Regulatory FAQs for developing companion diagnostics

A companion diagnostics (CDx) assay, according to the US-America Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance, is defined as an IVD device which provides information that is essential for the safe and effective use of a corresponding therapeutic product. The need for CDx has been growing in the past decades, along with the number of potential targeted therapies.

In this on-demand webinar we will discuss how every CDx development situation is unique and early discussions with regulatory and developing quality systems are necessary to clarify the biomarker intended use. In addition, we will learn how to evaluate and select the right partner capable to develop strategy using a risk-based approach, file, and commercialize a successful IVD product globally.
