European legislation for medicines places the emphasis on an assessment of quality, safety and efficacy during the procedure for the granting of marketing authorisations for medicines, in order to protect patient health. The integrated European regulatory system involves the participation of a network of experts from the agencies of the member states that takes part in the European procedures for the authorisation of medicines. On the way to full membership in the EU, candidate countries and potential candidates have to transpose and implement the European directives for medicinal products; they must also strengthen their scientific and administrative capacities. Croatia acquired good experience in implementing the simplified marketing authorisation procedure for medicines authorised in the EU pursuant to the New Collaboration Agreement between Drug Regulatory Authorities in Central and East European Countries (nCADREAC), which helps it to exchange information and prepare for the implementation of European procedures. However, there are still some provisions to transpose before actual full membership, and also dossier upgrading, in which the marketing authorisation holder has to harmonise its documentation about a medicinal product with the requirements of the directives, if a product already on the market was not previously approved in line with current European legislation. Collaboration with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) through an Instrument for Pre-Accession (IPA) provides candidate countries and potential candidates the opportunity for education and training in some regulatory activities as well as the participation of their representatives as observers in some EMA committees and working groups. Some characteristics of the national regulatory frameworks of the countries of South East Europe in their efforts to achieve harmonisation with EU legislation are presented in this paper. 相似文献

BackgroundNew European (EU) pharmacovigilance (PV) legislation, introduced in 2012, widened the scope of an Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) definition so that it also includes noxious and unintended response to a medicinal product arising from the use outside the terms of the marketing authorisation (MA), whereby the use outside the MA also includes off-label use, overdose, misuse, abuse and medication errors (MEs).ObjectivesTo explore the ADRs arising from the use outside the terms of the MA reports in the Croatian pharmacovigilance database.MethodsA retrospective, observational study of the HALMED PV database was undertaken before and after the implementation of the new legislation in Croatia. The outcome measure included ADRs arising from the use of the products outside the terms of the MA. An assessment was performed based on the information provided in a reference document, an SmPC, using predefined criteria.ResultsAmong 679 ADRs included in the analysis, 162 (23,9%) ADR reports were related to the use outside of the MA, 370 (54,5%) were related to the use within the MA and 147 (21,6%) were adjudged as not-assessable. Our study demonstrated a significant increase in the number of ADRs arising from the use outside the terms of the MA after the implementation of the new legislation (P = 0,039), primarily due to a notable increase in the number of overdose reports received by the poisoning centre, while the number of ADRs caused by MEs did not change significantly (p = 0,672).ConclusionThis study elucidated partial implementation of the new EU PV legislation and the need for instilling proper education for patients and HCPs, improving reporting systems and strengthening collaboration between relevant stakeholders. 相似文献

There are two procedures by which new antibacterial agents may be granted marketing authorisation in the EU. The Centralised Procedure involves a single application through the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA). If a positive opinion is advised by the Committee on Proprietary Medicinal Products (CPMP), the European Commission grants a marketing authorisation in all EU Member States (MS). In the Mutual Recognition Procedure, the first EU country to license the drug becomes the Reference MS (RMS) and the company then requests some or all of the other MS to recognise this first authorisation. Both Centralised and Decentralised Procedures result in a Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) which is identical in all EU MS. These EU-wide procedures have made possible the development of CPMP guidance regarding the clinical development of antibacterial agents, the presentation of data on in-vitro activity in SPCs, and the exploration of the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship. In addition, many CPMP guidelines that are applicable to a wide range of drugs, such as that regarding drug development in children, are pertinent to antibacterial agents. 相似文献

The European legislation on medicinal products also addresses the medicinal use of products originating from plants. The objective of the legislation is to ensure the future existence of such products and to consider particular characteristics when assessing quality, efficacy, and safety. Two categories are defined: i) herbal medicinal products can be granted a marketing authorisation; and ii) traditional herbal medicinal products can be granted a registration based on their longstanding use if they are complying with a set of provisions ensuring their safe use. The Committee on Herbal Medicinal Products (HMPC) was established at the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to provide monographs and list entries on herbal substances and preparations thereof. Meanwhile, approx. 100 monographs have been published, which define a current scientific and regulatory standard for efficacy and safety of herbal substances and herbal preparations used in medicinal products. This harmonised European standard will facilitate the availability and adequate use of traditional herbal medicinal products and herbal medicinal products within the European Union. Consequent labelling shall also enable patients and health care professionals to differentiate medicinal products from other product categories like cosmetics, food supplements, and medical devices. 相似文献

