    04.12.08 - 05.12.08 9th Conference on European Electronic Document Management
      Hilton Barcelona , Avenida Diagonal 589-591  
    08014 Barcelona , Spain
    During the past decades we dreamed, anticipated, waited for a future time when technology would shape a new landscape for EDM. Many of the
    components have been around for quite a long time. Others are just emerging. But now, for the first time, that future has come to being. EDM in
    many different shapes, spanning from home-grown systems to hosted repositories, has become the established method for managing official
    documentation. Registration dossiers are built electronically even for paper submissions and safety information is exchanged in electronic formats. Is
    this the end of the story? Certainly not but this much is certain: the future we dreamed of then, is now.

    04.12.08 - 05.12.08 Cardiac Safety
      Hilton Barcelona, Avenida Diagonal 589-591  
    08014 Barcelona , Spain
    The rapid development of Cardiac Safety standards in clinical and drug development practices, coupled with the increased regulatory scrutiny, has resulted in a momentous evolution of the cardiac drug safety field. The ICH-E14 guidance has been at the centre of the public and industry interest since its inception in 2003. After its finalization in 2005, focus has shifted to regional interpretation and implementation of the guidance and the development of cardiac safety compliance strategies by biopharmaceutical and other organisations. The implementation of the E14 guidance has recently also been broadened to cover
    oncology drugs and biologics, with associated challenges in terms of e.g. finding alternatives to the ‘thorough QT study’ in healthy volunteers. Concomitantly, the field of Cardiac Drug Safety has expanded beyond the repolarisation and arrhythmia issues and is now involving wider areas of drug induced cardiotoxicity, including vascular and tissue related toxicities. These topics and other will be discussed at the forthcoming DIA Cardiac Safety meeting, alongside presentations of new technologies and novel biomarkers for early detection and risk management of drug related cardiac toxicity.
