ACI’s 27th FDA Boot Camp: A New Program

Posted: 22 Dec 2015 11:40 AM PST
The American Conference Institute’s (“ACI”) popular FDA Boot Camp, now in its 27th iteration, is slated to take place at The Carlton Hotel in New York, New York from March 9-11, 2016.  The conference is billed as the premier event to provide folks with a roadmap to navigate the difficult terrain of FDA regulatory law.
The 27th edition of the FDA Boot Camp has been reworked to provide attendees not only with the essential background in FDA regulatory law to help you in your practice, but also key sessions showing how this regulatory knowledge can be applied to situations encountered in real life.  Highlights of the new program include the “Ripped from the Headlines” session that will update attendees on the key developments in the FDA regulatory bar, and the interactive Post-Conference Case Study Working Groups.
A stellar cast of presenters will share their knowledge and provide critical insights on a host of topics, including:
  • The organization, jurisdiction, functions, and operations of FDA
  • The essentials of the approval process for drugs, biologics, and devices, including: INDs, NDAs, BLAs, OTC Approval, 510(k) submissions, and the PMA process
  • Clinical trials for drugs and biologics and the clearance process for devices
  • The classification of devices and the concept of “risk-based” classification
  • The role of the Hatch-Waxman Amendments in the patenting of drugs and biologics
  • Labeling in the drug and biologics approval process
  • cGMPs and other manufacturing concerns relative to products liability
  • Proactive adverse events monitoring and signal detection
  • Recalls, product withdrawals, and FDA oversight authority  
Hyman, Phelps & McNamara, P.C.’s Kurt R. Karst will present with a panel of experts and provide an overview of the Hatch-Waxman Amendments and the Biologic Price Competition and Innovation Act (“BPCIA”).  Mr. Karst will also head one of the workshops new to the ACI FDA Boot Camp program in 2016. Titled “Hatch-Waxman and BPCIA in the Trenches: Deconstructing and Constructing an Exclusivity Dispute,” Mr. Karst will deconstruct, in a step-by-step manner, a complex exclusivity dispute, analyzing FDA’s and the disputing parties’ various (and sometimes evolving) positions on exclusivity.  Relevant court decisions will also be analyzed and their practical and future effects discussed.  After the exclusivity case analysis is completed, attendees will have the opportunity to construct their own exclusivity dispute by choosing from various base facts.  Once the case is constructed, Mr. Karst will lead attendees through the exclusivity analysis.  Sounds like fun, eh?
