Overview
The scope of this Workshop is Drug-Device Combination Products that are regulated as medicinal products in Europe. Here, we will have the opportunity to continue the dialogue started at the EMA sponsored workshop that took place in November 2020 and will focus on the current significant challenges brought by Article 117 of the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR), which came into effect in May 2021.
