• Identify major differences and similarities between the European and the American clinical trial application submission process. • Become familiar with important considerations for conducting successful clinical trials with radiopharmaceuticals.
41.1 Introduction: The Need for Clinical Trials with Radiopharmaceuticals The development of radiopharmaceuticals is essential for nuclear medicine, implementing new findings in molecular biology, drug development, and in many fields of clinical specialities, increasing its pace in particular in the field of PET and therapeutic applications. New radionuclides are emerging; an increased need of radiopharmaceuticals as companion diagnostics and new insights in targeting of in particular tumor cells open new applications in diagnosis and therapy involving radiopharmaceuticals. A major bottleneck in the process of translating new radiopharmaceuticals into
