Small and emerging biopharma companies develop highly innovative treatment solutions for diseases but often fail when approaching a regulatory milestone. This event organized by the Bayer-MassBio Center for Regulatory Excellence will focus on the regulatory landscape unique to oncology drug development in the US.
 

During this interactive, virtual session, Bayer will share experiences when approaching the FDA to obtain regulatory approval for oncology therapeutics. Participants will have the unique opportunity to learn from and connect with leaders from Bayer’s Regulatory Affairs teams, who will provide:
  • An overview of the FDA’s Oncology Center of Excellence, its structure, and its connections to FDA Divisions (including CDRH)
  • Best practices when engaging the FDA
  • Key considerations regarding Real-time Oncology Review, Breakthrough Designation, Fast-Track Designation, Orphan Drug Designation, and insight into medical devices/Companion Diagnostics

Following a presentation, the Bayer Regulatory Affairs team will be available to answer questions. To help ensure robust answers from the experts, please email Dr. Hanna Eilken (hanna.eilken@bayer.com) with your questions by July 15.
