EVENT DETAILS
Meeting endpoints in a successful clinical trial ensures that the FDA will approve a medical device, right? As it turns out, there's more to the picture. Tony Fields was VP of R&D at Emphasys & COO at Claret Medical, & in his career he saw FDA deny approval for an Emphasys device that met all primary & secondary endpoints in a trial--but, conversely, approve a Claret device that failed to meet its endpoints. How can this be? What other factors might matter to FDA? Join us Thursday, September 12 to find out.
