Selecting a Phase I Clinical Trial Site

is being presented by Lorraine S. DeCesare, President, with LS Drug Development, Inc. and airs on Tuesday, August 17th, 2010. For more details or to register, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com

Phase I clinical trials are a critical step in the development program for an investigational product. First-in-man studies are the first step in the development program, but bioequivalency studies and food effect studies can also make or break the life cycle of an investigational product. Phase I studies are very different from Phase II-IV studies; all subjects in a Phase I study participate at the same time and at the time scheduled by the site, whereas in Phase III studies each subject participates on his own schedule. All activities in a Phase I study are conducted relative to the time of dosing and are usually minutes rather than days or even weeks apart as in Phase III studies.

This audio conference discusses the critical areas in selection of a clinical trial site for the conduct of Phase I studies, be they complex first-in-man studies or more routine bioequivalence studies.

CGMP Guidance for Phase 1 Clinical Supplies

is being presented by Marion Weinreb, President, of Marion Weinreb & Associates, Inc. and airs on Tuesday, June 15th, 2010. For more details or to register please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com

The new FDA guidance document for Phase 1 clinical supplies is significant because it will enable companies (large and small) to move faster through their clinical manufacturing process, while not being bogged down with complying with all aspects of 21CFR Part 211. FDA realized that the CGMPs should not have been enforced for Phase 1 clinical supplies. This guidance document focuses primarily on controls that prevent adulteration and misbranding of the Phase 1 clinical supplies. It allows flexibility in implementing the controls needed to achieve those goals. In this audio conference, our speaker reviews the guidelines, identifies the types of SOPs and controls that are needed, and identifies for the virtual company, what types of SOPs are needed to deal with vendor relationships.

Recent Perspectives on Trial Design - Minimizing Patients for Oncology Trials

is being presented by Dr. John Constant, Vice President Scientific Affairs, with PRA International and airs on Wednesday, May 26th, 2010. For more details or to register, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com

Oncology trials have long been at the forefront of novel design thinking, due in part to the extreme needs and historically toxic or complex therapies for cancer. With the regulatory Critical Path Initiatives and the general urgent need for more efficient clinical development adaptive and other patient – efficient designs are continuing to receive increasing attention and FDA has recently published their long-awaited Guidance on adaptive designs. This session will overview recent developments in oncology design thinking and issues related to adaptive, single arm and Phase I/II designs as used in practice in oncology trials.

Phase I Studies with Hepatitis C Compounds in Healthy Volunteers and Patients - Views from Inside

New Chemical Entities (NCEs) that increase the percentage of sustained viral response with current standard treatment for hepatitis C have great marketing potential. Protease inhibitors, polymerase inhibitors, interferons, enzyme inhibitors, viral entry blockers, TLR agonists and oligonucleotides all seek to be included in the future armamentarium. Whether these different classes of compounds can fit together and lead to a successful combination treatment is still unknown. Registration of these NCEs is a long and arduous path, with no guarantee of success.

Drawing on his expertise and 19 years of experience, in this audio conference Dr. van Vliet provides an inside look at opportunities and obstacles when developing a hepatitis C compound, and discusses the critical steps necessary to optimize the chances of the NCE -- condensed Phase I development programs, subsequent proof of concept studies to verify efficacy, and competition for patients versus Phase III trials.

Phase I Studies with Hepatitis C Compounds in Healthy Volunteers and Patients - Views from Inside is being presented by Dr. Andre van Vliet, Vice President of Medical Affairs, Early Development Services, with PRA International and airs on Tuesday, April 14, 2009.
