IVDR and Health Institute Status

Accelerate performance studies for assays subject to IVDR, including early phase clinical trials that test European patient samples.

In clinical trials involving European patients or their samples, adherence to IVDR is mandatory. IVDR necessitates performance studies to provide analytical and clinical evidence, which can lead to increased time and costs in early-phase trials, even when companion diagnostics development is not planned.
