CASE STUDY
A Turn-Around on Market Authorization
HIC SOLUTIONS / FDA Authorization: After a strategic analysis of the sponsor’s prior FDA correspondence, HIC developed the strategy and secured the FDA marketing authorization after developing the appropriate regulatory & clinical pathways.
CHALLENGES: Before HIC involvement, the sponsor struggled to present their novel treatment to the FDA in an effective manner. Unfortunately, this resulted in several deficiencies and rejections communicated by the FDA.
BACKGROUND: The client’s state-of-the-art treatment and delivery system, which was more compact and cost-efficient, required HIC’s FDA expertise to ensure a successful regulatory and clinical pathway for approval.
