Current Companion Diagnostic Regulatory Framework in the EU & US
Overview:
This presentation will focus on the major regulatory issues that concerns diagnostic and pharmaceutical partners during co-development of a targeted therapeutic and companion diagnostic.
This will include current development trends related to companion diagnostics, coordination of clinical trials, and the regulatory review of both products in the US and EU. After months of discussions on personalized medicine and the use of companion diagnostics with targeted therapeutics, the much anticipated draft FDA guidance document on in vitro companion diagnostics was finally released by the agency for comments. In contrast, the EU has yet to release any specific guidance on companion diagnostic development and/or finalize changes in the regulatory framework. We will discuss both the impact of the proposed draft guidance issued by the FDA and the expected major changes surrounding companion diagnostic regulation to occur in the EU.
