Event Overview:

The new clinical trial regulation EU 536/2014 was enacted in 2014 with two clear objectives – make the EU more attractive for clinical trials and improve the quality of the study material submitted to EMA.

Time will tell if they are successful in attracting more clinical studies, but it is clear that if the quality of submissions does not improve it will have a measurable negative impact not just on European study timelines, but more importantly on global study timelines.

To streamline the European submission process, the regulation requires all EU countries to use the CTIS submission system, simplifying the process to get a clinical trial fully operational. To heavily incentivize high-quality submissions there are very severe (3, 6, 9… months) time penalties if a submission fails on the initial or subsequent submission. One current common occurrence that can cause such a delay is protocol amendments from submission to countries outside the EU.

This means that you must coordinate all global study submissions or the overall study timeline will incur these time penalties.

Key Learning Objectives:

• What it requires to have the necessary oversight of the global submissions to avoid incurring global study time penalties.
• What are the most critical global business roles to manage successful EU submissions.
• What new system features are required to attain successful EU submissions.
• Details on why EU 536/2014 will require coordinated, detailed global and EMEA planning and management.

Who Should Attend:

• Sponsor and CRO roles who are responsible for:
  • Clinical development planning
  • Global, EMEA and country project management of studies, process optimization, and operational excellence
  • Country and site identification, selection, study package contracting, and site documentation
  • EMA regulatory submissions
• US Central IRBs roles who are responsible for generating study content for IRB submission of global studies.
