Risk and Program Management Advisory Group

Building a strong foundation for product approval and commercial success

The FDA may require a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) so it can approve or continue to approve a prescription drug to ensure the benefits outweigh the risks. In some cases, the FDA may require brand and generic sponsors to jointly develop and implement a REMS (called a shared system REMS).

When this happens, it raises an always-complex challenge: How to enable successful collaboration among marketplace competitors in the design, development and implementation of single shared programs that cover multiple assets?

In these cases, it is crucial to have the support of an experienced Program Management Office (PMO).

Our Risk & Program Management team can be your PMO, or we can support individual service needs for many postmarketing requirements/commitments.

Project management processes and methods to help you manage complexity for all of your post-market regulatory needs

Our Risk & Program Management Advisory Group supports pharma clients through the development, implementation, and ongoing management of single and shared Risk Evaluation & Mitigation Strategies (REMS) and other post-marketing risk minimization projects (e.g., postmarketing requirements/commitments, global risk management plans). Services include:

  • Supplemental staff for clients needing associates with REMS and/or post-marketing risk minimization knowledge
  • Project management support and expertise
  • REMS and post-marketing risk minimization strategy and regulatory consulting
  • Submission and assessment support
  • Grant management system and support (e.g., continuing education, educational grants, investigator-sponsored research)

  • Food & Drug Administration (FDA) advisory committee meeting support
