Session 4 Track A & B: Evaluation of QT Prolongation Potential and Assessment of Immunogenicity
Session Chair(s)
Hobart Rogers, PharmD, PhD
Pharmacologist
FDA, United States
Scott Henry, PhD
Vice President, Nonclinical Development
Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., United States
Oligonucleotide therapeutics have unique characteristics that often require differential pre-clinical and clinical assessment compared to small molecules. This session will address two of these topics: Topic One will focus on the nonclinical and clinical aspects of the assessment of QT prolongation potential; Topic Two will focus on the evaluation of the nonclinical and clinical aspects regarding immunogenicity. Both topics will have perspective presentations from both industry and regulatory speakers. Following the presentations, a joint panel will convene to further discuss these topics with implications for guiding future regulatory oversight.
