Case Studies

Extensive Open FDA Inspection
Findings Fully Resolved

BACKGROUND

A clinical trial site network was having difficulty bringing in new studies to its sites because it had five open 483s from FDA inspections over the preceding year.

CHALLENGES

Because FDA had not yet closed out the inspections, the site network was in limbo and its business was at risk. Using our deep expertise in clinical trials and FDA operations, HIC investigated the situation with FDA and worked with each principal investigator to augment their 483 response to better address FDA’s observations.

RESULT

FDA was satisfied with the augmented responses and closed out all 483s soon after HIC’s intervention. The site network was able to return to business as usual, with an enhanced understanding of how best to engage and collaborate with FDA.

A Turn-Around
on Market Authorization

BACKGROUND

The client’s state-of-the-art treatment and delivery system, which was more compact and cost-efficient, required HIC’s FDA expertise to ensure a successful regulatory and clinical pathway for approval.

CHALLENGES

Before HIC involvement, the sponsor struggled to present their novel treatment to the FDA in an effective manner. Unfortunately, this resulted in several deficiencies and rejections communicated by the FDA.

RESULT

After a strategic analysis of the sponsor’s prior FDA correspondence, HIC developed the strategy and secured the FDA marketing authorization after developing the appropriate regulatory & clinical pathways.
