Overview

Pharma Expert Forum is a technical discussion group comprising of Senior Pharmaceutical Team Leaders and/or R & D Heads. The forum envisages bringing together the International Pharmaceutical Experts and Industry Scientists at a platform to discuss the hottest technical issues and topics for achieving research and business objectives. The forum is designed on the concept of “H2L -Honing to Lead”.

Looking back at an old, in-use or withdrawn drug molecule and turning it into a successful novel proposition is what every research oriented pharmaceutical company is looking at. This concept of Drug Repurposing or Rediscovery is certainly not only about giving a new life to an otherwise shelved or even rejected or dropped drug molecule, but it is looking at an existing molecule in an entirely different way. This is also not only for business objectives but also with an underlying objective of providing affordable alternative to the healthcare armamentarium.

Despite the advantages and regulatory provisions, drug rediscovery is not free from challenges and hurdles. Moreover, several propositions may require lengthy clinical and developmental studies before being considered eligible for approval as reproposed new drug under 505(b)(2) pathways with FDA or a hybrid drug application with EMA, which certainly means higher discovery cost. On top of it the dilemma for pharmaceutical scientists is where to begin from, which approach to follow, is there any time-tested pathway, will the new product be able to change the way it is currently being used and so on.

Objective: This Pharma Expert Forum will look for and deliberate upon the possible solutions in the field of Novel Product Development Approaches and will try to explore different viewpoints and school of thoughts in this method of drug repurposing. This forum is essentially a discussion group to ask questions, discuss, present viewpoints, raise issues, suggest solutions and not a conference or a training course.

The H2L Concept- The H2L or Honing to Lead is a novel concept and means honing or refining skills of the team leaders who have the responsibility to steer their team towards achieving the organizational goals. The H2L concept is about refining specifically the technical skills of the team leaders through higher level experts who have vast first-hand experience in the respective areas so that the leader gets an extremely focused conceptual insight into the problem area. This essentially involves bringing together the leaders who share a common platform with the Experts and where the Experts develop an atmosphere conducive to open discussion rather than a regular speaking-listening session.
