Regulatory and ethics framework in Georgia

Georgia is not part of the EU CTIS system, so studies follow national regulatory and ethics procedures, including arrangements for the import of investigational product. We confirm the current requirements for your protocol during feasibility.

Typical start-up workstreams in Georgia

  • Country feasibility: review of the protocol against local standard of care, investigator interest and patient availability.
  • Regulatory and ethics submissions: preparation, translation and tracking of submission packages and responses to authority questions.
  • Contracts and budgets: site agreements, budget negotiation and insurance documentation.
  • Site activation: qualification, training, essential documents and investigational product logistics.
  • Conduct and oversight: monitoring, issue escalation and sponsor reporting through close-out.

Timelines, authority requirements and site capacity change over time, so we confirm current conditions for your protocol during feasibility rather than quoting generic figures.

Multi-country studies

Many sponsors combine Georgia with neighbouring countries to reach enrolment targets.
