2012 - Making All Data Count: FDA Acceptance of non-US Clinical Trials

This webinar will help you understand how non-IND clinical trials at non-US locations can be used successfully to support an IND/IDE or a marketing approval application. It will cover the critical product specific issues (drugs, biologics, diagnostic kits and medical devices) that need to be addressed when using non-US data for discussions with FDA.
FDA acceptance criteria for non-IND/IDE clinical trials are based on internationally recognized standards of quality, ethics, and practices for human subject protection. An adequately designed non-US study can be used to greatly reduce the time of cost of getting the tested product to the US market.
