Regulatory Update on Regulations Surrounding CNS in Europe: BfArM session on Optimising Clinical Development for CNS
Dr Karl Broich, Vice President, BfArM, will discuss the new regulatory landscape as well as projected amendments to the current guidance documents on CNS clinical trials at Optimising Clinical Development for CNS conference, 15-16 February 2011 in London.
- (1888PressRelease) December 17, 2010 - Despite being the second largest therapeutic segment on the planet and having the fastest growth rate, the global central nervous system (CNS) market faces several challenges. According to Direct News, market value is forecast to expand to US$63.9 billion (£40 billion) by the end of 2010, but researchers and organisations are experiencing difficulties when it comes to conducting clinical trials, specifically when complying with new suicidality regulation imposed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Dr Karl Broich will discuss the current regulations (e.g. developing benefit-risk management plans), explain the current guidance document updates and proposals, and explain what are acceptable biomarkers from a regulator's point of view and highlighting the data that is needed to support a biomarker.
