Managing development of pharmaceutical formulations and analytical methods

Working in partnership with a range of contract research organisations, Cyton can manage the development of products from the initial concept up to registration. Our experience as independent regulatory consultants will ensure that the development process is accomplished efficiently and in compliance with regulatory requirements.

Gap analysis of data packages

A Cyton gap analysis will determine the most cost effective route to obtain a Marketing Authorisation in your chosen market and confirm the optimum regulatory strategy. Cyton has experience with a wide range of applications - from novel drug substances to generics - and we are familiar with the data requirements for a wide range of dosage forms (including those specific to the veterinary sector). Our gap analysis reports include a high level overview of any deficiencies in your data package and a more detailed analysis of follow-up actions.

Preparation of Quality Overall Summaries (Detailed and Critical Summaries)

Our technical experts have in-depth knowledge of pharmaceutical manufacturing. Cyton can prepare critical summaries to support the chemistry and manufacturing data for new applications, Type II variations and renewals. Using our detailed knowledge of the current regulatory guidance, we can help to justify the data presented, whilst also identifying any deficiencies, in preparation for the assessment process.

Documentation for quality variations

Cyton has the regulatory experience and technical expertise to support you in maintaining regulatory compliance for manufacturing activities post-approval. We can assist with classification of manufacturing variations and preparation of the documentation for variation submissions, including expert statements to support significant changes to chemistry, manufacturing and controls.

Preparation of responses to questions received from regulatory agencies

Our technical experts will prepare effective responses to questions drawing on our long experience in managing Marketing Authorisation Application procedures. Cyton will work with manufacturing and testing sites to confirm regulatory compliance and ensure that responses submitted will meet the necessary requirements whilst minimising the regulatory burden on manufacturing activities.

Review of confidential manufacturing and controls data

Cyton can accelerate the regulatory assessment process with our review of confidential manufacturing and controls data and by supporting the Active Substance Master File holder with significant issues, including the justification for selection of starting materials.
