Facets of Drug-Induced Kidney Injury and Regulatory Perspective

Overview

Continuing Education credits are not available for the archived offering.
This archived webinar is available for purchase through November 1, 2015.
Broadcast time: 1 hour 25 minutes


Drug-Induced Organ Injury Series

Establishing safety of new drug candidates remains a major challenge at every stage of the development process.  This webinar series will focus on drug injury to the heart and kidney, and will explore the use of biomarkers as tools and the regulatory history on biomarker use. Additional insight will be provided on the assessment of proarrhythmia risk and the clinical assessment of risk. This webinar series should be attended by all those with responsibilities that span the entire life cycle of a drug, whether those responsibilities are directly in drug safety or are in related departments.

The “Drug-Induced Injury of the Liver, Heart, Kidney, and Skin: Employing Recent Advances to Improve Patient Safety and Speed Up the Pipeline” meeting took place in May 2014. These webinars are based on sessions from the meeting.

Program committee members, Pradip K. Paul, MD, MS, Strategic Pharmacovigilance and Risk Management; William W. Gregory, PhD; Pfizer; Norman Stockbridge, MD, PhD, OND, CDER, FDA, and Aliza M. Thompson, MD, OND, CDER, FDA spearheaded this initiative to continue the conversation on these very important and timely topics. We hope you all take advantage of this opportunity to participate in one or all of the upcoming webinars.

About this series.

Facets of Drug-Induced Kidney Injury and Regulatory Perspective

This webinar will describe how novel translational kidney safety biomarkers may be important new tools for distinguishing between altered kidney function (due to altered renal hemodynamics and inhibition of specific renal transporters) and acute kidney injury, providing an advantage over serum creatinine alone. Clinical data as well as data from animal toxicology studies of drugs with pharmacodynamic activity on renal blood flow and glomerular filtration and the association of novel translational kidney safety biomarkers with acute and chronic kidney injury will be presented. The regulatory history of the preclinical renal biomarker qualification and perspective on the utility of renal safety biomarkers in drug development will also be discussed during the webinar.
