Our Regulatory Affairs packages
Our dedicated Regulatory Affairs Team will employs years of experience and insights gained across several countries to help you navigate the constantly changing regulatory settings.
A scientific advice can be asked for at any point during the development of your product. However, seeking advice from regulatory bodies early during the development of your product makes sure that all your time and effort spent are in the right direction. A scientific advice can be especially beneficial in certain scenarios where Lucky for us, most of the regulatory bodies offer consultation on the development plan of healthcare products including biologics and pharmaceuticals, medical devices, in vitro medical devices, combination products, and digital apps.
We can support you in facilitation of consultation with various regulatory bodies, such as European Medicines Agency (EMA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Swissmedic, Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI) or Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM), French National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM). For medical device developers in EU, we can help you in approaching the appropriate Notified Body and facilitate a conversation with.
We guide our customers through the process of seeking scientific advice by establishing a scientific advice strategy, where we identify the appropriate regulatory body and then the appropriate pathway that the regulatory body offers. We also support our customers in presenting their case in a fitting manner, writing briefing documents, communicating and setting up meetings with regulatory bodies.
