DIA's Advertising and Promotion Regulatory Affairs Conference explores the current state of compliance for marketing both biopharmaceuticals and medical devices. Join thought leaders from industry, legal, public affairs, and government for interactive and compelling discussions that will shape policy and define strategic priorities within the advertising and promotion regulatory space. Representatives from across FDA’s Medical Product Offices will provide the latest information on guidance policies, enforcement actions, and future directions of industry hot topics such as pre-approval activities, labeling strategies, and social media tactics.

This conference is geared towards both early and late-career professionals with content that advances the understanding of current regulatory policies, details the latest strategies for effective patient engagement, and discusses the trends in advertising for biopharmaceuticals, combo products and companion diagnostics. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with key thought leaders from the FDA, industry, and other regulatory practitioners, while simultaneously discussing the challenges and opportunities of marketing pharmaceuticals and medical devices today.

Keynote Address Announced!

The Patient Voice: Message and Impact on Healthcare

Theresa Mullin, PhD, Associate Director for Strategic Initiatives, OCD, CDER FDA, United States

May 18 | 10:30-11:00AM
FDA recognizes that the patient perspective on new drug benefits and risks, and whether the disease burdens that matter most are addressed, is critically informative to regulatory decision-making. Drug development programs have often failed to explicitly account for the disease burdens and treatment burdens that would matter most to patients and fail to reliably measure these effects in clinical trials. FDA expects drug sponsors to incorporate the patient’s perspective starting early in development to ensure that the investigational product profile and development program incorporate clinical outcomes and endpoints that reflect what matters to patients. This session describes the background and content of a new FDA guidance series to foster patient focused drug development and sponsor use of such outcomes and endpoints. Reliable measures of what matters to patients and evidence of meaningful improvement will not only inform FDA decision making but may also better inform the decisions of other health authorities (e.g., HTA and payors).
