Key facts

The First-in-Human CRO in Peru — we run trials there

bioaccess® is the CRO in Peru and CRO en Perú. Miami headquarters. We run first-in-human device studies under INS authorization and accredited ethics-committee review. That is the operating identity — not a Peruvian legal entity we do not publish, and not a country we talk sponsors out of.

The National Institute of Health (INS), through its Directorate of Health Research and Innovation (DIIS, formerly OGITT), authorizes clinical trials. DIGEMID regulates medical devices under the Ministry of Health (MINSA) and issues the investigational-device import authorization. Those names are already public on this hub. Clocks move, stall, or come back with questions. That is a file problem for the CRO that already works the docket — not a reason to take the study out of Peru.

This hub already publishes a 40-business-day INS statutory target — extended to 60 business days for biologics or cases that require technical-commission review. Those targets derive from the drug-trial framework, and novel first-in-human device studies may take longer. We will not invent a new Peru clinical-trial clock. Headline ~30% lower per-patient cost versus typical US/EU programs is already on this hub and is experience since 2010, not a formal study. Eligibility of foreign data for FDA submission and review under 21 CFR 812.28 is not a guarantee of clearance or approval.

Regulatory framework

CRO in Peru / CRO en Perú

bioaccess® owns this category: Miami HQ, in-country operations, and the INS / DIGEMID file on one timeline. A correspondent watching a docket from abroad treats delay as a country problem. The CRO on the file treats delay as ethics alignment, INS responses, DIGEMID import, and site activation. That is how Global Trial Accelerators™ is meant to run.

INS clocks already on this hub — not a new median

INS (DIIS) reviews submissions under a 40-business-day statutory target — extended to 60 business days for biologics or cases that require review by a technical commission. These windows derive from the drug-trial framework, and novel first-in-human device studies may take longer. That language is already on this hub. We will not publish an invented day-count. Ask for a study-specific calendar. The country stays on the execution list.

INS / DIIS — the trial authority already on this page

The National Institute of Health (INS) is Peru's authority for clinical trial authorization. Its Directorate of Health Research and Innovation (DIIS, formerly OGITT) reviews submissions. Those names are already public on this hub. Sponsors submit a Spanish protocol package. bioaccess® prepares complete INS dossiers and stays on the deficiency cycle. We do not invent a Peruvian legal entity to do that work.

DIGEMID — devices and investigational import, already on this page

Medical devices in Peru are regulated by DIGEMID (Dirección General de Medicamentos, Insumos y Drogas) under the Ministry of Health (MINSA). DIGEMID also issues the investigational device import authorization required to ship product into Peru. A clinical-trial authorization and a commercial device registration are different files. This hub does not quote LATAM Launch subscription pricing.

Accredited ethics committee review

Every clinical study in Peru must be approved by an accredited ethics committee before enrollment can begin. Ethics review follows ISO 14155 (the FDA-recognized GCP standard for medical device investigations) and evaluates scientific merit, risk-benefit balance, informed consent, and patient protection. bioaccess® coordinates ethics submissions with partner committees. We do not operate a named Peruvian hospital.

FDA data acceptance under 21 CFR 812.28

Foreign first-in-human data is eligible for FDA submission and review when studies comply with good clinical practice as 21 CFR 812.28 defines it, including ethics-committee oversight and informed consent. bioaccess® designs Peru studies with FDA submission in mind, including electronic data capture and structured safety reporting. Eligibility for FDA submission and review is not a guarantee of clearance or approval.

Key advantages

Consideration New clinical trial DIGEMID device / import file
bioaccess® current recommendationActively executed. We run trials in Peru.Separate live file already named on this hub
Primary reasonINS clocks treated as a file problem — no new clock inventedInvestigational import and commercial registration are not the trial permit
Regulatory instrumentINS (DIIS) clinical-trial authorizationDIGEMID under MINSA (devices + investigational import)
Already-published clock40-business-day statutory target; 60 for biologics / technical commission; FIH device may exceedHolder / subscription pricing is not on this hub
Where to go nextThis page / CRO in Peru articleSame operating identity; two files, one kickoff

INS 40-business-day statutory target, 60-business-day biologics / technical-commission target, DIGEMID device and import roles, accredited ethics review, ~30% lower (experience-based) cost, and near-US-East-Coast time zone are already published on this hub. Novel FIH device studies may take longer than the drug-trial targets. We will not invent a new Peru clinical-trial clock. Eligibility under 21 CFR 812.28 is not FDA clearance or approval.
