Overview
The new EU Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR) aims to create a more favourable environment for research in Europe, as well as maintain the highest level of standards for patient safety, and increased transparency of clinical trial information.
With any new regulatory review process there can be a period of adjustment as sponsors become accustomed to the new procedures and timelines. During this webinar we will outline the EU CTR process, sharing our experience of early phase trial submissions so far. We will offer insights into where efficiencies can be gained, pitfalls to avoid, and how you can work together with your CRO to leverage the EU CTR as an opportunity to improve processes, whilst complying with legal responsibilities.
Points for discussion will include:
- Overview of the new EU CTR regulatory review process in Europe– identifying the key differences and implications for your early phase study
- The efficiencies achieved within the EU CTR and Netherlands regulatory framework, streamlining early phase trial approval under both sponsor and CRO submission models
- Examples of both full regulatory support and hybrid models we have used to complete submissions in CTIS under the EU CTR
- Submission lessons learned and timeline to approval data based on our experience so far.
