BIOTOOL-CHF Kick-off Meeting Marks Successful Start

Monday, January 29, 2024, Bologna

The BIOTOOL-CHF Project kicked off with a highly engaging two-day meeting on January 29 and 30, 2024

The BIOTOOL-CHF Project has been funded by the European Union in 2023 and it is coordinated by Dr. Luciano Potena. The project aims to revolutionize the management of heart failure (HF), a chronic clinical condition affecting million patients across the whole Europe. At the core of the project lies the development and validation of innovative tools and methodologies to address the challenges in HF management. From the validation of biomarkers for estimating congestion to leveraging artificial intelligence for predictive modeling, the project seeks to enhance clinical decision-making and improve patient outcomes.

Additionally, the project will develop a decision-making tool to guide the management of congestion using diuretics, along with a Point of Care companion diagnostic (CD) to assess biomarker concentrations. By integrating new tools and digital solutions, BIOTOOL-CHF aims to personalize the management of HF and optimize the use of existing pharmaceuticals. ECRIN, as beneficiary in the consortium, together with the lead CTU HCF onlus will manage a randomized controlled clinical study for the validation of the companion diagnostic strategy across ten European countries sites.

As the kick-off meeting concludes, the BIOTOOL-CHF Project looks ahead to the next phase of its journey, driven by a shared commitment to innovation and collaboration in tackling the challenges of heart failure.

EMA two-part CTIS training event targeted at SME and academia

Wednesday, January 20, 2021,

A two-part CTIS training event targeted at SME and academia clinical trial sponsors (future CTIS users and their organisations).

Day 1:   22 Feb 2021 SME and academia Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS) two-part training webinar: Day 1 | European Medicines Agency (europa.eu)

Day 2:   4 Mar 2021 SME and academia Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS) two-part training webinar: Day 2 | European Medicines Agency (europa.eu)

The way clinical trials are conducted in the EU will undergo a major change when the Clinical Trial Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 536/2014) comes into application. The Regulation harmonises the assessment and supervision processes for clinical trials throughout the EU, via a Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS). CTIS will contain the centralised EU portal and database for clinical trials foreseen by the Regulation and will be used by clinical trial sponsors as a single entry point in the EU to obtain approval for clinical trials based on applications and for monitoring clinical trials during their life cycle, including the submission of summary of results.

CTIS will centralise the submission process for clinical trial applications and the assessment and authorisation by Member States in a single unique platform. It will facilitate day-to-day business processes of Member States and sponsors of clinical trials throughout the lifecycle of a clinical trial harmonising submission and maintenance of trial applications, assessment and supervision of trials and promoting patient safety and transparency.

The Clinical Trials Regulation, Regulation (EU) No 536/2014, will become applicable as CTIS goes live, which is anticipated in December 2021. Once launched, CTIS will be immediately available for authorities and for clinical trial sponsors, while a three-year phased transition period from the current Directive 2001/20/EC to the Regulation will apply.

To facilitate preparedness for use of CTIS users, the European Medicines Agency has developed a training programme to provide future CTIS users with the skills and knowledge to successfully use CTIS into their business. A wide array of comprehensive online training material will be made available gradually in 2021.

For Micro, Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and academia, EMA is organising a targeted webinar to provide training on CTIS and its functionalities. The webinar is divided into two parts (Day 1 and Day 2) and participants are advised to attend both. This two-part event is free of charge.

As per current planning, Day 1 on 22^nd February 2021 will present CTIS access management, user management and different roles in CTIS. Day 2 on 4^th March 2021 will focus on CTIS functionalities - how to submit and manage a clinical trial application. Transparency of reporting of results will also be presented on Day 2.

The webinar will include presentations by speakers from EMA system experts and presenters from SME and academic institutions, demonstration of the system, and opportunities for questions and answers. The webinar will be recorded and published for future perusal.

❗️❗️Steps to take:

1) Express your initial interest in this two-part CTIS training event aimed at SMEs and academia by completing the expression of interest questions: EUSurvey - Survey (europa.eu). This initial expression of interest should be made by the 29^th January 2021 but is not yet the registration to the training.

2) Based on expressions of interest, you will receive a separate email from EMA including a link to register for the training in the week commencing on 1^st February 2021. Registrations will close on 7^th February 2021. You will need to register for both dates individually.

Due to the platform used, this two-part CTIS training event is limited to 950 participants. Should more participants express interest to participate, preference will be given to those representing academic institutions and SMEs. The criteria for being classified as an SME can be found here.

Workhsop - Roadmap Initiative to Good Lay Summary Practices

Wednesday, January 15, 2020, Crowne Plaza Le Palace, Brussels, Belgium

Learn about the draft Lay Summary Best-Practice Guideline elaborated in response to the Clinical Trial Regulation and take the opportunity to impact the version that will be disseminated for public consultation

The upcoming Clinical Trial Regulation requires the development and dissemination of Lay Summaries of clinical study results from commercial and non-commercial sponsors. Several large companies have already generated experience with creation of Lay Summaries and in the USA guidance on Lay Summary content have already been developed.
Also, EMA has released an Expert Group Recommendation on the content of Lay Summaries. However, there is no guidance for all types of sponsors on how best to handle the development process of Lay Summaries and how best to ensure reliable dissemination so that the ultimate goals can be achieved: increase of clinical research transparency, patients’ and public’s understanding of clinical research, as well as feedback to study participants about the results of their study.
To create a suitable, mutually acceptable framework for Lay Summaries a consorted effort of all involved stakeholders is required.

Some of our keynote speakers and faculty will be:

Edit Szepessy, DG SANTE, EU Commission
Till Bruckner, TranspariMed
Kaisa Immonen, EPF
Barbara Bierer, MRCT Center, Harvard Medical School
Debra Gueirrero, Janssen
Nicola Ruperto, Ospedale Pediatrico Istituto Gaslini
