The first webinar, entitled “Regulatory Affairs for Start-Up/Virtual Drug Development Companies,” will be held from 12 noon – 1:30 PM on Wednesday, December 7, 2011. Presenters include Roberta Tucker, RPH and Elizabeth Fenna (Partners, RegRx Consulting LLC – PROMETRIKA’s regulatory affairs consultants), who will review the regulatory affairs issues and requirements that face smaller companies involved in executing clinical research programs and developing healthcare products in the U.S. They will highlight the range of professional services and expertise required to execute drug development programs in compliance within mandated guidelines and prevailing regulatory standards.
“As a clinical research organization, PROMETRIKA has developed special expertise and contacts in all areas of planning and execution for clinical trials. In our new webinar series, leading experts will review the requirements that companies conducting clinical research find especially challenging. They will also identify effective solutions to help research professionals address these challenges successfully. This training can help to improve interactions with the FDA, reduce costs and maximize the chances of success in clinical stage research,” said Miganush Stepanians, Ph.D., president and CEO at PROMETRIKA.
Webinars will also review the regulatory requirements and options to help company managers plan for the full range of regulatory expertise and support they need to execute a clinical trial in the United States. Topics to be covered in future webinars include:
• a review of best practice strategies for FDA meetings;
• special considerations in developing orphan drugs; and,
• opportunities to use foreign data in US regulatory submissions.
The schedule for future webinars will be posted on the PROMETRIKA web site (www.prometrika.com) in the coming weeks.
“We plan to schedule webinars about 4-5 weeks apart to make this a convenient series for many industry professionals to plan to join. This training will provide important new insights on regulatory affairs for CEOs and senior managers, entrepreneurs, regulatory affairs teams, clinical researchers, and medical professionals,” Dr. Stepanians said.
