Throughout the device development process, preclinical testing plays an important role in developing, evaluating, and even marketing a particular product.  From feasibility through Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), different types of studies serve to investigate different aspects of development.  Proof of concept, feasibility, model development, chronic feasibility, GLP, and training studies each have their optimal place in the process and build upon each other.  It is important to identify, early, where you are in the process and what type of study can be of maximum benefit to the client.  Working together with experts from regulatory, biostatistics, and clinical at specific times during these preclinical studies helps to mitigate risk, add confidence in intended claims, and can easily shorten timelines. 

During this webinar attendees will learn:

  • The different types of preclinical studies as they pertain to the overall device development process.  
  • How to identify opportunities to work cross-functionally with other experts to strengthen studies and overall regulatory strategy, and even shorten timelines—saving you money.
