Orphan Drug Designations

Our flagship product. We write orphan drug designation (ODD) applications for both the FDA and EMA. With an ODD, the sponsor may receive economic benefits designed to support their drug development process and commercialization.

Regulatory Strategy

No matter where you are in your orphan drug development lifecycle, we can assess your program and bring a solid regulatory strategy to help expedite achieving your goals and ensure you are using all the regulatory perks at your disposal.

Meetings with the FDA
(Interact, pre-IND, Type A, B, C)

From the pre-IND meeting to the pre-NDA/-BLA, you will meet with the Agency to gain insight into their thinking into your drug development. We know how to optimize these meetings so that you can get your questions answered and get the most out of the FDA to help expedite your program.

INDs

Prior to first-in-human studies, you must file an IND with FDA to demonstrate that it is safe to use your drug. After being informed by a pre-IND meeting, we will go through your data and write your IND for submission to the Agency.

Submissions for Expedited Programs

o Breakthrough Therapy
o Fast Track
o Accelerated Approval
o Priority Review

Additional Services and Programs

o Qualified Infectious Disease Program (QIDP) Designation
o 505(b)(2)
