Summary
This course will help you understand the preclinical and clinical aspects of pharmacovigilance, including preclinical safety studies. You will also learn about decisions for safety margins and first-dose-in-man, safety principles in phase I, II and III studies, and regulations for safety assessments.
After the course, you will be able to analyze the different pre-application tasks related to preparing clinical study protocols, annual safety reports (SUSARs), integrated clinical study reports and scientific advice in relation to the preparation of clinical trial applications (e.g. endpoints, statistical power, safety parameters, etc.) as well as the pre-application tasks related to conducting clinical studies.
The course is offered every 2 years.
OTHER COURSE PARTICIPANTS SAY:
"It was a very good course. Well-prepared and with good lectures. It gives a good understanding of the pre-cinical phase which is relevant for assessing data when working in PV."
