Your challenge:

You would like to start a clinical study in Europe, Switzerland or the UK and notice that for a drug study or a MD/IVD study in Europe a so-called “legal representative” is required?

You would like to apply for "orphan designation" (ODD) in the EU to receive incentives for developing orphan drugs and notice that ODD must be held by a legal entity based in the EU?

What exactly does this mean for you?

A sponsor company that does not have a subsidiary in the European Union and wants to carry out a clinical study in the EU needs a “legal representative”. This applies to clinical studies with test substances according to the Clinical Trial Regulation (CTR) and/or medical devices according to the Medical Device Regulation (MDR).

In detail: Regulations (EU) 536/2014 for Clinical Drug Trials (CTR), Regulation (EU) 2017/745 for Medical Devices (MDR) and Regulation (EU) 2017/746, the In-Vitro-Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation (IVDR) require that a sponsor who is not based in the EU must appoint a representative if this sponsor wishes to conduct a clinical study in the EU.
Orphan Medicinal Product Regulation requires that the sponsor seeking to obtain the designation of a medicinal product (=drug) as an orphan medicinal product must be established in the EU.
