; Discuss innovative solutions for overcoming the challenges through risk adapted surveillance activities.
