Drug-Induced Injury of Liver, Heart, Kidney, and Skin: Employing Recent Advances to Improve Patient Safety and Speed Up the Pipeline
Oct 15 2013 7:00AM - Oct 17 2013 3:00PM | Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center
5701 Marinelli Road,
North Bethesda, MD 20852
USA
Overview
Establishing safety of new drug candidates remains a major challenge at every stage of the development process. This conference will explore the current state of the art as well as how our evolving understanding of underlying mechanisms is leading to new strategies for risk assessment and mitigation including the application of novel translational biomarkers and other personalized medicine approaches.
The focus will be on drug toxicity to the liver, heart, kidney and skin. Within each organ system, what is worth doing? What is possible to predict about organ toxicity… before a compound is synthesized? …in non-clinical assessments? …in high-throughput assays? Having identified an important risk, should development be abandoned or can it proceed? Can personalized medicine be applied to risk management? Can patients be protected by monitoring organ function or by assaying new translational biomarkers? Benefit must outweigh risk to patients across the entire product life cycle. Do the strategies used in clinical development translate to the post-marketing setting?
This is the one conference that should be attended by all those with responsibilities in drug safety across the entire life cycle of a drug. In just 2.5 days your team will receive the latest updates on Drug Induced Organ Injury from the US, Europe and Japan.
This program is developed by the DIA Clinical Safety and Pharmacovigilance Community in collaboration with Academia, Regulators and Industry Experts.

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Recognize how to better handle cases of drug-induced liver injury, including causality assessment and use of new biomarkers
- Describe the importance of prioritizing drug-induced heart injury
- Discuss drug-induced kidney injury and the use of novel biomarkers for early detection
- Recognize the essential features of drug induced kidney injury
- Discuss population differences and genetic markers of risk for severe drug-induced skin injury and how benefit-risk profiles may differ by population for a given compound
- Discuss essential requirements for assessment of drug-induced organ injuries from a regulatory review perspective
- Identify common pitfalls and potential approaches to causality assessment for drug-induced organ injury.
- Apply a strategy early in the product life cycle for handling possible drug-induced organ injury
