Summary
This four day course will provide you with an overview of the regulatory aspects of global clinical development processes and the documentation needed for the clinical sections of CTD (Modules 2 and 5). The clinical sections are especially important when completing a marketing authorization of a new product or when labeling a product. The sections are also important in helping you meet the needs of patients and also when marketing the product.
The module is relevant for you if you are a regulatory employee who wishes to gain a better understanding of the interrelationships and complexities in clinical development and the current regulatory requirements for developing a new treatment. Our course also provides clinical development staff with the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the relationship between regulatory and clinical strategies as well as the documents that must be prepared prior to regulatory approval.
Other course participants say:
"The course was well-structured with many really relevant topics and interesting presenters. This course really helps put together the bigger picture when working with clinical development."
Malene Olesen, Senior Regulatory Professional.
"The course was very comprehensive and covered a multitude of aspects related to clinical development and documentation, both through the use of very knowledgeable presenters and workshops. All the course materials was highly relevant for individuals working with this topic."
Peter Gransgaard, Global Regulatory Affairs Manager, Ferring Pharmaceuticals A/S
