WEbCAST series - are you taking an integrated approach?
Any prescription medicine has the potential to be abused, however, drug products affecting the Central Nervous System (CNS) and those able to produce rewarding psychoactive effects are considered to be at greater risk of being misused. As a result, preclinical evaluations of the abuse potential of new drugs affecting the CNS are an integral component of new drug applications (NDA).
In this two-part webcast series independent Consultant, Mary Jeanne Kallman and Evotec Research Leader, Abuse Liability, Michela Tessari will present practical and methodological approaches to preclinical drug abuse liability assessment of novel CNS-active candidates in light of International Regulatory Agencies' recommendations.
Experts will discuss a number of critical parameters that should be carefully considered when designing animal behavioural studies to investigate the abuse potential of novel compounds.
Part one | Abuse Liability Assessment of new drugs from candidate selection to New Drug Application
Part two | Abuse Liability Assessment of new drugs: core preclinical studies to address regulatory requirements
