Submission Pathway Defined

An updated version of the preliminary regulatory pathway you expect will be used to approve your solution.
The regulatory pathway that your solution must follow will have a tremendous impact on the development cost and time it takes to reach patients. Understanding that pathway early may allow you to adjust the solution or application to find an easier path to the initial product. It also helps you understand the type of information you will need to collect as your development effort proceeds.
Web sites of regulatory agencies, discussions with regulatory experts, observations/discussions with companies/managers who have successfully gotten regulatory approvals for similar solutions. The process will also typically involve a consideration of reduced product claims that may provide an expedited pathway to market. If US focused, follow the FDA’s guidance to determine the most appropriate pathway. Consider if market introduction is best through a different regulatory body – but only those such as EU and Australia that are recognized as having robust systems.
