Sharing knowledge - Simultaneous National Scientific Advice

Did you know that the EU Innovation Network has launched Phase 2 of the Simultaneous National Scientific Advice (SNSA) pilot, placing emphasis on scientific advice to facilitate clinical trials within Europe, particularly when more than one Member State is to be involved?

Traditionally, sponsors would need to approach each national competent authority (NCA) individually, which could lead to varying feedback and potentially conflicting advice. The SNSA option facilitates a more efficient and cohesive regulatory process.

All applicants are welcome and SMEs in particular are strongly encouraged to use this route to gain:
✅ Consistency and alignment in regulatory advice, reducing risk of discrepancies during the Clinical Trial Application (CTA) assessment
✅Possibility to obtain a CTCG-coordinated clinical trial expert feedback
✅Saving time and resources through access to a streamlined process
✅Early identification of concerns in trial design and increase chance of CTA approval

Thanks a lot to Faramarz Moshfegh and Gunhild Klarskov Kristiansen for organizing this fantastic event and to all the participants for the discussions! I believe we all agree that we'll keep pushing the boundaries on what is possible and which methodologies to use to make you the expert on your compound, bringing much needed and safe drugs to patients in need. Reach out to Ozack ApS to hear more on how to engage #regulators on this journey!

ACT EU by the EMA on DIA EU 2023

With the initiative of ACT EU (Accelerating Clinical Trials in EU) the European Medicines Agency (EMA) aims to change the decline observed in the conduct of clinical trials in EU. One of the drivers is a successful implementation of the new Clinical Trial Regulation (CTR) which has high priority at EMA. Contact us if you want to hear more about the initiatives included in the ACT EU.

1 year of CTIS in Belgium

The Belgian Agency shared their experiences after 1 year of the Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR) at a meeting in Brussels. Ozack joined the discussion at FAMPH this week on the benefits and problems to solve in the future.
The Agency stressed they do everything to make the CTR work for us all and invites the sponsors to approach them prior to submitting a Clinical Trial Application, in order to make the path to approval smoother. What more, they emphasized the benefits of the Simultaneous National Scientific Advice (SNSA), where you can involve your intended Reporting Member State (RMS) and concerned Member State (cMS), to establish communication and partnership early on in your development path. #clinicaltrials

DIA 2022 in Chigago

- Poor explanation of rationale = negative effect on application approval
- Excessive length, repetition, verbose = main document quality issue
These are some key findings from a survey of regulators opinion, shown at session on "Medical/regulatory writing in the view of the regulator" at DIA 2022 Global Meeting.
This confirms the value of well written dossiers for regulatory submissions.

Ozack shares knowledge on CTIS

Is your company ready for the EU Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR)? In the Biotech Salon, organized by the DANSK BIOTEK, two Ozackians Ann Christine Korsgaard and Ivana Glatzova, joined by Lene Grejs Petersen from the DKMA, shared their knowledge within the CTR and the new Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

Key takeaways from this meeting were to see how the transition into the new Regulation will look, what functionalities the CTIS provides, and that we can offer a helping hand if you would need it.

Sharing knowledge on National Scientific Advice

Why seek advice from one or two National Regulatory Agencies in EU and not directly EMA? Well.....
💡 National Advice offers the opportunity to meet, discuss and receive extra helpful advice. EMA Advice is usually written procedure only.
💡 Your Clinical Trial Applications in EU are approved per country by the national agencies and NOT EMA.
💡 Clarifying expectations to increase the likelihood of success of the clinical trial in your lead country is achieved through national advice.

Global drug development Webinar in Japan

Several hundred participants signed up for this meeting! The number shows a significant unmet regulatory need for understanding the non-Japanese regulatory environment.
Ozack ApS presented at this webinar in Japan last week, arranged by A2 Healthcare Corporation at their office in Tokyo. The purpose was to provide insights to Japanese companies on the many opportunities for engaging regulators in EU and US on the clinical development plan.
Another seed is planted for more early global drug development - hopefully!

Connecting the Regulatory options in EU and US with Japan

The world is getting "smaller" and yet there are still many different ways of achieving regulatory success with pharmaceuticals in EU compared to US and Japan. On April 15th at Kansai Pharmaceutical Industry Association (KPIA) in Osaka, it was a pleasure - together with Ingrid Brück Bøgh - to share strategic regulatory and nonclinical expertise and insights on the EU/US environment with the aim of facilitating early global drug development for Japanese companies. Thanks to Masami Tamura and KPIA for enabling this meeting.

Novel Approach Technologies meeting

It's a week of novelties, from yesterday's meeting on #CMC to today's inspirational presentations on Novel Approach Technologies, or NAMs. We heard about how neuronal networks can predict the effect of compounds on introducing seizures (the neurobiologist in me was amazed by this), a NAM currently being introduced to regulators. #Regulatory agencies are open to the approaches and as always, it's good to involve them early. You have various options, INTRRACT meetings with #FDA and ITF meetings with #EMA, to name just a few. Thanks to Medicon Valley Alliance for organizing this meeting- it was great to exchange ideas with familiar and new faces!
