Companion Diagnostics Services

The evolving regulatory landscape, especially under the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation (IVDR), poses significant challenges for companies aiming to bring their diagnostics to market. From harmonizing the distinct regulatory frameworks of IVDs and medicinal products to ensuring compliance with stringent quality and performance standards, the road to market access can seem overwhelming.
 
Whether you’re struggling with co-development complexities, regulatory compliance, or market access strategies, our dedicated teams of regulatory experts are here to support you. 

 

What are companion diagnostics?

TOWARDS REGULATORY AND MARKET ACCESS

Companion Diagnostics (CDx) in the EU are defined as a device that is essential for the safe and effective use of a corresponding medicinal product.

They are designed to either identify patients who are most likely to benefit from that medication before or during treatment or to identify patients who may be at higher risk of experiencing serious side effects as a result of that medication.

With the implementation of the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation (IVDR) in the EU, companion diagnostics are now subject to new regulatory requirements that have a significant impact on their development and commercialization.

 

Since CDx are ideally co-developed with pharmaceutical manufacturers, there are unique challenges involved in bringing together these two distinct regulatory frameworks.

We understand the regulatory complexities involved in the design and development of companion diagnostics, as well as in the development of personalized medicine, which is why we have dedicated regulatory teams with expertise in IVDs and medicinal products that can work together to support your co-development efforts.

This enables us to navigate the challenges involved in bringing companion diagnostics to market, ensuring you can achieve regulatory compliance and commercial success.
