When a company has a product in development, whether drug, device or biotech, what they can — and can’t — say about it is tightly regulated by the FDA.
At the same time, the SEC requires that information of material value to investors be properly disclosed to them.
Of course, this SEC requirement involves exactly the same products manufacturers have in the pipeline, the ones that the FDA wants them to be very careful about discussing.
How do manufacturers balance these seemingly contradictory demands?
And further, how do they correctly use all the forms of “communication” available today, including tweets, talking points, press releases, presentations to investors and even "likes" on Facebook?
On Tuesday, Aug. 18, FDAnews will present two top attorneys — and experts on these topics — from nationally-recognized law firm Alston & Bird in a webinar titled Talking About Your Product Pipeline: How FDA and SEC Regulate Life Sciences Communications.
Firm partners Julie Tibbets and Matthew Mamak will discuss and comment on the tricky issues surrounding the laws and regulations the FDA and SEC must enforce.
In just 90 minutes, attendees will gain a fuller understanding of what exactly their responsibilities are and how to execute them without making mistakes that could damage the company's reputation and bottom line.
Ms. Tibbets and Mr. Mamak will also provide specifics that will help attendees navigate their way through these treacherous regulatory waters:
• 6 do’s and 6 don’ts for speaking publicly about a product in development
• 4 do’s and 3 don’ts when talking with analysts and investors
• Examples from case studies about communication that resulted in FDA enforcement actions, SEC penalties, and investor lawsuits
At the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to confidently account for the various perspectives — regulators on both sides, investors and the general public — and ensure the right people get the information they should every time.
