Numerous changes and extended requirements result from the revision of the guideline, e.g., with regard to data requirements, test strategies (especially for antibiotics), the assessment of possible risks due to bioaccumulation in the environment and the methodology to be used.
The increasing importance of environmental considerations is also evident in the draft of the revised Medicinal Products Directive 2001/83/EC, which takes into account the objectives of the European ‘Green Deal’ for greater environmental protection and sustainability. A ‘lifecycle’ assessment of medicinal products is also required from an environmental point of view.
This online seminar is divided into two modules (which can be booked individually and together) and is practice-orientated. The focus is on the preparation of ERAs based on the revised guideline with its many new features.
