Launching a New Medicine (Training Workshop)



This online training workshop will take you through the processes of launching a new medicine - looking at various aspects from what evidence needs to be collected and why, and the regulator perspectives on what makes a drug a drug.


The workshop is newly developed and is geared towards a wide audience from pharmacologists to drug discovery scientists to regulators. It provides an introduction to the subject and goes further and so it is suitable for those new to the topic, as well as more experiences professionals.

The workshop will provide you with hands-on learning, and is discussion- and tutorial-based.

Topics

  • Non-clinical evidence
  • Evidence needed for regulatory approval and decision making boards for new medicine filing
  • Clinical Trial Authorisation (CTA) submission
  • Investigators brochure - core content and aim
  • Investigational Medical Procurement Dossier (IMPD)
  • Gaps in data – approached with a holistic view
  • Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) perspective – when can clinical trials start
  • Evidence base (non-clinical TOC, Pharmacokinetics (PK), translational medicine, 'Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls' (CMC)) – do these four combine to demonstrate success in humans?
  • Market Authorisation Application (MAA)
  • European Medicines Agency (EMA) and MHRA Assessors
  • How and why all information needs to be on the label, both good and bad
The session will mostly focus on aspects such as ideas and processes, as opposed to scientific aspects.
