ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

FDA and Health Canada will be co-hosting a regional public meeting to provide information to stakeholders and solicit input prior to the next ICH Biannual Assembly meeting scheduled for June 4-5, 2024.

This public meeting will include presentations by FDA, Health Canada, PhRMA, and BIO experts on ICH guidelines recently reaching significant ICH milestones. Recently finalized ICH guidelines include analytical validation and analytical procedure development and viral safety evaluation of biotechnology products derived from cell lines of human or animal origin. Additional guidelines expected to be released for public consultation in coming months include post-approval safety data management: definitions and standards for expedited reporting and general principles on plan, design, and analysis of pharmacoepidemiological studies that utilize real-world data for safety assessment of medicines.
