As pharmaceutical and clinical development has become more global, a number of pharmaceutical companies are choosing to perform clinical trials in several regions, in particular South East Asia (India and China), Eastern Europe and Latin America. This presents some unique challenges in terms of filing clinical trial applications in those regions, getting the clinical trial materials to those regions and ensuring that their quality and integrity are not compromised. Good coordination and planning is necessary to provide the necessary materials for the clinical trials and to coordinate the clinical site activities. This open forum will provide some insights into the unique clinical and CMC challenges in conducting multi-regional clinical trials and will provide an excellent learning opportunity for pharmaceutical scientists, clinical coordinators and regulatory personnel. The session will include speakers from a regulatory agency and the pharmaceutical industry in the areas of clinical coordination, clinical manufacturing and packaging and testing, and clinical pharmacology/toxicology.
An additional fee is required to attend the RS/APQ Open Forum. To register, select the appropriate registration fee under the Special Events section of the registration form.
