6th DIA China Annual Meeting

Risk assessment occurs throughout a product’s lifecycle, from the early identification of a potential product, through the premarketing development process, and after approval during marketing. Premarketing risk assessment is particularly important as the assessment of underlying risks and benefits during the premarketing period is critical to the regulatory authority’s decision on product approval. Moreover, safety is the predominant reason why products are withdrawn from the marketplace, and Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI) remains the most common single cause of safety-related drug marketing withdrawals, as it has been for the past 50 years. This session is intended to share views from the perspective of industry, academia and regulatory authority on premarketing assessment of liver toxicity, provide an overview on DILI risk assessment and management in clinical development program, and give an update on the advances in DILI research worldwide and nationwide.
