Performance studies generate the clinical evidence needed to support regulatory approval of in vitro diagnostic devices and companion diagnostics.
Under both European and U.S. frameworks, the Sponsor carries ultimate responsibility for the scientific validity, ethical conduct and regulatory compliance of the study.
However, the way sponsorship is structured can significantly influence:
- regulatory accountability
- control of clinical evidence
- operational efficiency
- data ownership for regulatory submissions
This white paper clarifies the responsibilities attached to the Sponsor role and provides practical guidance for manufacturers, pharmaceutical partners and CROs involved in IVD performance studies.
