Join Gradient for a Free Webinar on Thursday, October 12, 2017, from 1:00-2:00 PM ET
Market approval of new human drugs in the US and the EU often requires an assessment of potential environmental impacts associated with patient use. Environmental assessments can be costly, lengthy, and technically challenging, and need to be tailored for each drug and market. As such, early consideration of environmental assessment obligations as part of new drug approval is important. This webinar will provide an overview of existing regulatory requirements, highlight key differences between US and EU regulations, and discuss upcoming regulatory developments. Using several case studies, including for endocrine-active and antibiotic drugs, we will illustrate technical challenges and successful approaches for conducting EU and US environmental assessments.
