Veterinary clinical studies
Our veterinary consultants have decades of experience in designing and implementing veterinary clinical studies. As the approval processes for licensing veterinary drugs and biologics varies depending on the regulatory jurisdiction, we first ensure the that veterinary studies are developed and implemented in compliance with regulatory requirements.
For example, veterinary pharmaceuticals (e.g., veterinary drugs) are regulated by the FDA-Center for Veterinary Medicine whereas veterinary biologics (veterinary vaccines, immune modulators, and certain diagnostic kits) are regulated by the USDA-Center for Veterinary Biologics. Animal Health Consultants can help clients navigate the regulatory requirements for conducting pilot and pivotal studies for drugs, biologics, medical devices and other veterinary products.
Veterinary regulatory guidance
One of the most important aspects to consider early in development is which agency has regulatory jurisdiction, as there are different requirements depending on if the product is defined as a veterinary drug, biologic, animal medical device, or other type of veterinary product. Animal Health Consultants will define the regulatory pathway and what requirements apply, and if there is any questions we will obtain regulatory confirmation from the FDA-CVM or USDA-CVB.
Afterwards, we can prepare submissions to the appropriate veterinary regulatory agency, create development plans and standard operating procedures, and manage the regulatory approval process for veterinary drugs, biologics, diagnostics, cell-based therapies and other veterinary products.
