– BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND”
Richard Williams, PhD, JD, Executive Strategist, Global Regulatory Affairs, Covance
and
Eric Lang, MD, VP, Early Phase Development Solutions, Covance
July 13 17:30 * Jerusalem, Israel
Pharmaceutical development is both expensive and risky. Less than 1% of the compounds that originate in the labs ever make it to market. Even fewer of these compounds become commercially successful. This panel will focus on the importance of the Target Product Profile (TPP) in pharmaceutical development. The presentations will utilize examples of products that have been developed to facilitate learning about what does and does not work in development. FDA accelerated approval and breakthrough designations will also be discussed.
