Warning Letter and 483 Response Support

Our team understands the regulatory and compliance complexity that comes with operating a facility that is regulated in multiple markets. In our experience there are times when there are regulatory challenges that are highlighted by clients or global regulators. The management and response to these observations are crucial and require a level of independence and systematic process. Our rapid assessment program and quality improvement plans can lay the foundation for response and remediation of any observation.

Our approach centers on the creation of a plan that is approved by the regulators and builds trust by showing evidence of execution at a pre-defined basis. Solutions are viewed from a systematic perspective and problems are solved holistically.

We understand that each client is unique but our experience has shown that there are often common solutions to observations that preclude having to “re-inventing the wheel” while also delivering services in a financially responsible manner. The following are some of the common services that are requested by our clients.

  • Rapid assessment and Quality Improvement Plans
  • Regulatory response submission and meeting support
  • Regulatory audit responses
  • Warning letter and remediation
  • Consent Decree Support
  • Import and Export Ban
  • People Training
  • Quality Culture transformation

Our rapid assessment program and quality improvement plans can lay the foundation for responding and remediating any observation.

Biosimilar and Regulatory Submission Strategies

We believe that the success of company in biosimilars is dependent on well-conceived strategy coupled with a solid regulatory plan.

It should take into consideration both global and local markets. This is specially important to plan based on the convergence of regulatory expectations of local and global regulatory agencies.

Significant cost savings can be achieve by developing a strategy with :

  • Competitive landscape
  • Multi-faceted product selection model
  • Pricing implications for being second or third entrants
  • Facility over-design and capacity modeling
  • Understanding partnership(s) and negotiation levers
  • Financial models to look at evaluate multi-variable scenario

Biosimilar Strategy

We help companies develop a fully integrated strategy to support long term plans. The strategy includes portfolio assessment, capacity analysis, financial projection and schedule, market analysis, regulatory submission approach, Cost of Goods evaluation, Make-Acquire assessment and facility conceptual design

Regulatory Submission Strategy

BioSciencesCorp offers expertise so companies can evaluate their regulatory strategy and pathway before spending money without knowing what regulators want. Our strategies begin with advice directly from the regulators that provide sponsors with clear direction on their development and clinical requirements.

 

Biosimilars are highly competitive market and many companies are racing to launch product.
As a second or third entrant to the market the impact to pricing could be up to 50%.
We can help model this impact as part of a strategic plan which allows for a more realistic financial assessment.
