Presentation Slides
The road to regulatory approval for biotech drugs and devices is littered with cases of failure and lost opportunities. Many of these failures can be attributable to the implementation of unrealistic or inappropriate regulatory strategies.
At this BioE2E event, we will aim to provide bioentrepeneurs with a high-level framework in which to select the optimal path to achieving BOTH regulatory agency approval and commercial/clinical success for their products.
Experienced panelists from both the biotech and medical devices industry will share their experiences into avoiding potential pitfalls as well as provide thoughts regarding key drivers for a successful regulatory strategy.
Topics will include:
- Defining the drug/device label
- Key parameters in crafting a clinical regulatory strategy
- Risk of failure
- Cost
- Target market size
- Time to market
- Flexibility
- Life cycle planning
- Managing your relationship with the FDA
- Reimbursement
- Common misconceptions/pitfalls
- Alternative regulatory tracks
- Orphan Drug pathway
- Fast Track
- Accelerated Approval
- Other
- Overseas markets and geographic considerations
- Where to get more information
Networking session will follow.
