New Market for European Company - A North American Case Study
A prominent European aesthetic dermatology company sought approval in the USA for a line of dermatological products. In a fierce bidding process with US-based and multinational CROs, ethica was awarded the contract to manage the studies. The client was impressed with ethica’s achievements, judging the study proposal as most comprehensive and cost-effective.
The client challenged ethica to complete the numerous studies in this research program within a short time frame. ethica’s agile team assembled a group of dedicated, full-capacity clinical managers including clinical research associates, data management staff, and biostatisticians. A senior project manager served as single point of contact for all studies. This specialized team of professionals delivered personalized service and timely communication.
Since 2014 five studies were completed and a sixth initiated. ethica’s employee turnover rate is so low that the same professionals continue to manage all studies for this client. Thanks to its team, therapeutic areas of clinical research expertise, and experience with Canadian and US regulations, ethica was allowed a high degree of autonomy in this North American research program for the commercialization of three dermatological devices. During this time, the FDA audited ethica’s Canadian office. The ethica team was proud to learn the inspection yielded no FDA Form 483. The client’s dermatological products received FDA premarket approvals in addition to FDA and Health Canada approval for several clinical indications. The client continues to partner with ethica to obtain additional commercialization approvals.
