Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Biomarker Assay Development and Validation: Challenges and Creative Solutions Associated with Emerging Biomarker Assays |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Why Is Imaging so Important?
Imaging has become so critical to the current practice of reproductive medicine, it is difficult to imagine life without it. In addition to routine transvaginal ultrasound, other imaging modalities, such as sonohysterography, 3-D ultrasound, Doppler flow, MRI, and interventional imaging techniques are rapidly becoming standard. The IRMSIG is interested in promoting and advancing all aspects of imaging used in the field of reproductive medicine |

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

| Compliance isn't going away. And while organizations may have met SOX, HIPAA or GLBA requirements, a host of new industry requirements such as PCI, e-discovery and FFIEC are forcing organizations to continue to develop and refine their compliance processes and map their policies and technologies to host new regulations. Steep PCI fines and costs associated with e-discovery is an impetus for organizations to get their security house in order.
What's more, the regulations are changing. PCI is expected to be further refined with new rules mandating application security this year. |

Compliance: Improve Your Processes, Leverage Technologies and Reduce Costs |
| Nov 20, 2008 at
TBD, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Compliance isn't going away. And while organizations may have met SOX, HIPAA or GLBA requirements, a host of new industry requirements such as PCI, e-discovery and FFIEC are forcing organizations to continue to develop and refine their compliance processes and map their policies and technologies to host new regulations. Steep PCI fines and costs associated with e-discovery is an impetus for organizations to get their security house in order.
What's more, the regulations are changing. PCI is expected to be further refined with new rules mandating application security this year. |

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Biomarker Assay Development and Validation: Challenges and Creative Solutions Associated with Emerging Biomarker Assays |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Biomarker Assay Development and Validation: Challenges and Creative Solutions Associated with Emerging Biomarker Assays |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Why Is Imaging so Important?
Imaging has become so critical to the current practice of reproductive medicine, it is difficult to imagine life without it. In addition to routine transvaginal ultrasound, other imaging modalities, such as sonohysterography, 3-D ultrasound, Doppler flow, MRI, and interventional imaging techniques are rapidly becoming standard. The IRMSIG is interested in promoting and advancing all aspects of imaging used in the field of reproductive medicine |

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Biomarker Assay Development and Validation: Challenges and Creative Solutions Associated with Emerging Biomarker Assays |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

TBD, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Compliance isn't going away. And while organizations may have met SOX, HIPAA or GLBA requirements, a host of new industry requirements such as PCI, e-discovery and FFIEC are forcing organizations to continue to develop and refine their compliance processes and map their policies and technologies to host new regulations. Steep PCI fines and costs associated with e-discovery is an impetus for organizations to get their security house in order.
What's more, the regulations are changing. PCI is expected to be further refined with new rules mandating application security this year. |

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Why Is Imaging so Important?
Imaging has become so critical to the current practice of reproductive medicine, it is difficult to imagine life without it. In addition to routine transvaginal ultrasound, other imaging modalities, such as sonohysterography, 3-D ultrasound, Doppler flow, MRI, and interventional imaging techniques are rapidly becoming standard. The IRMSIG is interested in promoting and advancing all aspects of imaging used in the field of reproductive medicine |

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Biomarker Assay Development and Validation: Challenges and Creative Solutions Associated with Emerging Biomarker Assays |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Biomarker Assay Development and Validation: Challenges and Creative Solutions Associated with Emerging Biomarker Assays |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

| Compliance isn't going away. And while organizations may have met SOX, HIPAA or GLBA requirements, a host of new industry requirements such as PCI, e-discovery and FFIEC are forcing organizations to continue to develop and refine their compliance processes and map their policies and technologies to host new regulations. Steep PCI fines and costs associated with e-discovery is an impetus for organizations to get their security house in order.
What's more, the regulations are changing. PCI is expected to be further refined with new rules mandating application security this year. |

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Biomarker Assay Development and Validation: Challenges and Creative Solutions Associated with Emerging Biomarker Assays |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Biomarker Assay Development and Validation: Challenges and Creative Solutions Associated with Emerging Biomarker Assays |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Why Is Imaging so Important?
Imaging has become so critical to the current practice of reproductive medicine, it is difficult to imagine life without it. In addition to routine transvaginal ultrasound, other imaging modalities, such as sonohysterography, 3-D ultrasound, Doppler flow, MRI, and interventional imaging techniques are rapidly becoming standard. The IRMSIG is interested in promoting and advancing all aspects of imaging used in the field of reproductive medicine |

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Compliance: Improve Your Processes, Leverage Technologies and Reduce Costs |
| Nov 20, 2008 at
TBD, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Compliance isn't going away. And while organizations may have met SOX, HIPAA or GLBA requirements, a host of new industry requirements such as PCI, e-discovery and FFIEC are forcing organizations to continue to develop and refine their compliance processes and map their policies and technologies to host new regulations. Steep PCI fines and costs associated with e-discovery is an impetus for organizations to get their security house in order.
What's more, the regulations are changing. PCI is expected to be further refined with new rules mandating application security this year. |

