About Us

Our value proposition is straightforward: we focus on fast-track & least burdensome submissions.

In the US, CDx may be classified as Class III or Class II by the US FDA. At Pro-Business Consulting, we specialise in guiding Pharma and Diagnostic companies through the complex regulatory landscape of Companion Diagnostic (CDx) with the US FDA. We provide comprehensive support across all phases of product development starting from (1) initial request from CBER/CDER on discussions with CDRH, (2) regulatory path negotiations with CDRH, or with CDER/CBER, (3) significant risk vs non-significant risk determination, (4) preparation & submission of IDE or abbreviated IDE (5) CDx development under a robust Quality Management System (QMS) as Clinical Trial Assay (CTA) or co-development with therapeutics for contemporaneous approval. We cover everything from feasibility testing and development to verification, validation, assay transfer, and commercial use.

Our tailored consulting services are designed to reduce time to market and make it easy for the US FDA to collaborate with you, allowing you to concentrate on innovation and deliver precision medicine to patients in a timely manner.
