Clinical investigation
Let our experts support you in the design, conduct, and reporting of your clinical investigations in accordance with applicable regulations and standards such as the MDR and ISO 14155.
Expert support for your clinical investigations
Medical devices require a tailored approach when it comes to generating the required clinical evidence. Conducting a clinical investigation is demanding and our team of dedicated experts works closely with you to ensure the project's success. We support you in the design, conduct, and reporting of your clinical investigations in accordance with the internationally acknowledged ISO 14155 standard and other applicable regulations such as MDR and national requirements. Our teams are located in multiple countries across Europe.
The purpose of clinical investigations is to establish or confirm aspects of medical device performance and/or effectiveness that cannot be determined by analytical studies, literature or previous experience. The data from clinical investigations are used in the clinical evaluation to demonstrate compliance with the relevant safety and performance requirements with respect to the clinical performance and/or effectiveness of the medical device.
We have extensive experience with all types of clinical investigations including exploratory or feasibility investigations, pivotal investigations, and post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF). We can also support you with your clinical evaluations, as well as partnering with you to build the right clinical development strategy for your medical device. Whether you need support with a specific aspect of a clinical investigation or the entire investigation, we offer flexible services to suit your needs.
Our services cover:
- Clinical investigation start-up, including feasibility assessment and site evaluation
- Clinical project management
- Monitoring and site management
- Regulatory submissions to competent authorities and ethics committees, including preparing the submission package
- Medical writing to prepare e.g., the clinical investigation plan/report and literature reviews
- Data management and biostatistics
- Vigilance
- Outsourcing services for when you need extra resources/interim solutions
