Phase Forward Senior Professional Barry Burnstead Honored with Membership Lifetime Award
This year's DIA European EuroMeeting Conference programme will address a broad range of topics, including the challenges of the revised Pharmaceutical Legislation, which is the driving force for review of all aspects of regulatory achievement. The Legislation also brings many opportunities for cooperative associations among stakeholders, who will work together to successfully challenge the R&D paradigms of the past and revitalise them for the future. The objective is to develop safe, effective and quality-assured medicines that ensure public health.
Phase Forward Senior Professional Earns Lifetime Award
Phase Forward's Barry Burnstead will be honoured during the DIA Distinguished Career and Outstanding Services Award ceremony on Monday, March 6th with a lifetime membership award in acknowledgement of his active participation in the DIA.
As part of this year's conference, Barry Burnstead will be co-chair of the Data Management track (Track 12) and will chair the session titled Managing Clinical Trial and Pharmacovigilance Safety Data (Tuesday, March 7, 14:00). This session describes how the worlds of clinical data management and pharmacovigilance interface in significant ways. Serious adverse events attract equal attention from all stakeholders. Global strategies and processes need to address this common interest. Furthermore, the advent of electronic capture of clinical data from trials adds a new dynamic, impacting procedure for validating and reporting. Common interest exists in coding activities of shared data with contrasting requirements driving different solutions. However, the industry is prepared to seek out new solutions and this session looks at how two companies sponsoring trials address these challenges and provides insight into how conflicting coding requirements can be addressed.
