#363: Expedited Reviews and Other Pathways to Speed Up Access to Medicines
Limited Capacity seats available

Level: Intermediate
CE: ACPE 1.25 Knowledge UAN: 0286-0000-16-550-L01-P; CME 1.25; IACET 1.25; RN 1.25

Patients with unmet medical needs want early access to medicines. Regulators need to feel confident that the the benefit-risk balance of a medicine they are licensing is positive. Regulators from the EU, Japan, and the US will discuss how access to medicines can be speeded up and the use of postmarketing data to reduce the uncertainties.

Learning Objectives

Recognize the concepts and current progress with speeding up access to medicines in different regions.

#403: Running Personalized Medicine Trials: Facts and Figures
Limited Capacity seats available
Component Type: Session
Level: Intermediate
CE: ACPE 1.25 Knowledge UAN: 0286-0000-16-516-L01-P; CME 1.25; IACET 1.25; RN 1.25

Personalized medicine is a hot topic in drug development. But how exactly do you run trials with a personalized medicine target in mind? Is there a different way to plan for trial operations when you must include only those patients who express a biomarker? What are the implications to running a trial when you're testing a biomarker hypothesis in the trial itself, instead of using a validated biomarker? And how do you effectively partner with CROs to execute these plans? This session will offer industry-wide data on current trends and findings and insights on the pitfalls and opportunities of personalized medicine trials, as well as share experiences of running many trials with the goal of developing truly personalized medicines.

Learning Objectives

Define personalized medicine and share industry-wide data about the use of personalized medicine strategy in clinical trials; Describe regulatory insights and perspectives on operationalizing trials with personalized medicine objectives; Discuss lessons learned and tips to successfully run trials with personalized medicine endpoints.
