Fees for reviewing research with a medicinal product and research with a medical device
In the Netherlands, national fees are set for medical-ethical review of research with a medicinal product, a medical device and a medical device for in-vitro diagnostics.
These are fees for the assessment of clinical trials into:
- Medicinal products: Research files falling within the scope of the EU Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 (CTR) for research with a medicinal product. The fees for research files submitted via CTIS are collected by the CCMO.
- Medical devices: Research files carried out for conformity purposes, article 62/74.2 of the EU Medical Device Regulation 2017/745 (MDR). For other research files falling within the scope of the MDR (MDR article 74.1 or 82) the fee of the review committee concerned applies instead of the national fee. These fees are collected by the relevant ethics committee (accredited MREC).
- In vitro diagnostic medical devices: Research files within the scope of Article 58/70.2 of the EU In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation 2017/746, also known as the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR). These fees will apply from 1 January 2023 and will be collected by the relevant ethics committee (accredited MREC).

** A resubmission refers to the resubmission of the (complete) dossier after a previous withdrawal, lapsed submission during the assessment phase or after a negative decision. Resubmission may involve the primary submission, but also the dossier for a modification. It does not refer to the assessment of the response and/or modified or supplemented documents in an ongoing assessment.
