What is the CPC?
A group of leading companies in the drug, device and biologics industries, the CPC works to improve the regulatory environment for combination products by developing and advocating policy positions on regulatory issues affecting combination products. The unique cross-industry membership of the CPC enables diverse thinking that leads to sound policies. This diversity distinguishes the CPC from other industry organizations.

• You'll be heard. With the CPC, you'll have a significant voice in decisions made and positions taken. Unlike large, traditional trade organizations, the CPC is a small but strong group of companies that works as a team.
• You'll learn a lot. Members meet regularly to share their experiences and thoughts on regulatory strategies involving combination products. The dynamic group discussions provide a learning forum that benefits even the most experienced professionals.
• You'll get things done. The CPC's active agenda and energetic membership ensures that things get done when they need to get done. Whether identifying and tackling issues of concern to members or responding to regulator's proposed regulations and policies, the CPC takes action.
• You'll be on the cutting edge. As a CPC member, you will be thrown in the thick of all the exciting issues and activities on the horizon. The January Summit on Issues Involving Combination Products, co-sponsored by RAPS and the CPC is just one example.
