Drug Development Planning
Starting Your Journey with the End in Mind – the Value of a Development Plan
Novotech Drug Development Consulting (DDC) can help you establish an intelligent product development program for your drug, biotech, device, or other product. A robust development plan is vital for clarity around the complex processes required to achieve product approval. With the DDC team’s expertise and experience, we can help identify ways to accelerate development and approval from the beginning of the process.
The product development plan informs every part of the journey throughout all phases of program development (Phases I - IV) and commercialization, including research partners and locations, regulator engagement, timelines, budgeting, capital-raising, staff hires, and much more.
The planning process cuts risks, including unexpected regulatory hurdles and costs, and ensures that the development program’s progress aligns with investor expectations, as well as optimising resources throughout the development program.
The development plan also covers any CMC and quality requirements, non-clinical animal studies and other requirements, and the type and scope of clinical studies that may be needed to support product registration. In addition to the typical clinical Phase I, II, and III program, the development plan can highlight any additional studies or other requirements that might be needed to support the application.
Novotech Drug Development Consulting (DDC) can provide expert strategic advice and services across all aspects of product development. With the DDC team’s expertise and experience, we can help identify ways to accelerate and optimise the product development process.
