European Bioanalysis Forum (EBF)

04/05/2016

In addition to below communication, over the last weeks we decided to include 3 additional sessions in Barcelona

1. Already discussed in Limelette: “Bioanalytical challenges with special formulations / drug delivery devices” – see also attached mail for background
2. Following up on the upcoming Immunogenicity Focus Workshop (in pre-planning phase – more info to follow soon) and connecting to a rapidly evolving regulatory environment: “Immunogenicity – a new environment after the EMA and FDA (draft) Guidances?”
3. And following the release of the OECD-17 guidance: “OECD-17: how the implement this in a BA-IT environment”

So, in practice: if you want to contribute to these session, please send an abstract using the normal route offered on the BCN website - http://bcn.europeanbioanalysisforum.eu/open-symposium/speakers-os/.

Open Symposium Call for Speakers You are invited to submit an abstract of your oral contribution to [email protected] before May 27th, 2016. This allow us to publish the agenda before summer. Please use this this form to do so.

We appreciate your feedback

Dear scientist,

Thank you for your contribution to our meeting last week. In size, this was the biggest EBF meeting ever. The overwhelming success certainly took us by surprise and we had to fine-tune some of the logistics in the last days. We sincerely hope the inconvenience was acceptable.

We heard excellent comments on the science, the interactions and the atmosphere at the meeting. Again, we would like to thank all our speakers, the delegates and the crew that made the meeting a success.

But good isn't good enough, and we would like to hear your comments on how we can improve and the topics you would like to discuss at the 9th Open Symposium for which the preparations are starting.
Therefore, please share your comments on [email protected]

We plan to have all slide decks available on the website in about 2-3 weeks time. Once they are available, we will let you know.

Thanks a lot and looking forward to your support next year

APQ Open Forum: Tiered Approaches to Bioanalytical Validation: Current Practice and Stakeholder Issues 0 Drug Discovery and Development, Regulated Bioanalysis By: APQ Open Forum Organization Committee Where & When? 2015 AAPS Annual Meeting and Exposition, October 25-29th 7:00 PM–9:00 PM Oct 27, 2015…

The principles of scientific validation in relation to the tiered approach to bioanalytical method validation (BMV) are being discussed more intensively in industry. Also, this year’s APQ Open Forum has made this topic a priority. An expert panel from North America (AAPS, FDA), Europe (EBF) and Japan (JBF) and the GBC will engage the APQ Open Forum delegates to discuss the opportunities offered by applying these alternative BMV standards for an array of applications. Especially in earlier phases of drug development, applying the scientific validation as an alternative for regulatory based BMV has already proven its value, but the Open Forum aims at a continued open discussion on the future development of finding the right balance between science and regulation in bioanalysis.

Looking forward to meet you in Orlando

Tiered or scientific approaches to bioanalytical validation, vis-à-vis a regulatory based approach, have been discussed and utilized over the last 5-8 years as economic pressure on industry and the pace of instrument innovation and new drug applications has increased, intensifying the need for more…
