Why choose Envision for REMS and post-marketing safety?
Shepherd Safety Services, part of Envision Pharma Group, provides specialized Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) and post-marketing safety solutions, including Risk Management Plans (RMPs), Controlled Access Programs (CAPs), and patient registries. Our experts help organizations evaluate risk, design practical programs, and manage ongoing compliance while balancing patient safety, operational efficiency, and commercial objectives.

Objective, strategic
recommendations

Our guidance is strategic and pragmatic. We treat your REMS program as part of the broader patient and provider journey, with recommendations driven by your product's risk profile, regulatory requirements, patient needs, HCP workflows, and product goals. We don’t fit your program to a standard template, we build it around what your product actually requires.

Deep REMS expertise,
proven in practice

With experience spanning 30+ REMS programs, our specialists understand evolving FDA expectations, ETASU requirements, and real-world implementation challenges, helping clients avoid costly delays, compliance risks, and operational challenges.

Protect patient access
and product adoption

The most effective REMS programs balance safety with usability. We design programs that meet regulatory requirements while minimizing burden on healthcare providers, patients, and support teams, helping reduce barriers to therapy access while supporting successful launch and adoption
Is your therapy likely to require REMS?

REMS requirements can emerge unexpectedly, particularly for therapies with complex safety profiles.

Early assessment gives you time to prepare for potential FDA requirements and protect launch timelines. It also lets you build the right infrastructure from the start, one that fits how providers already work and coordinates with your other product and patient support programs, so meeting safety obligations is straightforward for the providers responsible for them.

Therapies that may warrant REMS assessment include:

Examples are illustrative only. REMS requirements are determined by the FDA based on a product’s specific benefit-risk profile and safety considerations.
