INTRODUCTION

We are proud to announce the 16th International Workshop on Clinical Pharmacology of HIV & Hepatitis Therapy, to be held on 19 - 21 April 2015 in Washington DC, USA.

Understanding the clinical pharmacology of antiretroviral therapy is pivotal to designing optimal treatment and prevention strategies for HIV & Hepatitis infection. Drug exposure is significantly influenced by drug interactions, medication taking behavior, and patients’ physiologic and genetic characteristics. These factors are central to determining therapeutic efficacy, failure or toxicity. Despite great progress, many pharmacologic challenges still exist.

The 16th International Workshop on Clinical Pharmacology of HIV & Hepatitis Therapy provides a platform for state-of-the-art discussions of current topics fundamental to the optimal use of antiretroviral therapy including drug-drug interactions, pharmacokinetics of investigational agents and existing drugs, pharmacodynamics, drug dosing in special populations, post-marketing surveillance project, and regulatory considerations.

This meeting prospectus is designed in order to provide information on the meeting set up, demographics and evaluation scores from the 2014 workshop participants. We hope this information is of interest. Please contact us if specific information is missing and we will gladly provide you with additional documentation.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

BACKGROUNDUnderstanding the clinical pharmacology of antiretroviral therapy is pivotal to designing optimal treatment and prevention strategies for HIV & Hepatitis infection. Drug exposure is significantly influenced by drug interactions, medication taking behavior, and patients’ physiologic and genetic characteristics. These factors are central to determining therapeutic efficacy, failure or toxicity. Despite great progress, many pharmacologic challenges still exist.

The International Workshop on Clinical Pharmacology of HIV Therapy and the International Workshop on Clinical Pharmacology of Hepatitis Therapy have always addressed these challenges for HIV and Hepatitis separately. Over the years, both meetings have become the premier international workshop on clinical pharmacology in their field. In 2014 these two workshops joined forces.

The 16th International Workshop on Clinical Pharmacology of HIV & Hepatitis Therapy again provides a platform for state-of-the-art discussions of current topics fundamental to the optimal use of antiretroviral therapy including drug-drug interactions, pharmacokinetics of investigational agents and existing drugs, pharmacodynamics, drug dosing in special populations, post-marketing surveillance project, and regulatory considerations.

MEETING OBJECTIVES• Togatherexpertsinvolvedinclinicalpharmacologyfromdifferentdisciplinesinaninteractiveworkshopsetting

• Toprovideaplatformforpresentationanddiscussionofthelatestdevelopmentsinthefield

FORMATThis meeting consists of invited lectures, abstract-driven presentations, roundtable discussions, clinical case presentations and poster viewing sessions.

The meeting is abstract-driven. It is known as an excellent platform for young investigators to present their research. To ensure the quality of accepted abstracts, all submitted abstracts go through a blind, peer-reviewed process conducted by the members of the Program Committee, the Organizing Committee and the Scientific Committee. The tables show the abstract submission statistics from the past three years for each workshop:

QUOTES

• I really liked the combination of HIV and HCV and hope the same for the future meetings

• Great meeting, thank you!

• The combination of HCV and HIV really enhanced not only the conference but the discussion and Q and A

• Excellent workshop. I will not attend next year only because of other obligations/new responsibilities

• Level of science was excellent. Combined HCV/HIV was very successful. Meeting staff and facilities great again

• Balance. A good amount of primary research with clinical application/relevance discussed

• One of the best PK workshops to date

• Great program, FDA contribution highly appreciated

• All the feedback I have gotten from my FDA colleagues has been extremely positive for this meeting. The talks were very relevant and the quality of the posters was excellent. The fact that HIV and HCV were combined and also the fact that it took place in DC really aided in our high attendance. For last year’s meeting in Boston, I think I was the only FDA attendee. This year, we had 7 (including the speakers)!

• I was very honored to have the chance to present this year, and it was an outstanding meeting by all accounts

• Thanks! It was truly an honor to participate in the meeting and learn from other experts in the field. The team did a fantastic job to coordinate all the logistics!

• Great location

It can be concluded that the participants were very pleased with the communication, logistics and content of the meeting. All invited lectures were well-recieved, especially the presentation of Saye Khoo on DDIs in the evolving HCV treatment landscape, which was supported by AbbVie.

Many very positive remarks were given, most of which are mentioning the quality of the program and the success of combining HIV and Hepatitis.

98% of the participants would recommend this workshop to their colleagues and more than 90% plans to attend this workshop again next year.

The Organizing Secretariat and the Organizing Committee are very pleased with these results. The 16th edition of the International Workshop on Clinical Pharmacology of HIV & Hepatitis Therapy will be organized 19-21 April 2015 in Washington DC, USA.
