With ever evolving technology and science, we have to be at the pulse of innovation and ready to engage, to understand, guide, support, evaluate and communicate. How do we ensure Regulatory Excellence throughout the system and across stakeholders? What would one look for in a regulator today and in future? Come with your thoughts, experience and join the debate with representatives from the European Commission, European Medicines Agency, Dutch Medicines Evaluation Board, Heads of Medicines Agencies, Industry and patient representatives.

Until a few years ago the trending hashtags were blockchain, real world evidence, and accelerated pathways. Soon after, Parallel advice and Health Technology Assesment Bodies, and Payors came to the fore, suddenly out of nowhere the world was hit with Generative AI. Let’s face it: the healthcare industry never had issues keeping up with the times and health agencies are no different. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) and U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued guidance relating to the use of AI in 2023. This year both Agencies and the EU regulatory network have also started implementing generative AI in-house. This session aims to shed light on the Agencies’ approach to balancing the need for swift access to groundbreaking treatments with the imperative of ensuring public safety. By fostering an open exchange of ideas, the chat will provide insights into the EMA’s, the European Regulatory network and FDA's current initiatives, their future directions, and the broader implications for public health policy and practice. Join us for a compelling conversation that promises to deepen our understanding of the complexities at the intersection of healthcare innovation and regulation, and to envision the future of public health in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Session Lead:
Clinical evidence generation for healthcare products has advanced to include a range of approaches. Although clinical trials (CTs) remain the research modality most relied upon by regulatory authorities for establishing clinical safety and efficacy, the lifecycle of evidence generation for medicines and vaccines increasingly embrace a combination of approaches which includes real-world evidence (RWE). Over the last two decades, the EU clinical trials environment has undergone significant changes intended to simplify and harmonize the administrative provisions governing EU clinical trials but obstacles persist that hamper the conduct of multinational trials in the EU. Progress continues to be made to work in partnership to optimize the implementation of the EU CTR and the related launch of the single EU portal and clinical trial database, the Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS). The Accelerating Clinical Trials in the EU (ACT EU) initiative aims to support further transformation of the clinical trials environment in the EU. With several priority actions covering different aspects of clinical trials, the main goal of ACT EU is to contribute to the health of EU citizens through faster access to innovative medicines and optimized use of medicines on the market. Enabling access to innovative new medicines requires a range of approaches to evidence generation over the lifecycle of this product. This session will broaden the conversation on clinical evidence generation beyond traditional silos of clinical trials and real-world evidence generation to consider how we can holistically work in collaboration to generate evidence that meets the needs of decision makers through the product lifecycle. The session will probe the interface between the European Medicines Agency (EMA)/Heads of Medicines Agencies (HMA), ACT EU and Big Data Initiatives and how these link into a broader strategic vision for the EU medicines regulatory network. The panel will consider not only how science is evolving but also the complexity of clinical trial execution in a rapidly changing landscape. Session Lead:
How to successfully navigate the new EU Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Regulation’s mandatory assessment of relative effectiveness occurring in parallel with MAA – earlier consideration of HTA evidence needs during clinical development and regulatory strategy will be key. Session Lead:
Focus of the session will be on practical implementation of the Clinical Trial Regulation (CTR) post-transition in a global context. Experience will be shared from usage of the Clinicial Trials Information System (CTIS) including transparency and disclosure requirements. The session will discuss challenges in navigating between the different EU regulations in relation to clinical trials and elements to consider in navigating a global trial beyond the current fragmented environment.
