Key Topic 1: Legitimate Business Need

Here are some examples of activities or materials where there could be a legitimate business need to include off label information:

  • Advisory Boards
  • Clinical trial documentation or meeting
  • HTA (health technology appraisal) submission
  • Development partnership
  • Business development enquiry
  • Market research
  • Regulatory submissions
  • Information for prospective employees

Some of these, such as regulatory submissions, will not require nominated signatory review. However within a medical function you are most likely to be involved with materials and activities related to ‘scientific exchange’.
