ROUNDTABLE:
Perspectives on the FDA Guidance for Clinical Decision Software
DATE: November 15, 2022
Clinical decision support (CDS) software is a challenging regulatory space. Should it be regulated as a device? And if it is a device, what does that mean for the software development and testing?
Device regulatory experts Alethea Wieland, President & COO of Clinical Research Strategies and Managing Expert at Advarra Consulting, and Advarra IRB Chairpersons Robert Romanchuk and Erin Odor provided an overview of the final FDA guidance, and conducted a roundtable discussion of case studies to help attendees better understand how the guidance and other device regulations might and might not apply.
Women in Bio-Pittsburgh: Product Lifecycle in Healthcare – Strategic Steps to Clinical and Regulatory Success
Not all innovators or companies have the same needs. It depends on the product and the stage of development. Do you have a medical device in search of the right regulatory strategy? A drug or biologic that needs regulatory-clinical trial lifecycle management? Maybe you don’t even know the next step to get your product into the hands of those who need it. During this event, Dr. Nisha and Dr. Cramer discussed clinical and regulatory strategies that apply to medical devices and drugs/biologics, with examples of how these strategies were implemented.
Women in Bio-Pittsburgh’s 10th Annual P.O.W.E.R. Event: “Sustainability in an Unstable World.”
