This webinar will cover the regulatory considerations of risk and safety aspects in clinical development of new antibacterial therapies. Adult and paediatric requirements will be discussed.
Presentation 1: Developing new antibiotics: how to optimise benefits and risks (Enrica Alteri)
Developing new antibiotics requires a good understanding of the current landscape: AMR, patterns of utilisations in humans and livestock. The safety profile of individual new products should be compared with that of older products, but – more importantly – should be understood against the potential benefits in resistant patients. For antibiotics, the population benefits should have a high weight, and be taken into account when developing a Risk Management Plan.
Presentation 2: Safety considerations in paediatric drug development (John Alexander)
John Alexander will discuss the safety evaluation of antimicrobial drugs in pediatric studies in the context of US pediatric regulations. The presentation will focus on general approaches to collecting safety and pharmacokinetic data for antimicrobial drugs in the pediatric population.
