Over the past year, in vitro diagnostic regulation (IVDR) has emerged as a pivotal regulatory framework for ensuring the safety, performance and reliability of medical devices, but navigating the IVDR landscape has been met with challenges. With the implementation of IVDR, it is crucial for clinical trial sponsors and CROs to understand the complexities and nuances of this regulation to successfully navigate the path from assay development to regulatory submission and approval.
This webinar aims to provide a comprehensive overview of IVDR and explore the challenges encountered during the submission and approval process for clinical trial assays, including examples of feedback received from Member States and how to address them. It will discuss the delegation of responsibilities to CROs by clinical trial sponsors, as well as emphasize the criticality of performance study documentation to help the clinical trial assay along the path to regulatory submission and approval. Additionally, participants will gain insights into the classification of medical devices based on the rules outlined in Annex VIII of the IVDR.

The webinar will delve into the specific challenges faced during the IVDR submission process for clinical trial assays, even if there is no intent to commercialize the assay. Participants will be guided through the intricacies of compiling and submitting the required documentation, including clinical and analytical performance reports and scientific validation data. Special attention will be given to addressing common pitfalls and identifying potential roadblocks, with practical tips for overcoming them. A discussion of feedback that CellCarta has received from Member States and how they were addressed will be reviewed.
