Exclusion or exemption from risk regulation?: A comparative analysis of proposals to amend the EU GMO legislation: EMBO reports: Vol 0, No 0. International Harmonization of Drug Rules. Publication date: Jun 2, 2017 author/source: Richard Daverman, PhD China has been accepted as a member of the ICH (International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use).
The ICH is a world-wide organization, originally set up by the US, Europe and Japan in 1990 to standardize global drug regulations (approvals, good manufacturing practices, etc). The news means that China intends to continue reforms that will bring China drug regulation into line with international standards. Because of the acceptance, it should become easier for drugmakers, in China and ex-China, to bring their products across borders.
Instant China approvals for drugs from multinational pharmas are not likely to happen, any more than a Japan approval currently implies simultaneous acceptance in the US. China Joins ICH as Full Regulatory Member, Pledges to Implement Guidelines. China's Regulatory Reform and its Contribution to Global Pharmaceutical Innovation. Song Ruilin, chairman of the China Pharmaceutical Innovation and Research Development Association (PhIRDA) highlights the leaps and bounds with which the Chinese pharmaceutical industry has developed in recent years, the country’s increasingly important role in the global innovation landscape, and why cross-border collaboration is more crucial than ever in the time of COVID-19.
In today’s globalized world, no single country can stand alone In recent years, with the unfolding of reforms within the pharmaceutical regulatory landscape and the establishment of a more open and inclusive capital markets structure, China has been working to improve its policy environment in order to encourage pharmaceutical innovation. Accordingly, the Chinese pharmaceutical industry has advanced in leaps and bounds. As the reforms have advanced, the regulatory hurdles impeding innovation have been steadily eliminated.

Digital Health Apps In Europe The Road To Reimbursement Goes Through Security. By John Giantsidis, president, CyberActa, Inc.
Mobile digital health applications store sensitive and personal data, from pulse rate, sleep rhythm records to medication plans, as well as medical prescriptions and certificates. They connect users to appropriate services and act as communication hubs. A compromised smartphone can unintentionally disclose the entire digital life of a patient or user. Thus, establishing suitable security standards for mobile applications is critical. Two European countries have been leading the way in developing minimum security requirements for digital health applications. In September 2020, Spain’s National Cryptologic Center (CCN) issued a road map to its own minimum security requirements for digital health applications and e-health mobile apps.3 Based on the BSI guidance, these requirements are now in effect in Spain.
Purpose. Principles of benefit-risk assessment: A focus on some practical applications. In 2009 the FDA began an initiative to develop a structured method for BR assessments, and concluded that a qualitative descriptive approach could be sufficient while acknowledging that quantification of certain components of the assessment was important to support decision-making [9].
The PROTECT project (2009-2015) funded by the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), was a public-private partnership between the European Union and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) and aimed to address limitations of current methods used in pharmacovigilance and pharmacoepidemiology and to significantly strengthen the monitoring of benefit-risk of medicines marketed in Europe [10].
One of the BR methods used in the PROTECT project and applied to various case studies was the BRAT framework [11]. This is a descriptive framework, based on six main steps which are shown below [5]. DAC. DAC is the Data Analytics Centre of the Danish Medicines Agency located in Copenhagen, Denmark.
DAC will enable the Danish Medicines Agency to offer new types of scientific advice to the pharmaceutical companies on the development of new medicines, including medicines for people with rare diseases and small patient groups. About DAC. European Medicines Agency. EMA is preparing guidance on the impact of EU data protection legislation on the secondary use of health data in support of the development, evaluation and supervision of medicines.
The aim is to help medicine developers, data providers and research bodies comply with EU data protection rules, and to help patients and consumers understand their rights and the existing safeguards to protect personal data.

