20.09.2024 – EUFEMED Workshop: “Making the Investigator Brochure truly fit for purpose in early medicines development”

Location: University of Warsaw
Faculty of Applied Linguistics
Dobra 55
00-312 Warsaw, Poland

Date: Friday, September 20, 2024 | 9:00 – 16:30

The primary objective of the  Investigator Brochure (IB) in a Phase 1 trial is to serve the responsible investigator for reliable benefit-risk assessment, however experience teaches us that it is mostly viewed and written as a Clinical Trial Authorisation document.

Help us to create a more meaningful IB process for translational results’ interpretation, investigator-centred presentation and decision-making.
