Is Technology Replacing MEDDRA and WHODRUG Coding Specialists in Clinical Trials? All data generated in a clinical trial must be uniformly interpreted to ensure accurate results. Correct medical coding plays a critical role — and how that coding happens may be shifting. How is technology affecting the process of medical coding in clinical trials? Watch...
Preparing your market application and planning the lifecycle management of your development program are critical to moving your product through early-phase trials and achieving commercial success. Approval in the United States and European Union paves the way for a drug’s acceptance in many, but not all, other parts of the world — so which additional countries...
New treatment options for moderate to severe dermatological diseases and areas of high unmet need are driving a revolution in clinical development of dermatology drugs. But questions remain: What indications should be pursued? How to design a study that targets the right endpoints? And how will environmental constraints affect the research? In this three-part series,...
Every drug development program must begin with an understanding of how the relevant key stakeholders factor into the development process. It’s not just a matter of courtesy; a comprehensive examination of the roles played by all participants has the potential to produce faster and more concrete results, leading to improved patient outcomes. Topics in this...
Planning a product development program? Learn how to set the stage for success with our on-demand webinar series. The steps you take in the earliest stages can profoundly influence your product’s path through development and marketing approval. When is the right time to engage regulators? Which paths to expedited development make sense for your product?...
Phase 1 clinical trials aim to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of a new molecule with the goal of identifying a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), often the MTD itself. Ideally, the RP2D would have adequate therapeutic effect to demonstrate preliminary signs of efficacy in Phase 2, but many Phase 2 trials fail to...
Competition for patients among sponsors in the field of dermatology drug development has never been as intense as it is now — so much so that it’s becoming difficult to meet project timelines, attract and retain patients, and achieve comprehensive study results. Patients are in high demand, and making studies appealing to them — convenient,...
Explore dermatology trials from the vantage point of study design, patient access, data quality, regulatory considerations, and more This webinar explores the latest changes in dermatology trials in the areas of study design, patient access, data quality, regulatory considerations, and more. Learn what’s required to understand the disease burden, patients’ treatment goals, and other critical...
Medical devices play an increasingly critical role in the health and quality of life for millions of people worldwide. While clinical trials for medical devices have many similarities to those for pharmaceuticals, the regulatory evaluation of devices is distinct from that of drugs – and there are critical differences in the way the device trials...
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just updated its 2015 draft guidelines for drug discovery in rare diseases. The January update, Rare Diseases: Common Issues in Drug Development, seeks to help pharmaceutical companies and other sponsors perform more efficient development programs for drugs and biological products and provides new insights on complex elements of...
