Program Description

Goal: SoCRA is pleased to announce this conference that is jointly sponsored with District/Regional offices of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This conference on FDA’s clinical trial requirements is designed to aid the Clinical Research Professional’s understanding of the mission, responsibilities and authority of the FDA and to facilitate interaction with FDA representatives.

Objective: This two-day conference is intended to share information among FDA representatives and the regulated community, to facilitate the understanding of regulations, guidelines and practices, and to suggest methods and opportunities to enhance the research professional’s product development experience. The program will focus on the relationships among the FDA and clinical trial staff, investigators and IRBs. The workshop will highlight three areas that present challenges to sponsors and investigational sites: FDA Clinical Research Requirements, Enhancing Success through Communication and Financial Incentives, and Assuring Confidence in Clinical Research.

Learning Objectives: Upon completion of the conference, the attendee should be able to:

  • Discuss the Role of the FDA District Offices, how they are Structured and their Responsibilities
  • Describe what FDA Expects in a Pharmaceutical Clinical Trial
  • Discuss the Science, Regulation and Assessment of Adverse Events

  • Describe the Regulations that Apply to the Informed Consent Process
