EMEA Holds Workshop on First-in-Man Clinical Trials Draft Guideline |
With the draft guideline the authority wants to provide support for transitioning "from non-clinical studies, e.g. studies in animals or in vitro studies, to first tests in humans. It describes the principles of a science-based approach ensuring the safety of subjects and respecting ethical principles while allowing for flexibility." For identifying potential risks and for implementing risk management strategies for the phase I clinical trials some criteria have to be considered. These criteria are also covered in the draft guideline. During the public consultation phase these were generally supported. However, it also generated a major debate on the concept of classification of high-risk versus non-high-risk medicinal products. As noted in the release, the EMEA will consider the proposals "to replace it with a risk management and risk mitigation approach based on the concept of risk as a continuum for all medicinal products". The Agenda of the workshop and presentations given can be found here: http://www.emea.europa.eu/postconference.htm The draft guideline can be found here: http://www.emea.europa.eu/pdfs/human/swp/2836707en.pdf Source:
