THE CHALLENGES OF MEDICAL DEVICE CLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS

Medical device clinical trials present specific challenges related to the diversity of the technologies evaluated, the constantly evolving European regulatory framework and the need to demonstrate safety, performance and clinical benefit.

Conducting these projects requires close coordination between manufacturers, investigation sites and competent authorities, as well as in-depth command of the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) and Regulation (EU) 2017/746 (IVDR).

OUR MEDICAL DEVICE EXPERTISE

Pharmaspecific supports manufacturers and sponsors in preparing, implementing and monitoring their clinical investigations, PMCF (Post-Market Clinical Follow-up) studies and other clinical evaluation activities required under the MDR and IVDR. Our teams bring expertise in project management, regulatory affairs, monitoring, quality and site coordination.

With our knowledge of the European requirements applicable to medical devices, we help secure projects while facilitating interactions with all the stakeholders involved in the clinical evaluation of medical devices.
