ISN Nexus Symposium on the New Era of Drug Discovery and Clinical Trials in Kidney Disease, to be held in Bergamo, Italy on April 3-6, 2014.
 
 Abstract Submissions Deadline: January 6, 2014 
 Early Registration Deadline: January 27, 2014 
 
 We are very excited about this program, which will bring together scientists in academia and the pharmaceutical sector, clinicians and regulators, to define new frameworks towards efficient drug discovery and clinical trials in kidney disease. 
 We are especially pleased to announce that three major regulatory agencies – the FDA, the EMA and the PDMA – will be represented at the symposium, with speakers from all three giving what promises to be fascinating talks.
 The Program pillars for his symposium are:
 Target validation and rationale behind drug discovery 
 Efficient, exploratory first-in-human clinical trials for renal drugs 
 Global networking of clinical trials 
 New framework of collaboration between academia, pharma and government/regulatory authorities 
 
 Topical highlights will include:
 New targets relevant to kidney disease 
 Unmet medical needs 
 Target validation 
 Advancement of drug discovery technologies 
 Exploratory clinical trials 
 Surrogate biomarkers 
 Molecular imaging 
 Monitoring of renal toxicity 
 Clinical sessions 
 Clinical end-points 
 Protocols of clinical trials 
 
 The number of newly approved drugs continue to decrease despite a growing number of kidney patients. This Nexus symposium will provide cutting-edge lectures on recent advances in drug discovery and clinical trials kidney disease.
