PREMARKET CLINICAL TRIAL

A pre-market clinical investigation, i.e., one performed on a device not yet CE marked, should comply with the MDR.

When conducted under the MDR, they must also comply with any applicable common specification, defined in Article 2(71) of the MDR as a set of technical and/or clinical requirements, other than a standard, that provides a means of complying with the legal obligations applicable to a device, process or system.

AN ESSENTIAL PHASE

Pre-market clinical investigations are usually conducted to produce clinical data to support clinical performance and/or safety in the context of CE marking.

Other key considerations for the selection of a partner for medical device & diagnostic CRO:

Quality

The quality of work is directly linked to compliance with the regulation. It is important to ensure that the medical device CRO Or IVD CRO holds the relevant quality standard documents ISO14155 (European regulation), ISO9001, and ISO13485.

A

Clinical trial Capabilities

Does the clinical research organization have global capabilities and partnerships for the regions where the study will be performed in? Studies often involve working with several vendors so having the full-service capabilities of a clinical research organization will help. Is the CRO able to provide efficiencies for a project for example in providing a CTMS (clinical trial management system)? 

B

Cost

This can be key a factor in selecting a clinical research organization. Comparison with other CROs needs to be comparable (i.e apples with apples) such as comparing unit costs/line items and not overall cost. Does the CRO provide transparency around pass-through costs which can often impact the cost of the clinical trial or PMCF study? If the project costs look very low have all the study specifications included as in future costs may increase significantly with multiple pass-through costs.

This process can be managed by the sponsor for setting the same expectations when assessing clinical research organizations in the process of RFI(request for information) and/or RFP. Implementing a standard comparison process can provide the same set of questions and scope of work for medical device CROs to respond.
