Regulatory Update: Egypt

Mastering Regulatory Compliance: Insights from Egypt’s New Preclinical and Clinical Testing Guideline

Egypt’s Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA) is reinforcing its commitment to medical device regulation by introducing comprehensive guidelines that align with the latest scientific advancements. On October 8, 2024, the EDA released the first edition of the "Guideline for Preclinical Testing and Clinical Investigation for Medical Devices," a regulatory document designed to enhance the safety, quality, and efficacy of medical devices incorporating advanced technologies.

Key Highlights of the Guideline

The newly released guideline provides structured regulatory guidance for the design and execution of preclinical and clinical studies, ensuring compliance with global standards while addressing local regulatory requirements. Key aspects include:

• Preclinical Testing: Essential requirements for evaluating the safety and performance of medical devices before clinical use.

• Clinical Investigation: Guidelines on conducting ethical and scientifically sound clinical trials to generate robust clinical evidence.

• Advanced Technologies: Regulatory considerations for medical devices that incorporate cutting-edge innovations, ensuring patient safety and efficacy.

This initiative underscores Egypt’s commitment to fostering a regulatory environment that supports innovation while maintaining stringent safety and quality standards for medical devices.
