Regulatory Affairs
Expertise, Intelligence, Strategy and Delivery
PPD has the unmatched scientific, regulatory and operational expertise you need, combined with global reach to help you achieve regulatory approval and market access for your product. Our strategic regulatory services span the full spectrum of activities and technical functions, including regulatory development, licensing and life-cycle management, regulatory strategy input and full-service regulatory partnerships. We deploy process improvement techniques and the latest technology, including PPD’s regulatory information management system (powered by Veeva Vault RIM), to ensure quality of delivery.
Due to the recent upheaval caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA) and other global regulatory authorities have issued guidance providing some flexibility for clinical trials. However, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to applying such guidance. To ensure consistent compliance with regulatory updates, PPD continues to gather information from multiple agencies and update regulatory intelligence daily, both at a study level and on a country-by-country basis.
