Overview
In order to administer the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) on human population in the EU countries, the Sponsors must submit a Clinical Trial Authorization (CTA) application and an Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier (IMPD) as per the legislation, and the detailed scientific information on the IMP. Some of the challenges in conducting clinical trials in the EU are:
- Strategy and planning of IMPD submissions in applicable member states where clinical trials are planned.
- Integration of clinical material manufacturing, GMP compliance, QP release, import logistics with IMPD submission, and conduct of clinical trials.
- Planning of IMPD submissions considering the implementation of the new EU Regulation No. 536/2014.
- Trial execution in multiple sites/multiple member states and subsequent reporting/updates to the IMPD.
Preparation of compliant IMPD Regulatory submission as per the EU requirements and managing the challenges for different types of products requires a special set of Regulatory expertise. Therefore, to obtain optimal planning and smooth execution of IMPD Regulatory submission for complex clinical programs, sponsors must consult a Regulatory expert with prior experience in the EU Regulatory submissions and handling IMPDs.
