As the demand for information outside of approved labeling continues to rise, the FDA has been called by the industry to provide guidance that governs off-label communications. The regulatory landscape that monitors this space is often blamed for limiting the amount of information received by patients and restricting their ability to make well-informed decisions. Given the public health issues at stake and the public interest involved, it is imperative that this event details the importance of the timely communication of truthful scientific information that currently challenges pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device professionals. The 2018 Off-Label Regulatory Compliance Congress also explores…

During clinical trials, inspections provide a framework to ensure quality and integrity of care, data and drug performance. As sponsors of clinical trials, it is important for pharmaceutical companies to ensure GCP guidelines are upheld by implementing inspection readiness. These inspections, often conducted by the FDA, EMA, MHRA and other regulatory authorities, all have unique regulations and caveats. These nuances mean that becoming — and remaining — inspection-ready can be a difficult, time-consuming battle. Because inspections can occur without notice, sites must be prepared for visits from many different stakeholders over the course of a clinical trial. Join the 4th…

Regulation proposals of the European Commission Background In 2012, the Commission adopted a package of measures on innovation in health. The package consisted of a Communication and two regulation proposals to revise existing legislation on general medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices. In particular, the Directives on active implantable medical devices (90/385/EEC) and on medical devices (93/42/EEC) are intended to be replaced by a Regulation on medical devices, while the Directive on in-vitro diagnostic medical devices (98/79/EC) is intended to be replaced by a Regulation on the same subject. The revisions therefore affected all kinds of medical devices…

Course "FDA Scrutiny of Promotion and Advertising Practices" has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion. Overview: If you go "off label" with advertising and promotion, FDA's hammer can hit hard and seemingly out of the blue. Advertising and promotion for devices is weak and lacks legal clarity. For drugs, the regulations are prescriptive and guidance documents clamp down on nuances. Marketing and regulatory affairs departments must collaborate to avoid the hammer and penalties of FDA. The roadblock, however is that marketing managers and regulatory affairs managers rarely…
