Director Global Regulatory Affairs - Regulatory Operations

The EU Regulation 536/2014 requires that sponsors provide summaries of study results that are understandable for lay people. While the regulation provides a framework in regard to the content, many questions remain. Which information is most important for lay readers? How much numerical information should be provided? This session will address the key challenges in the writing of lay summaries and will demonstrate potential solutions.
