Sessions
1803/1804: GCP Hot Topics
5 March |
14:00-17:30
Session Chairs
Gabriele Schwarz,
Head, GCP Inspection Services, German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical
Devices (BfArM), Germany
Beat Widler, Senior Partner, Widler
& Schiemann, Switzerland
The GCP Hot Topics Sessions that in recent
editions of the EuroMeeting have been bringing together regulators, industry,
CRO and academia professionals who want to get first hand information on newest
trends, has by now become a EuroMeeting tradition.
In 2013 the impact of
changes and evolutions in technology on the conduct and quality management of
clinical trials determine the programme of the GCP Hot Topic session. The focus
will be on electronic health records (EHRs) when used as source documents or
direct input source into clinical trial databases. As a second topic the session
will deal with the challenges presented to sponsors and CROs when clinical trial
activities are outsourced. This topic is not new but becomes increasingly a root
cause of major and critical inspection findings. The program will be completed
by the presentation of the White Paper on protocol violations that has been
authored by the GCP SIAC.
As in other years the roster of international
speakers will involve senior representatives from health authorities, industry
and CROs. The audience is invited to actively participate in the panel
discussions by bringing examples or challenging statements. Delegates can
anonymously submit topic-related questions or cases they would like to be
discussed by the panel in advance to the session chairs via the DIA.
