Course overview

Combination Products
for Pharmaceuticals

The MDR has introduced new requirements for medicinal products with an integral device. Because we understand that new requirements can be complex, we've devised a course to help you navigate the complicated regulatory landscape of the challenges associated with drug-device combination products.

This 6-hour course will address the European regulatory requirements for combination products, help you define the regulatory route for your product and offer practical guidance on Article 117 requirements. By the end of this training, you will understand the Notified Body process and get clarity on expectations for technical documentation. You will also be introduced to the MDR Annex I GSPRs and receive an update on available guidance.

This course is delivered virtually using Zoom and is fully interactive, offering you the chance to take part in group activities, participate in polls and download course materials.
