Preclinical development stage

Early assessment of your product to ensure smarter and faster development plan and proper regulatory pathway

Preclinical development stage

Prior to entering clinical trials to confirm in humans the results obtained in preclinical research, a product needs to be correctly defined to ensure the best regulatory strategy and clinical approach. Facilitating a correct definition of the research development and regulatory plan, which involves proper designation of the product, will determine: timings, requirements during later phases, types of meetings to be carried out, the regulatory intermediaries that will be involved, and the possibility of accessing waivers and other mechanisms to accelerate approval that will depend on the medical need to be covered and the nature of the product.

Strategic regulatory inputs can be given from the very beginning for segmentation/niche indication, conditional approval/fast-track, orphan drug designations, and preclinical plans oriented for minimum time to market.

Asphalion can be the ideal regulatory partner during these early stages prior to proceeding to clinical research or in the very early stages of clinical research.
