Stay updated about this course
Market approval is mandatory at various milestones in the development of your novel biomedical intervention and need to be passed to move your product to the market and beyond. The program focuses on how to guide your biomedical intervention along the milestones of its life cycle in an efficient and timely manner.
What makes this course special?
The course introduces biomedical professionals to the world of authorities and regulatory affairs. It is interesting for anyone who aims to bring a new medical intervention to market now or in the future. You will learn to identify the product claims that require market approval and how to define a strategy to obtain market approval alongside the developmental program of your product. We will address the authority landscape (e.g. EMA, FDA, Notified bodies, EFSA), legislation, regulatory dossiers, authority advice meetings, product labels and approaches for device-drug combinations and other novel/complex products that require a tailored market approval approach. To deepen your acquired skills, scenarios based on real-world cases are included in exercises to illustrate the complexity and dynamics involved in obtaining and maintaining market approval of biomedical interventions.
What will you learn?
In this 5-week online course, you are introduced to the world of authorities and regulatory affairs for novel medical interventions – medicinal products, medical devices and medical nutrition. You will learn to identify the product claims that require approval and the way to structure an approach towards authorities to obtain and maintain market approval for your own biomedical research program, institute, or company. Topics that will be addressed are: What are the principles of authority approval procedures? How do you translate the target product characteristics (claims) to a dedicated market approval strategy? In addition, you will learn how to find regulatory information and to deduce the aspects relevant to accelerate the market approval process in pre-approval, market approval and post-approval stages. After completing this course, you will have a clear understanding of the principles behind the market approval system and how to create a strategy to pass the mandatory approvals for your biomedical invention.
