Drug and Auto-injector Registration in the EU Market

QUICK FACTS

CLIENT
International Drug & Device Manufacturer

SERVICES SUPPLIED 
  • Regulatory Pathway to Combination Product registration in the EU
  • Recommendation of Notified Body - EU, CE Marking
  • Audit on Device Essential Requirements
  • Audit on ISO - 13485:2016 Standard Requirements (Device GMP)

​WHERE​
  • ​European Union
OBJECTIVE

Registration of a drug (cartridge) and auto-injector (pen) delivery system primarily in the EU market.  The drug was previously licensed in the EU through the EMA (European Medicines Agency)

SOLUTION DETAILS

In a combination product, such as this, what needs to be proven is that the device delivery system brings no deleterious effects to the drug.  In the EU market, hiring a Notified Body, who had expertise in assessing auto-injectors, to CE Mark the product for the European market was the first stop.  Assessing the company's data on compliance against the EU Device Essential Requirements checklist was the next step in the regulatory process.  Organizing extractable/leachable testing for the drug cartridges was also needed and became the next step in the project.  Then conducting mock audits of the manufacturing facilities involved in producing the multi-component auto-injector, against ISO-13485:2016 (global device GMP) standards, were then conducted.  This became the Conformity Assessment pathway chosen between the client and Notified Body.

OUTCOME

In the following the strategy and step-wise project layout, the client:
  • Received a CE Mark on the device components of the combination system
  • Received a combination product license with EMA (European Medicines Agency)
  • Received an ISO-13485:2016 Certificate for the manufacturing facility.
​Because of project planning and timely execution, the whole project was completed in approximately 12 months.
