Scientific articles including abstracts
A scientific article is the work that an author submits to a publisher, editor, or producer for publication. Although it is a crucial step in the communication of study results to the scientific community, many investigators lack the experience or simply don’t have the time to create an article fulfilling all expected quality standards. Our experienced Medical Team assists you in writing scientific articles, including abstracts, respecting the publisher’s guidelines.

Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC)
The Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) is a key document that informs healthcare professionals (HCP) on how to use a medicinal product and its safety information. The content is updated throughout the product’s life-cycle as new data emerges. When submitting a new application for registration, renewal or variation, the SmPC must be presented in a format approved by the authorities. Qplus consult helps you with the creation of, or adjustments to this document in line with all regulatory requirements. While the content stays easily accessible and understandable for HCP.

Patient Information Leaflet (PIL)
The Patient Information Leaflet or PIL is based on the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) and communicates information on the safe use of the medicinal product to the patient. Like the SmPC, the PIL must be approved by the authorities at the time of a marketing authorisation, renewal or variation. Our Medical Team drafts the PIL of your medicinal products in compliance with all regulatory requirements and yet easily accessible and understandable for the patient.

Company Core Data Sheet (CCDS)
A Company Core Data Sheet (CCDS) is an internal document prepared by the Marketing Authorisation Holder (MAH) that next to safety information bundles material relating to indications, dosing, pharmacology, and other information concerning the medicinal product. A CCDS ensures aligned labelling around the world and presents the ‘reference safety information’. The creation of this document and keeping it up-to-date forms quite the challenge for many companies due to its complexity and cross-functional character. Our Medical Team has experience in drafting and adapting a product’s CCDS in line with all regulatory requirements.

Common Technical Document (CTD) Module 2: clinical and non-clinical sections
The Common Technical Document (CTD) is a set of specifications to prepare the application dossier for the registration of medicinal products for human use. The format was developed and mutually agreed upon by the European Medicines Agency (EMA, Europe), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA, U.S.) and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (Japan). The CTD is organized into five modules. Module 2 includes all clinical and nonclinical summaries and overviews. Qplus consult has successfully supported different clients in preparing these sections for product registration, either updating an older authorisation dossier or drafting a complete new one.
Contact us if you want assistance or more information.
Summary of Clinical Efficacy
The Summary of Clinical Efficacy includes a tabular listing of all studies that provided information relevant to the efficacy of the medicinal product, a brief overview of the design these studies, and an analysis of efficacy results across the studies.

Hence, the PSUR is updated on an ongoing basis and at defined time points after product’s authorisation. This document is mandatory for both centrally and nationally authorised products. Our medical writers and PV experts assist you with the preparation and writing of your PSUR, making sure you comply with all European standards and requirements as defined in the Good Pharmacovigilance Practice (GVP) guidelines.

For all new medicinal products seeking marketing authorisation, this plan and/or a waiver must be agreed in advance with the European Medicines Agency (EMA). As with all regulatory documents, realistic planning of resources and timelines is crucial to the success of preparing the PIP.

Benefit-Risk Assessment Report
The assessment of the Benefit Risk Report of a medicinal product is a complex activity that sponsors and regulators perform throughout the product life cycle. In order to improve the transparency and consistency of the decision-making process, regulators and sponsors are increasingly adopting a structured approach to the Benefit Risk Assessment Report. For regulators, this document is vitally important in making the determination as to whether or not a marketing application is worthy of approval. Qplus consult has extensive experiencein writing the various components of marketing applications, including Benefit-Risk Assessment Reports, across a wide range of therapeutic fields.
