Summary
This three day course will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the requirements and critical issues of non-clinical studies to support clinical development. You will learn about various topics including special populations, line extensions, predictive value of non-clinical studies, risk assessment of non-clinical studies, CTD Module 4 and the non-clinical part of Module 2.
You will also get an overview of how to put together a Common Technical Document for the non-clinical part of a registration dossier (e.g. CTD Module 2 and 4).
