Course content
This course introduces the concept of Good Clinical Practice (GCP), with focus on documentation through all phases of clinical development, from first studies in humans, exploratory studies, confirmatory studies and post marketing studies.
You will be taught how early studies are conducted to best support the design of the confirmatory studies (i.e. phase III trials). The design of early studies, will discuss design of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics studies.
You will be given an overview of regulatory and clinical guidelines and how to apply these during clinical development.
Moreover, the course will focus on clinical study protocols, reporting study results, benefit-risk assessment, summaries of clinical data and product information, specifically labelling of drugs, which makes up the clinical documentation submitted to health authorities for approval.
At last, the course introduces regulatory strategy and interaction with health authorities to discuss the clinical development as part of the regulatory process to ensure a successful drug development.
