Best Practices 2016 - Best Practices for Safety Reporting

Course "Best Practices for Safety Reporting in Clinical Trials for Drugs, Biologics and Medical Devices" has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion.
Overview:
The Food and Drug Administration's Center for Drug Evaluation Research, Center for Biologics Evaluation Research and Center for Devices and Radiological Health are responsible for the approval of drug products, biologics and medical devices industries. This seminar begins with outlining the structural role of the FDA and a brief introduction to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the ACT) and how the FDA uses it to enforce the regulatory requirements during the drug, biologics and medical device approval process. Additionally, this seminar will highlight safety, which is in the FDA's mission statement, by guiding participants on how to develop a data safety monitoring plan and when it is important to use a Data Safety Monitoring Board. Additionally, various safety management practices will be discussed and the importance of creating a functional adverse event database. This seminar will also provide the terminology necessary to establish an adverse event monitoring score and the training requirements for study monitors will be discussed in detail. IND and IDE safety reports, IND annual safety updates and DSUR will be discussed. How to troubleshoot safety events with clinical site principal investigators and how to survive an FDA audit for safety management practices will complete the agenda for this seminar.
Why should you attend:
Since 1970 the regulations for conducting clinical trials has been under the direction of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), more specifically, FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). CDER is the regulatory agency for drug applications, monitoring efficacy, safety and review process during all phases of clinical trials. As defined in its mission statement, "the FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical devices, our nation's food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation." The history of clinical research involving humans introduced the Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) for Trials on Pharmaceutical Products in 1995. GCP is the standard for the design, conduct, performance, monitoring, auditing, recording, analyses and reporting of clinical trial studies. These guidelines set the minimum quality standards for the conduct of clinical research. Compliance with GCP ensures that the rights, safety and well-being of study participants are protected.

Harold Thibodeaux
Research Investigator, Stiefel
Harold Thibodeaux is a medical research scientist with in vivo pharmacological experiences in both academia and biopharmaceutical industry. During his prestigious career the focus of Mr. Thibodeaux's research efforts has been on the efficacy of cardiovascular drugs most notably Hypertension, Myocardial Infarction, Focal Ischemia (Stroke), Beyond Advair Pulmonary Research and topical antibiotics. Optimal therapeutic benefits were the goal in all of these projects but cardiovascular safety to provide safer medicines to patients was a priority. Mr. Thibodeaux transitioned into the pharmaceutical industry when he joined the Cardiovascular Department of Genentech in 1990, as a technical lead with the Second Generation TPA Project Team. Mr. Thibodeaux is a graduate from the College of Charleston with a Bachelor of Science Degree in biology and is a member of The Safety Pharmacology Society.
During his prestigious career, Harold Thibodeaux's ambition and innovation resulted in the successful clinical development of several novel drugs. As a young scientist with Genentech, his contributions to the Second Generation TPA Project were rewarded with the FDA approval of a thrombolytic drug (TNK-TPA or Tenectaplase) that was indicated for Acute Myocardial Infarction. Another notable achievement with the same project team was the approval of Activase Alterplase for Acute Ischemic Stroke Treatment.
As a scientist at Theravance, his innovative models of cardiovascular safety were instrumental in the formation of a Theravance/GlaxoSmithKline Partnership and the development of two clinical candidates for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Both drugs, BREO Ellipta and ANORO Ellipta, were approved by the FDA and are currently providing therapeutic benefits with patients with COPD.
In his role as an investigative scientist with Stiefel, a GlaxoSmithKline Company, Mr. Thibodeaux explored new medical research paths and using his many years of experience in the industry to support project efforts for the reformulations of topical antibiotics, development of models to study acne and writing protocols psoriasis.
During his years of academia and pharmaceutical industry provided an opportunity to authored 23 published articles and discussed his work with poster presentation at major scientific meetings. Harold is proud to have been a medical researcher in both academia and the biopharmaceutical industry and continues to support projects that lead to strategic partnerships that will develop novel drug pipelines for unmet medical needs and present webinars and seminars on drug development to assist pharmaceutical companies achieve their goals.