Taking a leap towards global supply chain efficiency DIGITAL FINAL ENG. Asia regulatory conference IFPMA ARC 2020. Rwe white paper 2017. Case studies - CRC Australia. Problem Our client required a new publication for electronic platforms to communicate in a few short minutes the development of a first in class, innovative non-invasive saliva based glucose monitoring solution focused on improving the quality of life of people living with diabetes.
Proposal It was essential the short piece contain key messages about the biosensor that multiple audiences could understand (e.g. consumers, healthcare professionals, investors, payers) and which were grounded on complete information and relevant insights from key speakers representing different viewpoints. Therefore, to increase audience awareness, understanding and interest in the biosensor, CRC created strategy to tell the story from ‘multiple lenses’, i.e. scientific, medical and humanistic perspectives, i.e. the biosensor inventor, the clinician and individuals with diabetes, respectively. Action Plan A six-minute video clip included the following story chapters: Examining the Impact of Real-World Evidence (RWE) on Medical Product Development : Health and Medicine Division.
At workshop 2, Adrian Hernandez, Duke University School of Medicine, presented on a suite of trials that compared novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) to warfarin, all of which utilized RWD and consistently showed that NOACs were non-inferior to warfarin.
He posed a question for consideration: What questions characterize the use of a RWD source and signal reliability before a study is performed? At workshop 3, Jeff Allen, Friends of Cancer Research, presented a pilot project that investigated the performance of real-world endpoints among patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. The project demonstrated that several real-world endpoints correlate well with overall survival, and showed that overall survival rates assessed from EHR and claims data were consistent with rates observed in clinical trials.

Overview Information Participating Organization(s) System for Evaluation of the National Regulatory Authorities for Medicines. Assessment of national regulatory authorities for medicines The process of evaluation and assessment of NRAs is based on verification of the indicators included in the data collection tool.
This instrument is based on the recommendations of the World Health Organization for strengthening the regulatory bodies. The assessment of NRAs is based on fulfillment of critical indicators (46% of the indicators in the data collection tool). Four levels of development have been established. Level 4 is the level that enables PAHO to designate the regulatory body as a reference authority for medicines and biologicals. How the MHRA will manage orphan medicinal products from 1 January 2021 in Great Britain (GB) The MHRA will offer incentives in the form of market exclusivity and full or partial refunds for marketing authorisation fees to encourage the development of medicines in rare diseases. Waiver from scientific advice fees will also be available for UK based SMEs. See the UK Rare diseases strategy for other supportive activities.
Application process The MHRA will be responsible for reviewing applications from companies for orphan designation at the time of a marketing authorisation application (MAA). There is no pre-marketing authorisation orphan designation. How to apply Marketing Authorisation Applicants should submit the Great Britain Orphan Drug Designation Application Form (MS Word Document, 831KB) with their MAA in module 1.2 of the eCTD, specifically indicating in the cover letter their intention to seek an orphan designation.
Applications for orphan designation will be examined by the MHRA’s advisory committee, the Commission on Human Medicines (CHM). Market exclusivity period.

Genetic modification (GM) is a technology for altering the genetic make-up (the DNA) of living organisms so they are able to make new substances or perform new or different functions. Genetic modification is sometimes referred to as genetic engineering, or GE. Like all organisms new to New Zealand, genetically modified organisms potentially have positive or negative effects on the environment, the economy and our society.
Coronavirus Treatment Acceleration Program (CTAP) What is CTAP? FDA has created a special emergency program for possible coronavirus therapies, the Coronavirus Treatment Acceleration Program (CTAP). The program uses every available method to move new treatments to patients as quickly as possible, while at the same time finding out whether they are helpful or harmful. We continue to support clinical trials that are testing new treatments for COVID so that we gain valuable knowledge about their safety and effectiveness. Please see our Frequently Asked Questions page for more information on the program.

Full article: A clarion call for understanding regulatory processes for additive manufacturing in the health sector. Introduction: As Additive Manufacturing (AM) in the health sector evolves to the point where products can be translated into the clinic, these manufactured goods need to be assessed by regulators in order for such products to be manufactured, sold, and used in accordance with the law. In this article, the authors argue that if AM products in the health sector are to be regulated in the near future, stakeholders involved in translational research need to understand the challenges faced by both regulators and industry.

Walkingtheallergytightrope. EMA receives application for conditional authorisation of first COVID-19 treatment in the EU. EMA has now received an application for conditional marketing authorisation (CMA) of the antiviral medicine remdesivir for the treatment of COVID-19 and has formally started its evaluation. The assessment of the benefits and risks of remdesivir is being performed under a reduced timeline and an opinion could be issued within weeks, depending on the robustness of the data submitted and whether further information is required to support the evaluation. Such a short timeframe will only be possible because some data have already been assessed during the first cycle of the rolling review, which started on 30 April and was concluded on 15 May.
