Session 4 Track A: Enhancing Innovation
Session Chair(s)
Rocelyn DelCarmen
Director, Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance
Astrazeneca Canada Inc., Canada
Encouraging an environment in which innovation thrives is a priority for government and for industry alike. The regulatory processes that govern the conduct of business within the pharmaceutical sector must be aligned to achieve this goal, as well as being competitive with other similar jurisdictions to attract, retain, and deliver innovative health care solutions to the Canadian population. This session will discuss potential and upcoming changes to the Canadian regulatory framework to support faster access to new innovations. Health Canada and industry speakers will discuss options to close the gaps in the current regulatory framework and processes surrounding new product submissions to enable faster access to new therapies (e.g. Stop clock mechanism, introducing data during review, cost recovery and target timeline impact, use of external experts, and incorporating the patient perspective).
