Wed, Mar 19, 2025 · 3:00–4:10 PM CET Delhi Room, Congress Center Basel

About this session

How has pharmacovigilance evolved to address the complexities of modern therapies? Initially focused on simpler medicines, pharmacovigilance now tackles sophisticated modalities like CAR T-cell and gene therapies. This session will explore the benefits of early risk profiling for CAR T-cell therapies and the harmonization of pharmacovigilance guidance for next-generation biologic therapies. The session will feature a panel discussion with industry and regulatory experts, who will discuss the challenges of maintaining an effective pharmacovigilance system capable of handling the complexities of new therapeutic advancements.
