WEBCAST: Understanding the Draft Guidance on Postmarketing Safety Reporting for Combination Products

When:  May 31, 2018 from 09:00 to 15:00 (ET)

On 20 December 2016, FDA issued its much-anticipated Final Rule on Postmarketing Safety Reporting for Combination Products.  While the rule provides several clarifications from the proposed rule, certain challenges remain with respect to effective implementation of its requirements. Offered in collaboration with the Combination Products Coalition (CPC), this program provides the unique opportunity to work with representatives from FDA, as well as Industry veterans, to examine the Final Rule and find out what your company needs to do to be in compliance by the rule’s effective date of 19 July 2018.

What to expect: 

During the webcast you will hear directly from FDA experts regarding key takeaways from the Final Rule, the Agency’s interpretation of the applicable requirements, and other important topics to anyone who works in this space. This is your chance to work through any questions you might have about the Final Rule, and let FDA know where additional gaps may exist.  

Working in small groups facilitated by Industry experts from the CPC, you will use a case study approach to explore concepts from the Final Rule, identify best practices for effective implementation, and note areas where additional clarity from FDA would be beneficial. The findings from these case study sessions will be presented to the broader audience, including FDA, and will be topics for discussion in a closing roundtable session.  Don’t miss this crucial opportunity to provide input on these pivotal issues that could affect you for years to come.
