FPM Conversation: In Vitro Diagnostics – Companions or Not?

Wednesday 14 July 2021
16:00 - 18:00

The next in our FPM Conversation Series will take place on 14 July 2021.

This meeting will discuss and debate the rapidly evolving IVDs landscape.

There is increasing adoption of biomarkers and diagnostics/companion-diagnostics in clinical trials and clinical practice, leading to an ever-rising collaboration within and between pharmaceutical companies and in vitro diagnostic medical device manufacturers.

It is important that pharmaceutical physicians and scientists, across a variety of different roles, have an understanding of how the IVD regulatory landscape is continuing to rapidly change and, critically, how Pharmaceutical Companies are adapting by developing new strategies to ensure effective collaborations in the IVDs arena.

This FPM Conversation will enhance your awareness of the major elements of relevant IVD regulation(s) and provide expert perspective on important strategic and practical aspects of developing and implementing IVDs in support of patients.

This FPM Conversation is CPD accredited by FPM for up to 2 CPD Points.
