CMC Regulatory Affairs

From early development to commercial manufacturing, Boyds’ CMC specialists ensure your chemistry, manufacturing, and controls meet global regulatory expectations.

The Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) component of a regulatory submission demonstrates that your product can be consistently manufactured to the right quality standards.

Boyds provides strategic CMC regulatory affairs support for early development, clinical, and marketing submissions – helping you design, document, and defend your approach across the product lifecycle.

With extensive technical, operational, and strategic expertise, Boyds provides trusted support in CMC regulatory affairs.

We have a proven track record in delivering high-quality CMC documentation to support every phase of development across a wide range of therapeutics — including small molecules, biologics, and cell and gene therapy products such as cell therapy, in vivo and ex vivo gene therapy, and tissue-engineered products.

  • Preparation of clear and concise documentation (module 2.3, module 3, IMPD) to facilitate review of the IND/CTA//BLA/NDA/MAA
  • Authoring responses to agency questions
  • Critical review of source reports and regulatory documentation
  • Gap analyses
  • Agency meeting strategy and preparation
  • Strategic support for shelf-life setting, specification review, and managing manufacturing changes
