Pleiad Services for Medical Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical (Therapeutics) Companies

The Pleiad Europe team has extensive medical biotechnology and pharmaceutical regulatory and development experience and is skilled at resolving the issues that innovative companies face. We have experience of working with new chemical and biological entities as well as generics, herbals, functional foods, drug-device combinations and borderline substances.

Commissions usually begin with a meeting between the potential client company and Pleiad at which any issues and the ways in which Pleiad might assist are explored. There is no charge for this meeting. A detailed work plan with appropriate milestones, fees and expense budget is then agreed and work commences. Fees are either based on a daily rate consultancy charge or on a fee-for-service basis.

Successful product development and commercialisation provide the focus for the services provided by Pleiad Europe to therapeutic companies:

Of particular interest to European clients might be the services that the Pleiad group offers in the USA such as:

  • Management of clinical trials in the USA including the attendant regulatory documentation.
  • “Reality checks” on development programmes initially designed for Europe. This includes an assessment of the regulatory acceptability, the clinical feasibility and the suitability of the programme for the US market, taking into account the different healthcare system and regulatory expectations in the USA compared to Europe.
  • Negotiation with the FDA at programme design, clinical trial and dossier submission stages (pre-IND, end-of-Phase II and pre-NDA stages).
  • Explanation of, guidance through and management of the IND and NDA/BLA approval systems in the USA.
