Regolamento (EU) n. 536/2014 sulle sperimentazioni cliniche
31/01/2023
Dopo il periodo di transizione, dalla data odierna 31 gennaio 2023 tutte le procedure di autorizzazione della sperimentazione clinica devono obbligatoriamente essere richieste seguendo quanto contenuto nel nuovo Regolamento (EU) n. 536/2014 sulle sperimentazioni cliniche di medicinali per uso umano.
L’obiettivo del Regolamento è l’armonizzazione della disciplina europea in materia di sperimentazioni cliniche, per garantire standard di sicurezza elevati per i pazienti/soggetti e per rafforzare la collaborazione degli Stati Membri. Il Regolamento introduce una procedura armonizzata per la valutazione delle domande di autorizzazione, articolata in tre fasi: convalida, valutazione; e decisione.
Per ottenere l’autorizzazione, il promotore della sperimentazione deve presentare mediante il portale CTIS (Clinical Trials Information System) di EMA, un fascicolo di domanda agli Stati membri interessati in cui intende condurre la sperimentazione stessa, proponendo uno Stato membro relatore (Reporting Member State).
Restiamo a disposizione per fornire ulteriori informazioni del caso e per supportare i Clienti in tutti gli step necessari per ottenere riscontro positivo da parte di EMA.

Market Surveillance of Medical Devices
22/11/2022
All manufacturers of medical devices (MDs) must minimize the risk posed by their MDs and ensure patient safety. Post-market surveillance is thus mandatory. According to the new MDR (EU 2017/745), systematic monitoring is needed following a precise frequency.
For Class I, Is, Im, and Ir MDs, every 4 years at a minimum (the submission to notified bodies is not required). For Class II MDs a PSUR (Periodic Safety Update report) is required every two years at a minimum (upon request the report must be available to the relevant notified body and competent health authority).
For Class IIb MDs a PSUR is required annually (upon request the report must be available to the relevant notified body and competent health authority).
For Class III MDs and implants a PSUR is required to be submitted annually using the EUDAMED system.
We can for sure assist all manufacturers in such activities; do not hesitate to contact us at info@blymum.com

COVID AS A SAE IN CLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS
03/06/2021
SARS-CoV-2 aka Covid-19 is an untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical sign (including abnormal laboratory findings) which is currently affecting some of the subjects enrolled in clinical studies. It is a Serious Adverse Event (SAE) that can lead to death or serious deterioration in the health of subjects, their families, or other persons.
We are currently monitoring a Randomized Double Blind Placebo Controlled Clinical Study to evaluate the efficacy of a specific Medical Device. Because of Covid-19 we have registered a statistically significant increase of drop-outs, dangerously approaching the threshold of subjects that we have set as the drop-out limit for the termination of the clinical investigation on statistical grounds.
The teaching is clear: during SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic, while defining the statistical design, the methods and the analytical procedures of a new clinical investigation, pay higher attention to the sample size, since it can be conditioned by further unpredictable occurrences. You will avoid additional enrollments, extra amendments to the CIP and preserve the robustness of the statistical results within previewed deadlines.

SELF WELLBEING | body | mind | work | world
30/11/2020
Several researches, such as the one from
Euromonitor International (https://go.euromonitor.com/white-paper-ch-2020-health-by-generation.html ) confirm the continuous and global increase in the fragility and discomfort of people. Being aware of the several individual difficulties and their impact on personal well-being, we decided to rethink the settings of our Livella® program dedicated to the management of Self-Wellbeing.
The Livella® philosophy and methodology, inspired by the
physiological modulation theory (https://www.blymum.com/contents/files/PAPER-PH.MODULATORS-CORNELLI.pdf ), is currently focused on improving physical (BODY) and mental (MIND) health. However, work and social relationships, in difficult contexts as it is today for many, become truly crucial for existence and personal comfort and prosperity.
Consequently, from now on, Livella® Self-Wellbeing professional consulting and mentoring integrates also Self-Management, Self-Marketing and Self-Innovation tracks for the management of the working sphere and interpersonal relationships. Livella®, our approach to the balance management of the human being, will be defined by the proportions among BODY, MIND, WORK and WORLD dimensions, with tangible benefits for both people, companies and the market.
