Management of development projects: preparation, execution, and control of your product’s development plan

Our dedicated and experienced Product Development unit supports you in getting your product on the right track by identifying its strengths and weaknesses, setting up a feasible and cost-efficient development plan and then implementing and controlling it.

Our team support you in finding the right partners for further development, e.g. for formulation development, manufacturing, preclinical development, and to coordinate their work. They will keep an eye on the budgets and timelines. With the support of our specialist team, your development project will run smoothly.

Regulatory affairs: development of the regulatory strategy, dossier preparation and submission, post-registration management

What is the fastest and most cost-efficient strategy for your product to the market? Our regulatory affairs unit will help. We analyse your project to find out what still needs to be done before a dossier can be submitted to obtain a marketing authorisation, and write, compile, validate and submit that dossier, as well as negotiate with agencies.

Even after obtaining marketing authorisation, our job is not yet done. If you need help with pharmacovigilance, KLIFOVET offers full pharmacovigilance services and supports you during lifecycle management, including the application for variations and extensions.

Clinical studies in all target animal species: preparation, implementation, analysis and reporting

KLIFOVET has conducted clinical studies in all companion and livestock species since 1997. We test the safety and efficacy of veterinary pharmaceuticals, biologicals, immunologicals, feed additives and feed.

From study design consultancy and site selection through to investigator training, risk-based monitoring, tailor-made data capture and management solutions to the final study report, your clinical study is in experts hands with us.

Data management and statistics: capture planning and setup, data processing

Our in-house developed EDC solution Studybase® was the first exclusively developed and fully validated for Animal Health studies. Automatic checks and electronic notifications make sure your study goes as planned at any time. Automated translations make its use comfortable, also for large, multi-centric studies.

If you prefer paper-based data entry, we will make sure your data stays free from errors during the whole process: by double data entry, random and plausibility checks, and greening. KLIFOVET provides all statistical services including analysis, interpretation, and reporting. Our data management services can be contracted in the framework of a study or as an independent service.

Quality assurance and management: data and site audits and consultancy

Our quality assurance unit makes sure your site, processes, studies or files are compliant with current quality standards. We offer contract quality management for different certifications, permissions, and licences for veterinary CROs, veterinary pharma companies, manufacturers, importers, and distributors of veterinary medicinal products, veterinary pharmacovigilance systems and practices / clinics.

Training: public and customised training on all animal health topics

We offer some public training sessions and webinars every year, on common subjects such as VICH GCP and veterinary clinical studies, or on more recent hot topics in animal health. We also offer customised in-house training at your workplace. Training sessions are held by a KLIFOVET expert on the specific subject.
