JW McBlane, Clinical Assessor, MHRA will be giving an exclusive insight into the agency’s views of the new ICH S9 guidelines. His case study, Early Stage Clinical Trials In Patients With Advanced Cancer – ICH S9 And Recent Regulatory Developments, is part of the 2nd Annual Clinical Development in Oncology conference, taking place in London, 15-16 March 2011.
This update will allow specialists to begin trials on the basis of reduced preclinical data sets and understand what the UK agency deems acceptable. The case study will explain how to minimize the trial time and ensure first time regulatory approval.
It will also highlight the differences regarding the approach to trials in patients with advanced cancer and explain what preclinical data are essential to support initial clinical exposure. The case study will close with real-life examples based on MHRA experience.
Other related topics cover on the event will include:
