About

Shepherd

We’ll help you plan, implement, and manage Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) programs with confidence

When you realize your drug may require a REMS program, it can add a significant layer of complication to your commercialization efforts (not to mention cost).

But, with just over 60 REMS programs for currently marketed products, it’s not something that is widely understood. There are only a handful of experts with the experience, resources, and connections to effectively evaluate options around REMS and efficiently manage programs to ensure you support safe use and maximize patient access.

The good news? Shepherd consists of some of the most experienced REMS experts on the planet, and we’re here to help.

Featured Services

REMS Strategy

When it comes to REMS programs, every drug is considered on a case-by-case basis, and there are many questions and nuances to consider. With our deep knowledge of the REMS space, including evolving FDA guidelines on REMS, REMS precedents, and REMS vendor capabilities, we’ll provide the insight and guidance you need to evaluate options while bringing added confidence to your decision-making process.

REMS Program Management

Shared REMS programs are a cost-effective way to manage multiple drugs that require the same REMS, whether that be from generic manufacturers who come together after a patent expiry or for a class-wide REMS program. At Shepherd, we leverage our patent-pending REMS PMO portal, combined with our white-glove approach to project management, to streamline shared REMS engagement for manufacturers and make decision-making easy.
