VBS can provide practical regulatory affairs advice at all stages of product development, from the early concept stage, through process and product development, up to and beyond submission of a dossier for marketing authorisation or biologics licence. We would recommend that regulatory input be initiated early on, but we can usually help at any stage of project development. VBS can provide strategic guidance as well as practical feedback. Our input may highlight a new regulatory avenue, leading to a more efficient development plan.

VBS understands and can interpret regulatory scenarios for clients. Input during the pre-submission phase of a project can prove to be vital; strategies for interacting with regulatory agencies contribute towards achieving consensus at scientific advice and pre-submission meetings.
