Book Description
Pharmaceuticals companies, biotech companies, and CROs, regardless of size, all face the same challenge of managing costs and operational execution associated with bringing a valuable drugs and devices to market. Because of timeline pressures and cost as well as the growing interest in "neglected diseases" and diseases affecting the emerging nations, clinical trials are increasingly conducted in emerging markets and developing countries where infrastructure, leadership, skilled personnel and a governance are at a premium. Working with academics, regulatory professionals, safety officers, experts from the pharma industry and CROs, the editors have put together this up-to-date, step-by-step guide book to building and enhancing global clinical trial capacity in emerging markets and developing countries. This book covers the design, conduct, and tools to build and/or enhance human capacity to execute such trials, appealing to individuals in health ministries, pharmaceutical companies, world health organizations, academia, industry, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who are managing global clinical trials. Gives medical professionals the business tools needed to effectively execute clinical trials throughout the world Provides real world international examples which illustrate the practical translation of principles Includes forms, templates, and additional references for standardization in a number of global scenarios

Global Clinical Trials for Alzheimer’s Disease
Author: Sidney A. Spector
Publisher: Elsevier Inc. Chapters
ISBN: 0128070560
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 15
Book Description
Decades ago, pharmacogenetic research established that one’s genetic profile might predict efficacy and safety of medicines. Polymorphic expression of isoenzymes of the cytochrome P-450 enzyme system explains a significant amount of the variability of inter-individual responses to medicines. In Alzheimer’s disease, the highly variable clinical response to cholinesterase inhibitors metabolized by the liver is explained on this basis. More recently, translation of basic pharmacogenomic research through the drug development process has led to the approval of ”personalized“ medicines, for example, in the field of oncology, cardiology and psychiatry, based on an individual’s underlying genotypic variance of phenotypically expressed pathogenic targets and pathways. Translational pharmacogenomic research in Alzheimer’s disease has emerged as a viable alternative to the study of large populations with similar phenotypic expression of symptoms through stratification of sub-groups based on ApoE carrier status in clinical trials. When initiating a global research protocol, it is incumbent upon sponsors to actively engage stakeholders in developing and underdeveloped countries, including local government authorities, regulatory bodies, ethics review boards, community representatives and participants, to address all aspects of the clinical trial, especially informed consent, which may be more challenging in countries where local customs and practices dictate the need for innovative approaches. Implementation of pharmacogenomics in the clinical trial requires further attention to ethical detail related to what kind of informed consent is needed for use of stored DNA samples for future, unforeseen related or unrelated research, whether and to whom to disclose current and future study results, and ways by which the benefits of current and future discoveries are shared by stakeholders in developed and underdeveloped or developing countries.

Book Description
Turkey straddles the continents of Europe and Asia, and this unique geographical location steers its economy. On the world economic scale, as an exceptional emerging economy, Turkey is the 16th largest economy in the world and the sixth largest economy as compared with the European Union countries, according to gross domestic product. The Turkish pharmaceutical sector is ranked 16th in terms of market value, and it is 36th in terms of the clinical research conducted and the volume of pharmaceutical exports. Investments by foreign companies have increased since 1984 and 19 foreign capital firms have entered the Turkish pharmaceuticals market since 1990. Today, there are approximately 300 entities operating in Turkey. Turkey has a long tradition of providing clinical trial legislation, regulation and guidelines; the country has taken major steps towards harmonizing its legislation with those of the European Union in the field of clinical research. Currently Turkish regulations are completely in line with EC Directives. Clinical trials performed in the field of Alzheimer’s disease in Turkey since 1997, including their rationale, design, summary, and outcomes, are discussed in this chapter.

The Law of Off-label Uses of Medicines
Author: Andrea Parziale
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000634388
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
This book examines the regulatory framework for untested and unapproved uses (off-label uses) of medicines in the EU, UK, and USA. Before reaching patients, medicines are extensively tested by manufacturers and approved by regulators to minimise the risk of adverse reactions. However, physicians can prescribe pharmaceuticals for off-label uses, widespread in paediatrics, oncology, rare diseases and, more recently, in treatment for Covid-19. While off-label uses may offer hope, they may also expose patients to risks and uncertainties. Clarification is therefore needed to improve the protection of patients' rights while enhancing legal certainty for health actors. To this end, this work clarifies the regulatory mechanisms and litigation trends concerning off-licence prescriptions in these jurisdictions. It assesses how traditional, prevention-driven regulatory and civil liability rules are being adapted to tackle potential risks and scientific uncertainty. The book outlines the applicable regulations, as well as considering Brexit’s impact on off-label policies in the UK, and EU and national off-label policies in the context of the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. It also explores under what conditions physicians, manufacturers, or regulators must compensate patients injured by untested prescriptions. The book will be an essential resource for researchers, academics and policy-makers working in the areas of medical law and ethics, public health law, pharmaceutical law and private comparative law.

Good Clinical Practice Guide

Book Description
Efforts to control atmospheric accumulations of greenhouse gases that threaten to heat up the planet are in their infancy. Although the IMF is not an environmental organization, environmental issues matter for the organization's mission when they have major implications for macroeconomic performance and fiscal policy. Climate change clearly passes both these tests. This volume provides practical guidelines for the design of fiscal policies (carbon taxes and emissions trading systems with allowance auctions) to reduce greenhouse gases. Not only are these instruments potentially the most effective at exploiting emission reduction opportunities in the near and longer term, but they can also generate for many countries a valuable new source of government revenue. The chapters, written by leading experts, explain the case for fiscal policies over other approaches; how these policies can be implemented; reasonable levels for emissions prices; policies for the forest sector; appropriate polic
