Representatives from Camargo Pharmaceutical Services and Foley & Lardner LLP will present at the invitation-only dinner event.
"There is increasing interest in pursuing the 505(b)(2) pathway for NDA approvals given the potential to reduce overall development time and costs by eliminating most nonclinical studies and extensive safety and efficacy tests by referencing existing data," said Ken Phelps, President and CEO of Camargo Pharmaceutical Services. "The 505(b)(2) pathway offers the potential to create new, differentiated products with tremendous commercial value."

Significant changes in small molecule development and in the generics market present a growing need for strategies in 505(b)(2) development.
Presentations at this year's 505(b)(2) Forum include:
