UPGRADE YOUR TRIALS FOR MDR BY MAY 26, 2021!


WHY WE
MUST UPDATE
OUR TRIALS
If you sponsor a trial that is already ongoing, you must update your safety procedures in accordance with the MDR by the deadline of May 26, 2021.
If you are just in the process of submitting a new trial, but it has not started yet, the Authorities will expect that you submit it in compliance with the MDR.

What does it mean to you?
- Your ongoing studies will need an amendment to gain approval for the changes
- Your planning and timelines will be affected by the new application procedures
- Your safety management must consider new definitions, process and timelines
- You will need to upgrade the essential study documents (protocol, IB, informed consent) to comply with new requirements.
Are you ready?
As the implementation of the EU MDR has already proven to be a complex and challenging process, it is important to ensure you are going in the right direction. For example, there are increased requirements surrounding the study design justification, greater focus on risk management, and more emphasis on patient rights and privacy.
