Overcome regulatory, scientific and technical challenges ensuring compliance, flexibility on the production capability and on-time delivery.
A vital part of the clinical trial, marketing application, or post-approval strategy is CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls). We help you reach your next milestone by providing scientific and regulatory expertise in all areas of CMC development. In order to ensure your program progresses as scheduled, you need sharp specialized guidance and support during Drug Substance and Drug Product development. At VCLS, we understand how to anticipate and overcome potential difficulties in the development of new chemical entities and biologics, including cell and gene therapy. Our team can also help you with post-approval strategies.
Bridging Technical and Regulatory Expertise
Our CMC experts in the US and EU cover global development taking into account both the FDA and European Health Authorities guidance. They pragmatically address the various regulatory and technical aspects of CMC, as required by your product complexity and taking into consideration the stage of your development, as well as the evolving quality and regulatory environment. They have navigated at the interface of regulatory, scientific and technical challenges while keeping close interactions with nonclinical and clinical colleagues, as well as regulatory agencies and experts.
We know that innovation is often driven by small to medium-sized companies; therefore, we provide services adapted to your budget and timelines with prompt reactivity and flexibility as a high-quality extension to your team.
