The development of medicinal products and medical devices is built upon the foundation of benefit-risk assessment. The process begins – and ends – with identifying, understanding, analyzing, and mitigating an investigation product’s risk.
Risk Management Principles for Devices and Pharmaceuticals, third edition, aims to document the rules and regulations regarding peri- and post-marketing risk management principles and practices. It provides readers with up-to-date information to help them minimize harm and maximize the efficacy of the products and devices they seek to bring to market.
This updated book contains all the practical information of its predecessor, including preclinical, clinical, and post-marketing risk evaluation; regional risk management requirements; benefit-risk assessment; pregnancy registry use; and quality risk management. The content is augmented by in-depth case studies that will provide readers with a concrete understanding of how to be a strategic member of their organizations’ risk management teams.
