Course Description
Once a medicinal product receives marketing authorisation, the journey is far from over. Increasingly, regulators, payers, and healthcare providers demand continued evidence of a product’s safety, effectiveness, and value in real-world use. This course provides a comprehensive overview of the strategic, operational, and regulatory aspects of post-marketing studies and real-world evidence (RWE) generation.Designed for professionals involved in lifecycle management, pharmacovigilance, compliance, and local study execution, the course explores how companies can fulfil post-approval commitments while generating insights that support decision-making across the product lifecycle. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the types and purposes of post-marketing studies (e.g. PASS, PAES), how to navigate evolving regulatory requirements across regions, and how to leverage real-world data to support safety monitoring, risk minimisation, and health technology assessments.
With a focus on practical application, the course will also cover how to design and manage post-authorisation studies effectively, engage stakeholders (including regulators and affiliates), and align evidence strategies with local and global obligations. Real-life examples and case studies will illustrate how RWE can be used not only to maintain compliance, but to demonstrate the continued value of medicines in diverse healthcare settings.
Whether you're new to post-marketing studies or looking to refine your RWE strategy, this course equips you with the knowledge and tools to confidently support product success after approval.
