Management Forum Blog

In February 2010, Management Forum held a 3-day seminar on how to develop drugs for companion animals. With a comprehensive programme the speakers delivered valuable information on how to develop these medicines and how to manage the various stages, timetable and budgets involved in the process.

Everyone involved in companion animal medicines must be aware of the main stages in the development programme, and be able to relate their responsibilities to the expertise and needs of the scientists and commercial members of the team.

This course was designed to demonstrate how pharmaceutical, pharmacological, toxicological and clinical investigations and regulatory management are brought together in the development programme. It took the participants through all the stages in the development of a veterinary medicinal product for companion animals, for which a marketing authorisation is sought in the European Union. Presentations covered pharmaceutical and process development, toxicological, pharmacological, safety risk assessments, clinical development, and EU regulatory submissions. An important part of the course was devoted to working on case studies in the workshop sessions.

If you would like further information about this course which will be run again early in 2011, please contact andrea.james@management-forum.co.uk
