May 22: BayBio Therapeutic Breakfast | Hepatitis C: in Search of a Cure
According to National Institutes of Health (NIH), hepatitis C is currently estimated to affect over 4 million Americans, making it one of the nation's most common and difficult to treat blood-borne infections. With no vaccine on the immediate horizon and current treatments deemed difficult to tolerate, this disease has become a central focus and opportunity for many Northern California Life Science Companies. Current therapies to treat this disease focus on immune modulators in combination with ribavirin. Although this has been a mainstay of treatment options for Hepatitis C, it has limited ability to work for all patients. Promising new treatments are currently under study by our local life science companies to treat and cure this disease.
Please join us to learn their approach and hope; their innovation and desire; and future products in the pipeline. 8:00am - 10:00am at Latham & Watkins LLP, Menlo Park, CA.

Drug Approval Trends at the FDA and EMEA
Process improvements, heightened scrutiny and industry response
• Delayed approvals. Regulators are requesting more data to validate or refute conclusions about product risks. This is creating a rise in the size and number of clinical trials as well as overall research budgets.
• Rising R&D costs. Drug developers are continually increasing their R&D expenditures to generate approvable drug applications, despite rising financial pressures in the industry. Emerging technologies such as stem cells, genomics and proteomics are among the most prevalent initiatives being used to identify appropriate drug candidates.
• US generics focus. The FDA is allocating resources to generic drug approvals in an attempt to speed these products to market. However, although Europe has recently developed a clear regulatory path for generic versions of biologicals, this is yet be achieved in the US.
• Regulatory process improvements. Regulators are enhancing their drug review processes with new technologies such as electronic drug applications and technology-based standards for drug review.
