NEW YORK, April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Quality & Productivity Center will present its Safety Pharmacology: Approaches to the Latest in Regulations, Testing and Future Developments conference July 26-28, 2004 at the The Holiday Inn Historic District in Philadelphia, PA.
The challenges faced by the Pharmaceutical Industry today to comply with regulatory guidelines are many. There is a lack of clear understanding as to how much testing is enough as well as which are the most successful tests to use when assessing risk. Determining models and assays cause much debate amongst experts.
And while pharmacology is providing new techniques to test drug product, companies are managing tight research budgets and even tighter resources.
It is these issues and more which IQPC’s Safety Pharmacology conference addresses in this upcoming event. Focusing on the importance of non-clinical Safety Pharmacology to drug development, the conference is organized into a number of presentations and workshops which will cover a wide range of topics including:
* Opportunities to initiate collaborative studies in addressing safety pharmacology issues * Value of data obtained to the continued development of novel promising new drugs * Expediting the drug development process through safety pharmacology testing * Assessing the latest ICH Guidances and its impact on current studies * Successful criteria for the selection of animal models * Understanding the value of predictive preclinical safety pharmacology assays * Determining how much testing is enough
Companies and organizations presenting at the conference include Merck, Novartis, Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Johns Hopkins University, Forest Research Institute, Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center, Aventis, AstraZeneca, Krannert Institute of Cardiology, Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) Germany, ILSI-HESI, Ohio State University, Calvert Laboratories, and more.
