Medpace Regulatory Submissions teams deliver a well-coordinated, collaborative
approach that is critical to every phase of global trials. Our unique team structure
ensures each Sponsor benefits from global expertise in every aspect – from writing
informed consents, to translations, to working with regulatory authorities and ethics
committees.
Working directly with your local Clinical Research Associate, as well as Regulatory,
Safety and Contract Groups, a fully dedicated specialist oversees all aspects of
your investigator document collection and submissions, including:
- Regulatory Agency and IRB/EC submissions.
- Procurement of Import/Export license, as applicable.
- Compilation of initial submissions, amendments, notifications, and closeout submissions.
- Collection, review, and approval of site essential documents.
Medpace has extensive experience submitting clinical trials in over 30 countries
and has strategic regional presence throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, South Africa,
and the Americas.
Every country and site are different, and Medpace global submissions teams have
extensive experience in the execution of multiple Clinical Trial Agreements (site,
investigator, laboratory, etc.). Always concerned with protecting your liability,
your submissions team collaborates and consults with dedicated Medpace in-house
attorneys to finalize all contracts and agreements, saving Sponsors up to a week
in turnaround time.
Proactive, strategic, and experienced
Working within our global standard operating procedures (SOPs), our dedicated specialists
coordinate and oversee the study activities at project start-up and throughout the
study. We rigorously maintain timelines for study start-up, ensuring your trial
is delivered on time and on budget. And, we track metrics on all studies to better
estimate new study submissions timelines.
Medpace creates a customized approach designed specifically to meet your submission
process, including:
- Country-specific submissions guidelines
- Local contact information
- Translation procedures
- Informed Consent Form (ICF) negotiation guidelines
Our proactive and experienced employees are always ready to provide advice and guidance
to Sponsors and investigative sites to ensure compliance with appropriate regulations
and requirements. And because our teams work with documents every day, they are
quick to recognize and flag any issues.
