Drug Development Strategies: Planning a Successful Clinical Development Program

"It is inappropriate to modify prespecified endpoints after results of the studies are known.”
--FDA Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee, June 18, 2010.

After 15 years of research, a high-profile compound was recently rejected by an FDA Advisory Committee. It did make clinically and statistically significant improvement of one important endpoint--just not the one FDA requires.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.  While there is no drug R&D crystal ball, the right development strategy will help you successfully navigate the approval process, and take your drug on the shortest route to your customers. 

In this 90 minute webinar, William Sietsema, Ph.D. will show how to reverse engineer your drug development process, providing the steps proven to minimize approval risks, and prevent delays to market.  

After this program, you will know:

  • The 13 components of clinical development plans—what is essential, and where most organizations err in the process
  • How to reverse engineer a clinical development program, beginning with label claims and working backwards to study designs
  • Insight to be gleaned from research guidance documents and prior development programs
  • How to project overall clinical program timing and costs

William will also answer your team's questions in the Q&A session.

Who should attend...

  • Pharma and biotech executives
  • Clinical trial and outcomes research developers
  • Research and development professionals
  • Corporate strategists and decision-makers
  • Business development
  • Approvals and submissions staff

For one low price, you and your entire team from one location can take part in this fast-paced, insightful webinar. Best of all, you'll be able to connect personally with our panelists when we open up the phone lines for live Q & A.