AbstractAn environmental risk assessment (ERA) consists of an analysis of the risks to human health and the environment that a medicinal product may cause due to its release during clinical development or after entering the market. Regulators in European Union (EU) and the United States (US) require that advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) that are also genetically modified organisms (GMOs) undergo an ERA in order to be approved for marketing authorization. This work aims to review the regulatory issues that need to be taken into consideration for carrying out an ERA, comparing the EU and the US. The European regulatory framework for environmental procedures and the dissimilarities in its implementation across the Member States and its implications at a logistical level are analyzed in detail. In addition, this review provides a brief insight into the non-clinical and clinical assessments that should be carried out during the development of the product in order to conduct a successful ERA, and thus facilitate its marketing authorization and post-marketing monitoring. Finally, the need for a European harmonization regarding environmental procedures for ATMPs is discussed. 相似文献

Objective To encourage the development of drugs for rare diseases, orphan drug legislation has been introduced in the USA (1983) and
in the EU (2000). Recent literature discusses factors that may influence the development of new orphan medicinal products
in the EU. This study aims to identify predictors for successful marketing authorisation of potential orphan drugs in the
EU.
Methods A comparison between randomly selected authorised and a matched sample of not-yet-authorised orphan drug designations has
been performed. Determinants in the study included characteristics of the indication, of the product and of the sponsor. Data
were collected from the public domain only.
Results Orphan drug approval was strongly associated with previous experience of the sponsor in obtaining approval for another orphan
drug (OR = 17.3, 95% CI = 5.6–53.1). Furthermore, existing synthetic entities compared to biotechnology products tended to
have a higher likelihood of reaching approval status (OR = 3.9, 95% CI = 0.9–16.6).
Conclusion This study showed that experience of a company in developing orphan drugs is an important predictor for subsequent authorisation
of other orphan drugs. The same applies for existing (synthetic) molecules, for which much knowledge is available. Further
research should be directed towards studying the quality of the clinical development program of those designated orphan medicinal
products not reaching approval status. 相似文献

In 2010, the European Regulation for Orphan Medicinal Products (OMPs) was in force for ten years. In this study we assessed possible determinants of applications for OMPs in the EU since 2000 that are associated with a successful marketing authorisation. Our analysis shows that clinical trial characteristics such as demonstrating convincing evidence of a beneficial effect on the primary endpoint, the selection of a clinically relevant endpoint, providing RCT data as pivotal study evidence and the submission of sound dose finding data are critical success factors. In addition, high medical need seems to counterweigh uncertainties about the scientific evidence in the benefit-risk assessment of OMPs. 相似文献

Although regulatory standards and procedures in Europe have improved following the establishment of the European Medicines Agency (EMEA), the number of major issues with marketing authorization applications for biotechnological products remains high. For example, the pivotal clinical trials of some late-stage failures have been found not to meet the regulatory guidelines of the European Union, and regulators are increasingly concerned that attempts to accelerate the process of biotechnological product development leads to the neglect of important issues. Based on the scientific decisions of the EMEA's major scientific committees, in this article we identify and discuss frequent concerns, and suggest approaches that might enable developers of biotechnological products to avoid these common pitfalls. 相似文献

The European Union's (EU) centralized procedure for new drug review was implemented in 1995 to unify the regulatory process and provide EU-wide marketing authorizations for innovative medicinal products. Goals were instituted to ensure the timeliness of the various steps of the process. The EU approved 27 biopharmaceutical products through the centralized procedure during 1995-1999. This study documents the success of the EU in meeting the timeline goals for the group and for separate categories of biopharmaceuticals (recombinant proteins, monoclonal antibodies, and antisense oligonucleotides). A subset of the 27 biopharmaceuticals approved in the EU were also approved in the United States (US). We compared EU and US approval times for these products by product category and by review status (exceptional/non-exceptional circumstance in the EU and priority/standard in the US). 相似文献

In 1989, a European directive extended the definition of proprietary medicinal products, and consequently the necessity to hold a marketing authorization (MA), for all industrially manufactured products, including medicinal gases. In France, the directive 89/341/CEE was transposed in the French law on December 8(th), 1992 and France was the first Member State to implement provisions for the obtention of MAs for gases for medical use. Since then, France has stayed at the forefront in this area. Following the inclusion of gases in the scope of pharmaceutical products, gases require on MA obtained following the same methods as for drugs and be manufactured and distributed in authorized sites. Moreover, the European directive has led the French authorities to classify gases according to their use. Gases for medical use are thus considered either as medicinal products or as medical devices. 相似文献

