The IPAC-RS symposium will begin with a Thursday afternoon session on, “The OINDP Science and Research Agenda,” followed by a Thursday evening session titled, “Connecting with the Patient: Developing, Applying and Regulating Smart Inhaler Technology” and then a reception. On Friday morning, the symposium will finish with a session on “The Global Regulatory Landscape.”
This year’s RDD program will also include many features that attendees of the US-based RDD meetings have come to expect, including the awarding of the Charles G. Thiel Award and the VCU RDD Peter R. Byron Graduate Student Award; a Posters on the Podium session; and the Wednesday morning break for recreation. The platinum sponsors will offer half hour presentations on Tuesday morning, of which attendees can select two to attend.
In addition, a talk sponsored by the AAPS inhalation group will take place during the group’s reception on Tuesday evening, when Mick Hurrey of InCarda Therapeutics will give a presentation titled, “Every Breath You Take is a Shot Through the Heart – The Story of Inhaled Flecainide for the Treatment of PAF.”
