CDISC Welcomes Global Regulatory Representatives, CDISC Experts and Innovators to 2015 CDISC Europe and Japan Interchanges
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) April 16, 2015 -- The Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) is pleased to announce the participation of high-level representatives from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Japan Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), as well as CDISC experts and innovators from industry and academia at the 2015 CDISC Europe and Japan Interchanges. These educational and networking conferences will be held 04-08 May in Basel, Switzerland, and 22-26 June in Tokyo, Japan, respectively.
Representatives from the EMA, FDA and PMDA will be on-hand at the 2015 CDISC Europe Interchange to provide updates on the review processes from the perspective of their respective regulatory agencies. Additionally, this Interchange offers the singular opportunity to join a one-day “FDA Workshop,” where attendees will have the opportunity to experience the NDA/BLA submission and review process from end-to-end through the use of lecture, various media, demonstrations and hands-on activities.
At this Interchange, a wide selection of CDISC Authorized Education courses will be available. Courses to be offered include Healthcare Link, where attendees learn about integration profiles developed by CDISC and its sister organization, Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE), and how these profiles can bridge the gap between the EHR and EDC; the CDISC SEND Implementation course, which is designed for individuals in non-clinical and pre-clinical research; and courses on such Foundational Standards as SDTM, ADaM, CDASH and others. Online registration for the 2015 CDISC Europe Interchange ends 20 April 2015 and can be accessed here.
The 2015 CDISC Japan Interchange will have presentations given by representatives from both the Japan PMDA and US FDA, followed by Q&A panel discussions with high-level participants from these regulatory authorities. Representatives from the Japan Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association (JPMA), the Japan CRO Association (JCROA), members of the CDISC Board of Directors, and senior CDISC staff will also be presenting at this event. The Japan Interchange will also have sessions focused on best practices in CDISC standards implementation and regulatory submissions, and all sessions offer simultaneous translation in Japanese and English.
CDISC Authorized Education courses will also be offered at the Tokyo conference, including such courses as SDTM Theory and Application, ODM Implementation, Define and Dataset-XML, Controlled Terminology, and ADaM Implementation. Online registration for the 2015 CDISC Japan Interchange will close on 08 June 2015 and can be accessed here.
