Key Safety Assessment Design and Regulatory Considerations

Cell & gene therapies have come of age with nearly a dozen or more products commercialized globally and approximately 1000 clinical trials underway as of the end of 2018. With an evolving regulatory environment and a unique and complex nature, cell and gene therapy candidates present significant development challenges, beginning in the preclinical development phases.

In this webinar, we will focus on nonclinical studies required or expected for IND/IMPD submissions and beyond. Part 2 of our series will describe how advanced therapies are defined and present preclinical study and regulatory/safety considerations and strategies for assessing advanced therapies.

For research scientists and consultants developing cell and gene therapy products, this webinar will provide valuable scientific and regulatory insights as part of an effective and efficient safety assessment development program.
