The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in collaboration with the University of Maryland Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (M-CERSI) will host a two-day virtual public workshop entitled “Fetal Pharmacology and Therapeutics” on October 21-22, 2021 to discuss the current state of fetal pharmacology and therapeutics and how it pertains to pediatric drug development.
Day 1:
Thu, Oct 21 10:00 AM – 3:15 PM ET
Day 2:
Fri, Oct 22 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM ET
Fetal pharmacology has made significant advances in recent years and has moved into the “clinical science” space with considerations for both fetal therapeutics allowing in-utero treatment of the fetus to avert postnatal disease as well as aversion of fetal toxicity from in-utero exposure to drugs following medications administered to the pregnant woman. This advance in knowledge requires addressing both the regulatory and scientific aspects of fetal pharmacology.
Workshop objectives:
-
Review general regulatory and ethical considerations for fetal pharmacology and therapeutics
-
Describe methods to assess clinical and nonclinical safety and efficacy assessments to support clinical trials of drugs in pregnancy and the fetus
-
Highlight advances and existing knowledge in fetal therapeutics
-
Discuss key aspects of maternal-fetal modeling and simulation
Registration:
You may register for remote access. This workshop is intended for clinicians, academicians, drug developers, and regulators.
