Why we must update our trials

The MDR is now implemented in every member state in Europe.

If you are just in the process of submitting a new trial, but it has not started yet, the Authorities will expect that you submit it in compliance with the MDR.

If you sponsor a trial that is already ongoing, you must update your safety procedures in accordance with the MDR by the deadline of May 26, 2021.

What does it mean to you?

• Your ongoing studies will need an amendment to gain approval for the changes
• Your planning and timelines will be affected by the new application procedures
• Your safety management must consider new definitions, process and timelines
• You will need to upgrade the essential study documents (protocol, IB, informed consent) to comply with new requirements

Are you ready?

• As the implementation of the EU MDR has already proven to be a complex and challenging process, it is important to ensure you are going in the right direction.
• For example, there are increased requirements surrounding the study design justification, greater focus on risk management, and more emphasis on patient rights and privacy.
• With Eudamed not yet available, national variations and adjustments have been implemented by the Member States. Are you aware of these special rules that apply to your study?
