Two Day Seminar US GCP Fundamentals for Pharmaceutical and Biologic Companies - San Francisco, CA, United States - April 20-21, 2017 - Research and Markets

DUBLIN, Mar 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "US GCP Fundamentals for Pharmaceutical and Biologic Companies" conference to their offering.

This seminar provides an introduction to GCP, with emphasis on the regulations governing drug and biologic clinical trials. (Most of the information is also applicable to medical devices, but specific requirements for device trials are not discussed.) It also covers the essential elements of FDA inspections of Sponsors and CROs, clinical trial sites, and IRBs, provides guidance for how to effectively prepare for and manage these inspections, and how to communicate effectively with the FDA about inspection outcomes.

Since many companies operate clinical trials in a variety of world-wide venues, the course provides an introduction to key guidelines for GCP from the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH), which are used by multiple health regulatory authorities as definitive guidance for GCP compliance. The primary emphasis, however, is placed on FDA requirements.
