ARCSA
Ecuador's Agency for the Regulation, Control, and Sanitary Surveillance of Health Products.
What it means
ARCSA (Agencia de Regulación, Control y Vigilancia Sanitaria) regulates medicines, medical devices, cosmetics, and clinical trials in Ecuador. It reviews Spanish submissions and has specific requirements for product registration and trial authorization.
Why it matters for LATAM submissions
Ecuador's trial ecosystem is expanding. ARCSA's review process benefits from regulator-specific Spanish translations that reflect Ecuadorian usage rather than regional Spanish variants.
