CDER Small Business and Industry Assistance 1 Hour Web Series: Overview: Clinical Pharmacology Considerations for Food Effect Studies
June 15, 2023
FDA's CDER Small Business and Industry Assistance (SBIA) educational webinars target the needs of health care professionals working in the pharmaceutical industry. Subject matter experts from the FDA explain trending drug development topics, (e.g. labeling, adverse events, quality) new guidance's or regulations, and/or FDA regulatory processes. These webinars support FDA's mission of promoting and protecting public health by bridging knowledge gaps about emerging regulatory issues or areas with frequently asked questions.
In this webinar, FDA will discuss the importance of assessing the food effect studies on drugs and reasons for issuing the final guidance. The timing of conducting food effect studies during drug development, and the type of meals being evaluated will be reviewed. In addition, the presentation will also focus on the design of food effect studies, and examine other factors related to assessing the effect of food on a drug.
