SUMMARY:Foundations in Quality for the Life Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Quality is critically important to the success of Life Sciences companies. The Foundations in Quality for the Life Sciences Industry provides presents concepts\, tools and techniques for real world\, on‐the‐job application of quality that is practical for a wide range of organizations. It is targeted for the application of quality in life sciences\, including\, but not limited to: biotechnology\, pharmaceuticals\, biomedical\ntechnologies\, life systems technologies\, nutraceuticals\, cosmeceuticals\, food processing\, environmental\, biomedical devices\, and organizations and institutions that devote the majority of their efforts in the various stages of research\, development\, clinical trials\, manufacturing\, supply chain management\, project management\, technology transfer and commercialization. \nThis course provides an insight into the mindset of Quality along with an overview the concepts\, principles and processes/activities involved in Quality Assurance\, Quality Control\, and Regulatory Compliance within the Life Sciences Industry. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the “business of Biotech; the remit of Global Regulatory Agencies and principles/processes for establishing and enforcing regulation and guidance; Quality management systems\, operations and compliance; Quality leadership; Quality Planning; and Careers in the Quality profession. Students will be exposed to a variety of industry experts during the course. Emphasis will also be placed on current Good Manufacturing Practices\, Good Laboratory Practices and Good Clinical Practices. Students will gain a practical knowledge of Quality as a scientific discipline.

SUMMARY:Rare Disease Research in the United States: Understanding FDA Guidance and Flexibility in the Application of Regulatory Standards
DESCRIPTION:The Orphan Drug Act (ODA) defines a rare disease as a disease or condition that affects less than 200\,000 people in the United States.  Within this range we see conditions like sickle cell disease with a prevalence of over 100\,000\, down to rare genetic diseases that may occur in a handful of patients. As approaches to clinical development are constrained by issues of enrollment and statistical powering\, the categories defined by prevalence distribution (rare\, ultra-rare and uber-rare) require differing approaches within the framework of identical statutory standards for safety and efficacy. At the level of the ultra and uber-rare conditions that make up the majority of rare disease\, there is an unmet need not only for treatments but also for the tools to evaluate whether a given treatment works.\nThis webinar will focus on challenges and areas of flexibility within the application of the statutory standards as they apply to rare diseases. Particular attention will be paid not only to the laws and guidelines that specifically relate to orphan drugs but also how the general regulatory standards that govern safety and efficacy are uniquely applied to rare diseases at different levels of prevalence. \nThis webinar will cover rare disease research: \nCore challenges – knowledge of the disease\, clinical trial design and enrollment and others\nThe legal framework and guidance relevant to rare disease research with case studies focusing on the role of innovative clinical trial design\, Expanded Access data\, and the natural history studies in recent approvals\nStrategies specific to ultra- and uber-rare diseases
