Future Opportunities & Innovative Therapies for Cardiovascular Diseases
19 November - 20 November 2003
Future Opportunities & Innovative Therapies for Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular drugs have maintained their place as the dominant therapeutic segment of the pharmaceutical market over the last 2 decades and this is a trend that is certainly set to continue. However, today it seems that real progress in terms of R & D seems to have slowed down in this fiercely competitive market, with a number of ‘me too’ drugs but little in the way of innovative new products.

This conference will provide the platform you need to find out what is really happening in the Cardiovascular market, how the competitve dynamics are changing and where the future opportunities lie. What are the lead players up to and in which directions do they see the industry going? What do they consider has been the key to their success? And where should the industry be investing?

The event aims to identify key innovations in the search for new therapies, with a focus on new drugs in development for cardiac diseases, including heart failure, arrhythmia, athersclerosis and coronary artery disease. It will also look at the future of gene and stem cell therapies.

This event is designed for people involved in all aspects of Cardiovascular drug development, product management, marketing and business development. It will provide an opportunity for leading experts to discuss the current obstacles and how they might be overcome, to identify growth areas for the industry, establish contacts and to learn from the experience of others.

A unique opportunity to learn from leading industry experts including:
· Prof Andreas Busch, Vice President & Head, DG Cardiovascular Disease, Aventis
· Dr Francis Plat, Executive Director, Novartis
· Dr Chris Vlahos, Head, Atherosclerosis Vascular Wall Drug Discovery Team, Eli Lilly

    Dr Stuart Young

    Dr Stuart Young, Head, Medical & Regulatory Affairs, Valentis

  • GenePlasmid containing Del-1 (VLTS-589) delivered with a polymer
  • Pre-clinical studies demonstrate new capillary and arteriole formation and improvements in exercise tolerance with no associated toxicity
  • Subjects (20 in 6 cohorts - enrollment is on-going in cohort 6), received intramuscular injections ranging from 3 to 84 mg administered to 1 lower extremity. There were no serious adverse events attributable to VTLS-589
  • Ecchymosis at the injection sites, noted in 3 subjects, was thought to be due to the needle puncture procedure
  • Modest cohort-related improvements were seen in rest pain, neurosensory deficit and palpated pulses. Improvements in claudication stage (#improved#in cohort) were observed: 1/5, 0/3, 1/3, 3/3, 3/3, 3/3, (C 1 to 6 respectively). Improvements were also observed in exercise treadmill time (ETT) and ankle/brachial index (ABI)

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
