WAYLAND, Mass., Oct. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Ryan Lanier, Ph.D., Associate Director, Consulting Unit at Analgesic Solutions will present "A Systematic Approach to Monitor Misuse, Abuse and Diversion in Clinical Trials (MADDERS)" at the Advancements and Challenges in Abuse Potential Evaluation Meeting on Thursday October 11^th in Bethesda, MD. This meeting is organized by the Cross-Company Abuse Liability Council (CCALC) supported by scientific advice from Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and includes representation from industry, FDA and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The purpose of CCALC is to formulate and communicate scientific perspectives about medication abuse and its mitigation.

Dr. Lanier will also participate in a Panel Discussion focused on gaining consensus on adverse events (AEs) of interest, best practices for collection of AEs in clinical trials, and best practices for data presentation, topics which are vital to those in regulatory and industry positions involved with the assessment of abuse potential of new medications. Dr. Lanier stated, "The MADDERS system was developed as a direct result of recommendations made by the Analgesic, Anesthetic, and Addiction Clinical Trial Translations, Innovations, Opportunities, and Networks (ACTTION), a public-private partnership with the FDA to more accurately and reliably assess abuse potential in clinical trials. We are excited to present what we believe to be the current state of the art when it comes to a system for monitoring misuse, abuse and diversion in clinical trials."