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Biomarker Assay Development and Validation: Challenges and Creative Solutions Associated with Emerging Biomarker Assays |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Biomarker Assay Development and Validation: Challenges and Creative Solutions Associated with Emerging Biomarker Assays |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Why Is Imaging so Important?
Imaging has become so critical to the current practice of reproductive medicine, it is difficult to imagine life without it. In addition to routine transvaginal ultrasound, other imaging modalities, such as sonohysterography, 3-D ultrasound, Doppler flow, MRI, and interventional imaging techniques are rapidly becoming standard. The IRMSIG is interested in promoting and advancing all aspects of imaging used in the field of reproductive medicine |

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Biomarker Assay Development and Validation: Challenges and Creative Solutions Associated with Emerging Biomarker Assays |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

TBD, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Compliance isn't going away. And while organizations may have met SOX, HIPAA or GLBA requirements, a host of new industry requirements such as PCI, e-discovery and FFIEC are forcing organizations to continue to develop and refine their compliance processes and map their policies and technologies to host new regulations. Steep PCI fines and costs associated with e-discovery is an impetus for organizations to get their security house in order.
What's more, the regulations are changing. PCI is expected to be further refined with new rules mandating application security this year. |

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Why Is Imaging so Important?
Imaging has become so critical to the current practice of reproductive medicine, it is difficult to imagine life without it. In addition to routine transvaginal ultrasound, other imaging modalities, such as sonohysterography, 3-D ultrasound, Doppler flow, MRI, and interventional imaging techniques are rapidly becoming standard. The IRMSIG is interested in promoting and advancing all aspects of imaging used in the field of reproductive medicine |

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Biomarker Assay Development and Validation: Challenges and Creative Solutions Associated with Emerging Biomarker Assays |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Biomarker Assay Development and Validation: Challenges and Creative Solutions Associated with Emerging Biomarker Assays |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

| Compliance isn't going away. And while organizations may have met SOX, HIPAA or GLBA requirements, a host of new industry requirements such as PCI, e-discovery and FFIEC are forcing organizations to continue to develop and refine their compliance processes and map their policies and technologies to host new regulations. Steep PCI fines and costs associated with e-discovery is an impetus for organizations to get their security house in order.
What's more, the regulations are changing. PCI is expected to be further refined with new rules mandating application security this year. |

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Biomarker Assay Development and Validation: Challenges and Creative Solutions Associated with Emerging Biomarker Assays |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Biomarker Assay Development and Validation: Challenges and Creative Solutions Associated with Emerging Biomarker Assays |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Why Is Imaging so Important?
Imaging has become so critical to the current practice of reproductive medicine, it is difficult to imagine life without it. In addition to routine transvaginal ultrasound, other imaging modalities, such as sonohysterography, 3-D ultrasound, Doppler flow, MRI, and interventional imaging techniques are rapidly becoming standard. The IRMSIG is interested in promoting and advancing all aspects of imaging used in the field of reproductive medicine |

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.

Compliance: Improve Your Processes, Leverage Technologies and Reduce Costs |
| Nov 20, 2008 at
TBD, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Compliance isn't going away. And while organizations may have met SOX, HIPAA or GLBA requirements, a host of new industry requirements such as PCI, e-discovery and FFIEC are forcing organizations to continue to develop and refine their compliance processes and map their policies and technologies to host new regulations. Steep PCI fines and costs associated with e-discovery is an impetus for organizations to get their security house in order.
What's more, the regulations are changing. PCI is expected to be further refined with new rules mandating application security this year. |

Critical Variables in the In Vitro and In Vivo Performance of Parenteral Sustained Release Products |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| Complex parenteral formulations present an increasingly important mechanism for the delivery of small and large molecules. Because these products generally contained large amounts of drugs (to allow for sustained release over days, week, or months), it is essential that we understand the critical manufacturing and formulation variables influencing product performance. The development of manufacturing specifications (and the use of design space concepts) is far more difficult than what is generally encountered with oral dosage forms. Furthermore, unlike immediate release dosage forms where traditional methods of setting expiry can assure safe and effective in vivo product performance, it is unclear as to how much test methods need to be modified for products that are intended to release drugs for a duration of weeks or months after injection. |

Biomarker Assay Development and Validation: Challenges and Creative Solutions Associated with Emerging Biomarker Assays |
| Nov 15-16, 2008 at
Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta
Georgia United States |
| The goal of this workshop is to initiate discussions on the current concepts for the qualification and validation of biomarker
assays and the application of these concepts to non-conventional (non-ELISA based) biomarker assays.
This workshop will include two sessions: the first session will take the form of a biomarker assay development and
validation tutorial, providing in-depth training on the xe2x80x9cfit-for-purposexe2x80x9d method development and validation approach
advocated in the 2006 White Paper (Lee, et al.). Specific topics will include biomarker nomenclature, an overview of
various biomarker methods types, a comparison of biomarker, PK and clinical diagnostic assays, and an overview of
general approaches as well as specific case studies to illustrate best practices for biomarker assay development.
In addition, common issues encountered in biomarker assays such as selection of the reference standard curve and
appropriate QC materials, fit-for-purpose assay acceptance criteria, and the pros and cons of utilizing commercial
assay kits will also be discussed. The second session will focus on development and validation challenges and
creative solutions associated with less-conventional biomarker assay platforms such as qRT-PCR, Flow Cytometry,
ELISPOT, Cell Search, and various multiplex platforms such as Luminex, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and LC/MS.
Both sessions will rely heavily on real life case study examples to illustrate the concepts of fit-for-purpose biomarker
method development and validation, and successful implementation of biomarker efforts in drug development.
