Audio conference highlights

The revised EU pharma legislation has seen some major changes since coming into force, changes that have now been implemented and, more importantly, interpreted. New and additional guidelines have been issued, a system of scientific advisory groups (SAG) has been established, and the procedure to obtain a marketing authorization is being performed in a more stringent way.

In this audio conference we discuss how the paediatric regulation has created the necessity for a more extensive planning process and in particular, how line extensions of existing products are concerned.

This audio conference covers:

• How the centralized procedure functions
• What needs to be taken into consideration after receiving the List of Outstanding Issues
• Issues around the paediatric investigation plan
• What a Letter of Undertaking is and how best to handle it
• When a scientific advisory group (SAG) becomes involved
