About this Meeting

Each Masterclass is led by an expert anchor in their field as they dive into their specialty topic in front of a small intimate audience of 8-12 participants. Masterclasses also have an interactive element, allowing you a safe space to share your thoughts and experiences as well as pose questions to the expert anchors.

Getting regulatory clearance/approval for DTx can be challenging, and it requires a learning curve to define the best regulatory strategy for a specific solution. Beyond the regulatory pathways (like the 510k or the de novo), DTx companies can also join voluntary programs that may help make these therapies available as rapidly as possible. In this masterclass led by Tim Marjenin (Vice President of Neurology Regulatory Affairs at MCRA, and former Assistant Director at the FDA), we will focus on the FDA Breakthrough Designation and how DTx companies can successfully navigate it. In more detail, Tim will walk us through: 

  • How does the breakthrough designation differ from the other types of evaluations reviewed by the FDA’s CDRH (Center for Devices and Radiological Health)?  
  • How can we carefully consider the proposed indications to align them with the future reimbursement strategies? 
  • A demonstration of a reasonable expectation of technical and clinical success are the key elements of the submission. How can we clearly articulate them? 
  • What does the threshold for achieving the breakthrough designation depend on?

We would like to remind you that our meetings are small and intimate sessions with a limited number of seats available, therefore we rely on your attendance and participation to ensure a high quality and valuable meeting for all. If you are confirmed for this meeting we ask if you can please ensure your attendance on the day.
