Reasons to attend

The safety of the subject in any clinical trial is of paramount consideration. First in Human (FIH) studies are special in this case as no data is available on how the investigational product will react in the human body. Preclinical data needs to be adequate to allow translation into a clinical study complying with all medical, scientific, ethical, and regulatory aspects. Historical cases have shown that bridging preclinical and clinical has not always been adequate. The gap needs to be understood first and then strategies need to be developed to enable a smooth translation of the preclinical data of “research in animals” to the clinical research with First in Human studies.

Course Description

This course highlights the various considerations to be considered while moving from preclinical research to clinical development in humans. It enables a bidirectional transfer of knowledge and research, making the transition into clinical research smooth and effective. The first part of the course will be spent describing the preclinical perspective (toxicology and manufacturing) including a workshop. The second part will focus on the clinical side of development, including First in Human study design, submission to authorities, the regulator’s perspective, and maintaining quality throughout the process. You will be able to put your newly gained knowledge immediately into practice as the trainers will guide you to take a new compound through the entire process.
