REGULATORY IT STRATEGIES & STANDARDS BODIES- IS THERE A<br />
COALESCENCE? WHAT SHOULD THE NEXT INNOVATION BE TO ENHANCE<br />
PATIENT SAFETY?<br />
Session Chair:<br />
John Balian, Senior Vice <strong>Pre</strong>sident, Head of Global Pharmacovigilance &<br />
Epidemiology, Bristol-Myers Squibb, USA<br />
"Drug safety is a foundation of drug regulation," stated CDER Director, Dr. Janet<br />
Woodcock. Recent FDA guidances, press releases, and public pronouncements<br />
have made a point of making public its commitment to drug safety. The<br />
European Medicines Agency and the FDA have a broader vision for safety<br />
standards and surveillance. From potential changes in coding to SnoMed to the<br />
adoption of the HL7 (RIM) Reference information model, to the imposition of<br />
steep fines when REMS not implemented, an innovative model is needed for the<br />
industry to meet the increasingly challenging environment.<br />

META-ANALYSIS FOR EVALUATION OF RISKS IN NEW TREATMENTS<br />
Session Chair:<br />
Joachim Vollmar, Executive Consultant, International Clinical Development<br />
Consultants LLC, USA<br />
Recently, the FDA issued a Guidance for Industry on "Evaluating Cardiovascular<br />
Risk in New Antidiabetic Therapies to Treat Type 2 Diabetes". It is requested<br />
that sponsors perform a meta-analysis of cardiovascular events across phase 2<br />
and 3 controlled clinical trials and explore similarities and/or differences in<br />
subgroups. Before submission of the NDA/BLA the incidence of important<br />
cardiovascular events occurring with the investigational agent and with the<br />
control group are to be compared. This session will describe the basic statistical<br />
concepts and implications, present the FDA's and European Agency's view and<br />
have a panel discussion with clinicians, pharmacovigilance experts and<br />
statisticians.<br />
