What we do

End-to-end execution is provided for phase I–IV and clinical trials, complemented by real-world evidence and market access services. Quality-by-Design (QbD) principles guide protocol development; Risk-Based Quality Management (RBQM) and standards from the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) are embedded from planning to reporting. Hybrid and Decentralized Clinical Trial (DCT) elements are incorporated where they reduce burden without compromising data integrity.

 safety-management plans, case processing, signal detection, periodic safety reports, safety governance, and inspection readiness.

Medical Devices

Clinical and regulatory strategies are assembled for devices and diagnostics from early feasibility through post-market follow-up. Clinical investigations follow good clinical practice for medical devices. Clinical Evaluation Reports and Clinical Evaluation Plans as well as Performance Evaluation Reports (PERs) for in-vitro diagnostics, are developed to meet European and regional expectations and are adapted for country-specific registrations. Usability, risk, and safety files are integrated to maintain a coherent technical dossier.

Cosmetics

Kernel supports cosmetic brands from concept to compliant market launch and long-term post-market stewardship. We align marketing ambition with scientific evidence and regulatory clarity so that claims are defensible, timelines are predictable, and documentation is inspection-ready.

Services across the Cosmetic lifecycle

Regulatory strategy and registration

Formula review, International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) checks, artwork in Arabic and English, country notifications and listings, and preparation of the Product Information File (PIF).

Claims substantiation

Ethically designed clinical, instrumental, and consumer studies with statistics that support clear, compliant claims.

Post-market surveillance and change control

Structured complaint management, periodic compliance checks, and artwork or formula updates across Stock Keeping Units (SKUs).

Scientific and regulatory writing

Study protocols, reports ready for regulators and retailers, concise marketing summaries, and technical responses to authority queries.

Claims Substantiation (detailed)

Purpose. Claims substantiation establishes credible, reproducible evidence that a product delivers its promised benefits under intended conditions of use. We design studies that connect instrumental measurements, clinician assessments, and Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) so that the story is both scientifically sound and consumer-relevant.

Study designs. We employ randomized or controlled designs, split-face or intra-subject comparisons, and cross-over where suitable. Inclusion and exclusion criteria, sample size, application regimen, washout, and time points are set to reflect real use while preserving internal validity.

    How we translate rules
    into your study plan

    Define

    Define the claim and map it to the six Common Criteria.

    Select

    Select appropriate proof types (instrumental study, expert grading, consumer perception, literature).

    Pre‑specify

    Pre‑specify methods and endpoints; standardize imaging and grading across visits.

    Document

    Document methodology, results, and limitations; maintain audit‑ready archives.

    Draft

    Draft conservative, regulator‑aware claim wording aligned to the generated evidence.
