Drug development can carry the risk of treatment-emergent depression and suicidal ideation for trial participants, and lack of suicide risk detection prior to treatment has led to drugs receiving “black-box warnings” by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Extensive further testing is then required to demonstrate the safety of the drugs before the warnings can be removed, leading to delays in patient treatment during the testing period. Regularly administering the C-SSRS/eC-SSRS in clinical trials can help patients remain safe and prevent mislabeling drugs that do not carry these serious risks. When used at regular intervals, the C-SSRS/eC-SSRS can also be viewed in conjunction with treatment status and patient quality of life to assess levels of suicide risk in therapeutic areas traditionally hard to assess, such as oncology.
Join the featured speakers to explore the benefits of eC-SSRS/C-SSRS in protecting patients. Don’t miss this deep dive into suicide risk detection in oncology and beyond.
Join Libby Thomas, MS, Scientific Advisor, eCOA Science & Consulting, Clario; Dr. Kelly Posner, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry, Columbia University; and Dr. John Greist, MD, Chairman of the Board, Meret Solutions; Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, Univ. Of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, for the live webinar on Tuesday, September 5, 2023, at 11am EDT (4pm BST/UK).
