Session 7BC: Predicting Clinical Safety from Nonclinical Data: Case Studies

Session Chair(s)

Arthur A. Levin, PhD

Distinguished Scientist

Avidity Biosciences, United States

The most fundamental goal of toxicity studies is to predict the safety of drugs in clinical trials. This session will focus on some case-studies of how nonclinical data are being used to avoid adverse effects in clinical trials and how nonclinical data can be used to understand safety signals from clinical trials. In addition, the session features a discussion of the Agency’s database of oligonucleotide therapeutics how the data are collected and being used.

Learning Objective :
  • Appreciate nonclinical to clinical correlations and how toxicity studies can be best used
  • Gain greater insight into how the Agency is collecting data on oligonucleotides and employing it to help with decision-making
  • Speaker(s)
