DRUG-DEVICE COMBINATION PRODUCTS IN EU AND US
HIGHLIGHTED TRAINING
The training course “Drug-device combination products in EU and US” will explore the EU and US regulatory landscape defining the key differences, similarities and provide an overview of the regulatory pathways and how to successfully navigate between drugs, devices and combination products in each jurisdiction. The course will also provide a detailed overview of impact of the EU medical device regulation on combination products and the life cycle management of combination products.
Enhancing capabilities to develop and launch successful combination products will remain a top priority; with product usability, integrating digital platforms and general management across the total product life cycle becoming critical. However, with a regulatory landscape that is inconsistent between EU and US, remaining compliant, maintaining quality and ensuring safety requires clear, concise and consistent guidance on regulations.
