Exhibitor Hosted Sessions

Session Title: Is Your Drug Ready for an IND Submission? What Studies are Needed?

Session Description: The intricacies of determining drug readiness, navigating the complexities of preclinical challenges and harnessing the prowess of testing partners highlight the importance of a meticulous approach. As we look to the future, it is not difficult to imagine a time when technological advances will complement traditional in vivo models, where real-time data analytics could offer instantaneous insights, and where collaboration between global regulators streamlines a drug’s journey from labs to markets. Drug developers, sponsors, and testing partners, bound by the common goal of bringing safe, effective treatments to patients, must remember that their collective commitment in these initial phases can shape the health and well-being of countless patients in the future.

Session Title: Biocompatibility and Toxicological Risk Assessment Strategies for Absorbable Devices

Session Description: Medical devices engineered for absorption pose unique challenges for extract-based biocompatibility and chemistry studies as well as long term implantation studies. Potential exposure risks can be influenced by degradation profiles, materials, and intended use, resulting in non-standard sample preparations and/or biocompatibility test plans. A case study will be presented to highlight the application of these strategies.

Session Title: Development Challenges and Regulatory Changes for Cell and Gene Therapies

Session Description: Cell and gene therapies are a rapidly growing field of development, but this popularity has also contributed to manufacturing, testing and regulatory challenges. By understanding the barriers at hand and communicating with regulators through pre-submission meetings, drug sponsors can mitigate delays and keep development timelines on track for cell and gene therapies.
