Introductory Course in Exploratory Medicines Development – Part II

1. Februar 2017 - 3. Februar 2017
AGAH Workshop, Oberursel

This course addresses postgraduates in life sciences interested in early clinical development of medicinal products. Two training parts of 2.5 days each provide a concise overview on Human Pharmacology / Translational Medicine spanning from non-clinical pharmacology and toxicology over first-in-man studies to proof-of-concept clinical trials.

Information

AGAH-Workshop “Introductory Course in Exploratory Medicines Development – Part II”

1. – 3.2.2017 in Oberursel

Introduction and Learning Outcomes

This course addresses postgraduates in life sciences interested in early clinical development of medicinal products. Two training parts of several days provide a concise overview on Human Pharmacology / Translational Medicine spanning from non-clinical pharmacology and toxicology over first-in-man studies to proof-of-concept clinical trials.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of Part II, students should be able to demonstrate an understanding / knowledge of the following:

  • nonclinical pharmacology and toxicology
  • molecular basis of drug actions
  • allometric scaling and dose proportionality assessments based on characteristic PK data
  • defining pharmacodynamic (PD) endpoints and biomarkers
  • differentiating between primary and secondary PK and PD endpoints
  • How to design an early clinical pharmacology developmant plan
  • planning and management of a first-in-man trial
  • principles of data management and information flow
  • principles of reporting and publication
  • principles of medical statistics
  • characteristic issues involved in the development of biologicals and biosimilars
