2004 Cardiovascular Biomarkers and Surrogate Endpoints Sympoium
Assessing Cardiovascular Risk and Progression
September 10-11, 2004 Bethesda, Maryland
Introduction - The Need for Biomarkers in Drug Development - Dr. Therese Heinonen
Providing a forum for leaders in academia, industry and regulatory affairs to review and discuss evidence regarding the use of cardiovascular biomarkers as surrogate endpoints.
CO-CHAIRS: Peter Libby, M.D. Mallinckrodt Professor of Medicine Harvard Medical School and
Chief Cardiovascular Medicine Brigham and Women’s Hospital Boston, Massachusetts; Jean-Claude Tardif, M.D. Director of Research CIHR Research Chair in Atherosclerosis Montreal Heart Institute Montreal, Quebec
objectives of this program are to:
1) Examine the biology of plaque, and tools to assess cardiovascular risk
2) Identify current issues surrounding the application of biomarkers in a setting of drug development
3) Provide an opportunity for representatives from academia, government and industry to address and debate various aspects of cardiovascular biomarker utility
4) Identify new perspectives on biological markers of cardiovascular risk and disease progression
