Outsource your clinical QP and auditing needs to Rexpharma to increase your EU compliance and reduce you departmental complexity.
Where Clinical Manufacturers/Sponsors wish to supply an EU clinical trial with IMP, each batch needs to have a QP batch certificate issued by an EU QP.
Rather than establishing a company in the EU, Manufacturers/Sponsors have the option of outsourcing this batch certification step to a specialist company such as Rexpharma.
QP Batch Certification of human IMP on behalf of third party Clients is the core service at Rexpharma.
Outsourcing with Rexpharma saves Clients the difficulty, expense, and challenge of:
Recruitment of local staff & payroll
Navigating the complexities of EU finance, HR, insurance, & tax laws
Acquiring an EU clinical authorisation for their QP function
Hosting periodic regulatory inspections by an EU competent authority
Rexpharma performs QP batch certification upon importation of the IMP into the EU and releases the batch on behalf of the Sponsor for onward supply to European clinical trials.
Rexpharma has an approved EU GMP operation established and ready to provide this fully outsourced service to Clients.
For your Clinical Trial Application (CTA) in the EU, your regulatory function will require an EU QP to issue a QP Declaration for the regulatory application.
This QP Declaration is document that outlines all non-EU manufacturers and quality control facilities have been assessed and found to be equivalent to EU facilities (from a GMP perspective).
It is key to work with your EU QP to ensure all audits are in place and acceptable to allow for QP Declaration issuance.
