Academic Events

As a specialist scientific organisation, we hold many challenging events every year.

In a two-year cycle, the AGAH holds an acclaimed scientific congress in Germany, where relevant topics that interest our members are discussed – alternating with a scientific event with one of our partner organisations, AHPPI in UK, Bapu in Belgium or Association Française de Pharmacologie Translationelle (AFPT) -Le Club Phase I in France.

In addition, scientific workshops are held on special topics and there is a yearly national discussion round together with the BfArM, where mostly safety-relevant matters in early-phase clinical studies are discussed. The programme is rounded off with training courses, entitled Introductory or Applied Workshops for young scientists and a training programme specifically for study nurses.

AGAH Mebinar | Pharmakovigilanz – im Anwendungsalltag

Datenquellen, Signale und praktische Umsetzung in Klinik und Forschung

Sep 17 - Sep 17, 2025  |  17:30 – 19:00
Program Information

Pharmakovigilanz ist ein zentrales Thema für alle, die an der Erforschung oder der sicheren Anwendung von Arzneimitteln beteiligt sind. Heute ist der Zugang zu Pharmakovigilanzdaten einfacher denn je, und diese Daten bieten wertvolle Möglichkeiten für die Krankenversorgung ebenso wie für die Arzneimittelentwicklung.

Unser Referent Dr. Ruwen Böhm hat Analysewerkzeuge entwickelt, die sowohl im klinischen Alltag als auch in der Forschung Anwendung finden. In diesem Webinar stellt er praxisnahe Ansätze zur Nutzung von Pharmakovigilanzdaten vor.

Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem Einsatz in der Patientenversorgung: In Ermangelung anderer medizinisch zuverlässiger Quellen, können hier Pharmakovigilanzdaten zur Risikobewertung bei unerwünschten Ereignissen beitragen. Anhand typischer Kliniksituationen wird die automatisierte Risikobeurteilung von Medikationslisten demonstriert, sowie erläutert welche Hypothesen sich aus den Ergebnissen ableiten lassen – aber auch, wo potenzielle methodische Fallstricke lauern. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist der Einsatz von Pharmakovigilanzdaten beim Drug Repurposing. Verschiedene Ansätze werden vorgestellt, darunter:

  • die Suche nach Substanzen mit einem ähnlichen Nebenwirkungsprofil wie etablierte Medikamente in der Zielindikation,
  • die Identifikation von Substanzen, deren Nebenwirkungen den Symptomen der Zielindikation entgegengesetzt sind,
  • sowie die Analyse sogenannter inverser Signale zu Symptomen der Zielindikation.

Bitte reichen Sie Ihre Fragen und Fallbeispiele bis spätestens 03.09.2025 (über die Anmeldeoberfläche) an die AGAH ein!

AGAH Applied Course

Introduction into basic principles of clinical pharmacokinetics

Oct 7 - Oct 8, 2025
Program Information

Pharmacokinetics – prerequisite and at the same time “door opener” for understanding pharmacology!

This workshop, developed by experienced specialists from industry, CRO and consultancy, offers an entrée to physiological background, measures, and characteris-tics of pharmacokinetics. It helps to understand study design and evaluation of PK studies and the conclusions drawn from the results.
The workshop has been developed for clinical investiga-tors, project leaders, project managers and monitors as well as PhD students in industry, hospitals, university and CROs. The knowledge obtained in this applied in-troductory course helps beginners in pharmacokinetics obtaining the basic knowledge and scientific back-ground for professional handling, evaluation, and inter-pretation of PK data.

Toxic Truths and Dosing Dilemmas: Navigating Early CNS Drug Development

Jan 1 - Jan 1, 2026
Program Information

AGAH Workshop on the Early Safety Assessment of CNS-Active Drugs – 
Concepts, Strategies, and Potential Pitfalls


The development of CNS-active drugs presents unique challenges in safety assessment, requiring robust strategies to identify and mitigate risks early in clinical development. This AGAH workshop will provide an in-depth exploration of translational considerations, risk management strategies, and lessons learned - including those that shaped the 2018 revision of the EMA guideline - designed to critically evaluate and refine decision-making in early-phase trials.

Key questions to be discussed include:
1.    Which results from early safety assessments are most robust from a translational perspective?
2.    What strategies best support human risk/benefit assessment in CNS drug development?
3.    How have regulatory guidelines evolved to improve risk mitigation in first-in-human studies?

Preliminary schedule

Thursday
1:00 - 6:00 pm
Friday
8:30 - 1:00 pm

Real-world examples, both discontinued (such as BIA 10-2474) and marketed drugs, will illustrate these key questions. While focusing on CNS-active drugs, the principles and strategies explored in this workshop offer valuable insights applicable across all therapeutic areas.
