Description:
This course is a comprehensive exploration of the implications that regulation has on companies that research, develop, and produce drug and biotechnology products for human use within the United States and abroad. The course follows the evolution of the drug regulations as they started in the early twentieth century to present day. This develops an appreciation for their importance and gives greater context to regulations in their current form. The course then tracks the lifecycle development of a new drug product and the regulatory milestones in place, through various phases of preclinical and clinical trials, to ensure drug safety and efficacy. Finally, the class will examine how companies maintain compliance with quality systems requirements. The course will be taught with industry guidance documents published by the FDA and through weekly case study assignments to consider various successes and failures of regulated companies.
