Regulatory affairs project management and submission services

We ensure that your applications and dossiers meet the relevant requirements and that the documentation is prepared in a timely manner. We follow up with our customers' internal departments and their external partners during all phases of the procedure.

We handle your decentralised and mutual recognition procedures as well as your national applications from submission to approval. Our team of experts can prepare answers to deficiency letters. We liaise with all national EU authorities and with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) at all stages of the procedure.

Regulatory maintenance and lifecycle management

For both variations and renewals state-of-the-art documents are needed to keep your products alive. We ensure that your updates are prepared according to recent EU requirements.

Generic drug development services

Our skilled team of pharmacists and medical doctors has many years of experience in the development of generic drug products within the EU. We understand that no two development projects are the same and that each customer has its own goals. This is why we tailor our services not only to meet or exceed EU regulatory agencies' needs but also to meet specific customer requirements.

Our deep knowledge of regulatory affairs ensures that the achievements and results from development work are presented in an agency-friendly way, to ensure fast and successful approval.

Regulatory affairs training

We provide customised half-day to three-day seminars at our offices in Lörrach, Germany, or at the customer's site.

Since regulatory affairs is our daily business the content of the programmes is based on real-world experience combined with theoretical background knowledge. Seminar options include:

• Introductory course for new DRA professionals
