Given the medical emergency presented by COVID-19 and the importance of international cooperation to tackle this global crisis, FDA, EMA, and the European Commission intensified their collaboration efforts under the umbrella of the International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities (ICMRA) - an international executive-level coalition that brings together key regulators from every region of the world to facilitate access to safe, effective, high-quality products. Sharing of experience and common challenges in facilitating the development, review and availability of COVID-19 vaccines; review and availability of COVID-19 vaccines, collaborating on observational research in COVID-19 as a model, specifically on vaccines surveillance; building international cohorts; and the use of medicines in pregnant women with COVID-19 are among the current priority topics of common interest. What does this mean for outcomes researchers as they look to add and aid in the developing evidence in the pandemic space? Join this spotlight session to learn about the latest progress in joint efforts by national regulatory authorities and discuss what more we could and should be doing to ensure robust scientific evidence for COVID decision making.
