ABOUT THIS MEETING (Hosted by CDER SBIA)

Join us for the 2024 Advancing Generic Drug Development Workshop! FDA experts will demonstrate the FDA’s Generic Drug User Fee Amendments (GDUFA) Science and Research Program’s transformative impact on generic drug development, regulation, and approval. Dissect complex scientific challenges in ANDAs alongside FDA experts, and gain insights into GDUFA III progress, GDUFA science and research on complex products and scientific issues to product-specific guidance development, pre-ANDA and ANDA meeting discussions. The workshop will also highlight innovative science and cutting-edge methodologies in generic drug development both within the U.S. and globally.

We're thrilled to offer this workshop in a hybrid format this year!

In-person attendees will enjoy:

Interactive poster sessions with FDA scientists, featuring topics like guidance development, advanced analytics, and PBPK modeling
Lively discussions and Q&A with FDA experts

Virtual attendees will have access to all presentations and panel discussions, minus the poster session.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to learn about critical aspects to improve your generic drug development!

TOPICS COVERED

Advancement in vitro characterization methodologies
Research to support guidance development on complex products including drug-device combination products, topical products, and inhalation products
Spotlights on recent generic drug review and approval by the FDA
Efforts to ensure efficient and consistent high quality generic drug development

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Stay current with the latest advancements in science, research, guidance development, and regulatory evaluation related to generic drug products.
Summarize and explain the key enhancements and changes introduced in GDUFA III and their potential impact on ANDAs
Recognize and explain how the FDA's research can be leveraged to support and inform generic drug development.
Utilize various strategies and methodologies to facilitate efficient generic drug development
