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 />
