The Center for Business Intelligence announces The 2nd Annual Forum on Pharmaceutical Risk Management

Woburn, MA – The Center for Business Intelligence (CBI), in Association with REGISTRAT, will hold The 2nd Annual Forum on Pharmaceutical Risk Management on March 16-17, 2006 at the Crowne Plaza Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA.

The biggest fear in the industry right now is product liability lawsuits. Due to the highly publicized events regarding drug withdrawals, companies need to implement risk management programs that allow better detection and adverse event reporting in the clinical and post-marketing stages. This need is augmented by the FDA’s new draft guidance, which requires drug companies to conduct additional post-marketing studies.

Industry leaders from Abbot Laboratories, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, Genzyme, GlasoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson R&D, King Pharmaceuticals Inc., Pfizer, Wyeth Research and more, present industry perspectives and case studies regarding dynamics involved in risk management programs and how to successfully implement risk management during the product life cycle.

Topics of presentation include:

• Registry use for safety surveillance, risk management and product support
• Risk assessment from pre-clinical to clinical
• An Update on the FDA’s drug safety oversight board
• Risk assessment leverage and management in drug development
• The role of large, streamlined trials and registries in risk management
• Overcoming the special challenges of implementing safety surveillance studies
• Reintroducing Lotronex—an exercise in behavior modification
• Benefit Assesment and Benefit/Risk Balance
