The EU legislative framework is currently undergoing a period of substantial change to react to a seismic shift in scientific and technological advancements. 


During this three-part webinar series, we covered three key areas sponsors must be mindful of during drug development in preparation for filing successful regulators submissions: decentralized clinical trials, CMC requirements for first-in-human trials and cell and gene therapy. Watch these webinars, delivered by experts in the field, to make your processes more efficient, compliant and competitive in an evolving landscape.

Regulatory and CMC Considerations for Cell and Gene Therapy Commercialization

The rapid expansion of the cell and gene therapy pipelines in recent years offers significant potential to cure diseases with great unmet medical need. However, the unique nature of these therapies poses challenges to regulating them within traditional frameworks and regulatory expertise is not uniform across regions.

This webinar will provide key advice for determining and navigating the regulatory pathway for any cell and gene therapy, including the following:

  • Early, proactive engagement with the established regulatory authorities that specialize in the evaluation of cell and gene therapies
  • The key components of programs to accelerate application review within major regulatory jurisdictions
  • Critical considerations for site selection and CMC development of viral vectors for cell and gene therapies

The Future Of Decentralized Clinical Trials In An Evolving EU Regulatory Landscape

The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the feasibility of adapting clinical trials from site-based endeavors to fully decentralized or hybrid models and has increased global acceptance of decentralized trials as a safe and effective option for accelerating clinical research. Enabled by digital, technological, and logistical innovations, decentralized clinical trials offer advantages to both patients and sponsors that will endure beyond the pandemic. In addition to the development of a well-conceived operating model, successful implementation of partially or fully decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) requires a cohesive, coordinated regulatory strategy.

This webinar will review the regulatory and geographic factors that can influence the adoption of DCTs, and provide a roadmap for implementing these trials within the current legal environment in Europe. It will address the critical importance of:

  • Advantages of DCTs for patients and sponsors, as well as increased operational (and thus research cost) efficiency
  • The nuances of the evolving EU regulatory landscape and how to ensure compliance with differing good clinical practice (GCP) requirements and relevant legislation at national levels
  • The importance of a robust and secure technology architecture for trial related data acquisition, storage, and communication
  • How to implement a drug distribution and management strategy that meets all stability, storage, and dosing access and administration requirements

Entering First-In-Human Clinical Trials: A 5-point Strategy For Robust CMC Dossiers

Getting biological drug products to first-in-human (FIH) trials requires a deep and nuanced understanding of the scientific and regulatory challenges unique to these complex large molecule substances. Prioritizing regulatory CMC guidance and careful preparation of quality dossiers are integral to success from the very early stages and throughout clinical development. A robust CMC package provides health authorities with the information to assess the quality of material entering clinical trials. Inadequate CMC supportive evidence or insufficient detail can delay the go-ahead to enter the clinic. At the same time, unnecessary granularity can impact the lifecycle management of the dossier.

This webinar discusses the five strategies to implement to build a robust CMC package, help streamline the path to FIH trials for biologics and establish the quality foundation needed to support all of the development phases toward commercialization:

  • Including regulatory CMC in early development teams
  • Keeping patient and clinical experience in mind
  • Building a phase-appropriate dossier
  • Considering and conveying the basis for the strategy
  • Obtaining regulatory advice at every opportunity
