DESCRIPTION:Please join our webinar. We'll have 2 presentations from widely
  known speakers:\nThe emerging and merging fields of benefit-risk and heal
 th technology assessments\nby Jason (Jixian Wang)\, Shahrul Mt-Isa and Sus
 an Talbot\, on behalf of the EFSPI BRA/HTA joint working group \nBenefit-R
 isk Assessment via Case Studies: Key Considerations and Best Practices \nb
 y George Quartey\nThe webinar occurs twice - please register for one of th
 e following dates:\n\n    1st webinar: 2017 February 9\, 5pm CET (4pm GMT)
 \n\n\n    2nd webinar: 2017 February 14\, 5pm CET (4pm GMT)\n\nClick here 
 to view the flyer!\n\n&nbsp\;Here is some further background information a
 bout the content and the presenters:\n \nThe emerging and merging fields o
 f benefit-risk and health technology assessments\n\nAbstract: Benefit-risk
  assessments (BRA) focus on clinical aspects of health care products and a
 re often seen as purely regulatory activities\, while health technology as
 sessments (HTA) consider a wider range of aspects\, but mainly concentrate
  on economic evaluations. Despite different objectives\, the perspectives 
 and requirements of the two domains are becoming more in sync than a decad
 e ago. This is evidenced by the formations of various initiatives to addre
 ss novel challenges\, raising the bar for those directly involved in provi
 ding justifiable evidence for decision-making on health technologies for t
 he good of public health. With increasing methodological demands and consi
 derations that are no longer unique to HTA or BRA in regulatory submission
 s\, more issues have surfaced and more questions have been raised. Despite
  the numerous efforts\, the recommendations remain diverse and the efforts
  remain distinct.  The EFSPI/PSI joint working group for BRA and HTA has c
 onducted an extensive  review of the initiatives and investigated methodol
 ogies to recommend  practical approaches to improve HTA with an integrated
  BRA.  We will present an up-to-date review of the outputs from key initia
 tives focusing on methodologies\, and will compare approaches taken by HTA
  authorities  with those  taken by the regulatory agencies.\nAbout the pre
 senter: Jason (Jixian) Wang is a principle statistician at Celgene\, with 
 over 25 years of experiences as statistician in a number of areas in pharm
 aceutical statistics\, has published more than 50 peer reviewed papers and
  a book on exposure-response modeling.  He worked on health economics and 
 outcome researches and epidemiology  in  academic institutes for several y
 ears before moving to  industry positions supporting clinical pharmacology
   in Phase I-III trials and regulatory submissions\, with a number of succ
 essful NDA submissions  to the FDA/EMEA .  Since 2014\, he has been workin
 g on health economics and outcomes researches to support global market acc
 ess.  His current interests are on health economics modeling\,  real world
  evidence generation and causal inference\, and structured benefit-risk an
 d health technology assessments.  He is  a member of PSI special interest 
 groups for real world data (formally epidemiology)\, modeling and simulati
 on and health technology assessment (HTA).  He is  leading a working group
  on clinical trial extrapolation for HTA\, and is a coordinator for the EF
 SPI joint working group for benefit-risk assessment and HTA.\n&nbsp\;\nBen
 efit-Risk Assessment via Case Studies: Key Considerations and Best Practic
 es\n\nAbstract: The development and implementation of benefit-risk assessm
 ent is multi-faceted and should be done throughout the clinical developmen
 t life cycle. Use of structured benefit-risk framework could enhance regul
 atory decisions\, both in terms of scientific validity and in terms of con
 sistency and transparency to stakeholders. In this talk\, we describe two 
 real examples that regulatory agencies considered in benefit-risk evaluati
 ons\, resulting in different outcomes in their approval and marketing stat
 us. These case studies illustrate a few key considerations (i.e subgroup i
 dentifications\, endpoint selection with important clinical impacts\, unce
 rtainty quantification\, risk mitigation etc.) for a full benefit-risk eva
 luation.\nAbout the presenter: Dr George Quartey is a Strategic Innovation
  Leader for Safety Risk Management at Roche-Genentech with over 25 years o
 f diverse experience in statistical research\, risk-benefit modeling\, com
 parative effectiveness research\, evidence synthesis and data Mining. He i
 s currently responsible for leading major innovation and enablement in are
 as relating to Benefit-Risk Assessment of Medicines\, Machine Learning and
  Predictive Safety Monitoring as well as Safety Strategies for Handling HT
 A. Dr Quartey published and spoke widely on both theoretical and pragmatic
  aspects of benefit-risk assessment of medicines and served on several int
 ernal and external committees that inform policy on benefit-risk and quant
 itative safety methods including IMI PROTECT\, QSPI Benefit-Risk Working G
 roup and CIOMS X working group on "Evidence Synthesis and Meta-Analysis fo
 r Drug Safety". Dr Quartey is currently the co-director of the IMI EU2P pr
 ogram on benefit-risk assessment of medicines.\n\nTo access the recording\