The aim of the present paper is to address the legal aspects, technical requirements and possible conditions of use associated to low molecular weight heparin generics and biosimilars that are arriving to the market in United States and the European Union, respectively. To this end the concept of "similar biological medicinal product" that was coined in 2003 by the pharmaceutical legislation of the European Union is compared to the concept of generic in the United States and the concept of generic in the European Union. This different legal basis determines directly the technical requirements to obtain a marketing authorisation. Therefore, the chemical/biological, non-clinical and clinical requirements to demonstrate therapeutic equivalence are different in these two Regulatory Authorities, FDA and EMA. Consequently, the possible conditions of use are different. In the United States the products approved as generics by the FDA are considered interchangeable to the Reference Listed Drug. In contrast, the EMA legislation only deals with the approvability or prescribability of the medicines and it is a national / regional decision of the member States to consider these biosimilar products as interchangeable or not. 相似文献

The new paediatric European Union (EU) regulation and the consequent demand for paediatric studies on one hand and the ethical need for minimizing the burden of studies in children on the other hand necessitate optimal techniques in the assessment of safety/efficacy and use of drugs in children. Modelling and simulation (M&S) is one way to circumvent some difficulties in developing medicinal products in children. M&S allows the quantitative use of sparse sampling, characterization and prediction of pharmacokinetics/ pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), extrapolation from adults to children, interpolation between paediatric age subsets, optimal use of scientific literature and in vitro/preclinical data. Together, industry, academia and regulators recognize the usefulness of modelling and simulation in this setting. However, even if M&S is an emerging science, its integration in the EU regulatory decision making is for the time being deficient and M&S expertise is concentrated in big pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions. The European Medicines Agency, acknowledging all the above conditions, organized and hosted a Workshop on Modelling in Paediatric Medicines. The article presents the personal views of the authors on the issues presented and discussed in the workshop. We attempt to identify the regulatory framework for the use of M&S in paediatric medicinal development and to make proposals for model-based paediatric medicinal development. The objective is to open the discussion between industry, academia, paediatricians and regulators on the optimal use of M&S in paediatric medicinal development. 相似文献

The marketing authorization for a new medicinal product is based on the scientific assessment of its quality, safety and efficacy. The marketing authorization application (MAA) which covers all the relevant documentation can be filed in the EU via different application procedures. For peptides and biological products special issues have to be taken into consideration during drug development. Due to special production procedures and the complexity of the active substance itself, peptides and biotech products are subject to specific regulatory requirements. This leads to the necessity to discuss the development program of a new peptide or biotech product with the health authorities on a case by case basis. This article will focus on the special regulatory requirements for peptides and biotech products including the registration procedures as well as technical, preclinical and clinical issues. 相似文献

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are an inevitable part of medication use. During clinical trials, limited information was gained on drug safety. After marketing authorization (MA), more safety data is available as more patients use the drug. Major changes in drug regulation came after drug disasters, like with sulphanilamide elixir or thalidomide use. In recent history, withdrawal of rofecoxib has demonstrated the importance of post-marketing safety monitoring. Subsequently, legislation on drug safety changed both in the United States (US) and in the European Union (EU), becoming simplified and more comprehensive. New EU legislation was implemented in 2012 and has broadened ADR definition to medication errors and overdoses. In the EU, the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) has been formed within the European Medicines Agency (EMA), regulating all aspects of drug safety. Referral procedures enable a thorough scientific analysis on all issues of medication safety. In both the US and the EU, ADRs can be reported directly by patients. All reports of suspected ADRs are kept on electronic databases and are analyzed regularly using new technologies. New safety signals are subsequently discovered and evaluated. This author expects that the new regulations will effectively safeguard healthcare consumers from major drug risks. 相似文献

This article analyses the likely implications for the European pharmaceutical market of 2 European Court rulings (Kohll and Decker) and addresses whether these will contribute to the completion of the single European market. In doing so, the Kohll and Decker cases are discussed and the likely implications of these cases for key stakeholders (patients, providers, payers and the industry) are investigated. Of the 2 cases, the latter has direct application to pharmaceuticals as tradable goods. The article argues that the short term implications for the stakeholders, relating to the freedom of providing goods, may lead to a re-thinking of how pharmaceutical products are financed and provided in European Union (EU) countries in the long term. A key corollary of the Decker case is that it leads to greater transparency and awareness of pharmaceutical price differentials across the member states. As part of this transparency, consumers may benefit directly by gaining access to a product that may not be available in their country of residence, or may be available but at a higher cost. Consumers may also benefit indirectly through greater transparency and efficiency in the long term. Providers may wish to increase their procurement from cheaper sources of the same product and much will depend on their future procurement strategies. Manufacturers will in this case face an increase in parallel trade streams and may respond by not marketing or producing in 'low-price' countries. The rulings add a further supranational dimension to a national policy issue and may have far reaching implications for the EU pharmaceutical market and industry. 相似文献
