List of abbreviations

1. Recommendation

Based on the review of the data and the Applicant’s response to the CHMP LoQ on quality, <safety>, <clinical> and <risk management plan>, the Rapporteur (s) consider(s) that the generic application for <product name> in the treatment of <claimed indication>,

<is approvable. The Rapporteur considers some points could be resolved after the marketing authorisation. See section 6.>

<A preliminary list of such post authorisation measures <and specific obligations> are in section 6 of this report>.

<could be approvable provided that satisfactory answers are given to the "other concerns" as detailed in the List of Questions. Failure to resolve other concerns may render the application not approvable

<In addition, the Rapporteur recommends conditions for marketing authorisation and product information. (see section 6).>

<However, the answers to the "other concerns" may affect the final product information and/or other conditions for the marketing authorisation.>

<is not approvable since "major objections" have been identified, which preclude a recommendation for marketing authorisation at the present time. The details of these major objections are provided in the List of Outstanding Issues (see section 5).>

<In addition, satisfactory answers must be given to the "other concerns" as detailed in the List of Outstanding Issues.>

<The major objections precluding a recommendation of marketing authorisation, pertain to the following principal deficiencies:>

<Deficiencies arising from concerns over the confidential (ASM - Active Substance Manufacturer restricted part) of the ASMF are mentioned in the appendix (this appendix is not supplied to the MAA). These concerns will be conveyed in confidence to the holder of the ASMF.>

2. Executive summary

2.1. Problem statement

2.2. About the product

<In the case o additional pack-sizes which contain more units than the pack sizes of the reference product, this should be reflected in the overview. Furthermore, it should be confirmed that all pack sizes are consistent with the dosage regimen and duration of use.

2.3. The development programme/Compliance with CHMP Guidance/Scientific Advice

2.4. General comments on compliance with GMP, GLP, GCP

2.5. Type of application and other comments on the submitted dossier

·  Legal basis

3. Scientific overview and discussion

The structure of this AR is in accordance with the Day 120 LoQ and shall be updated at the different stages of the CHMP review (Day 180/CHMP AR/EPAR) so as to constitute a self standing document. See also the Day 80 Overview Guidance.

It should therefore be sufficiently detailed to eventually be used for the CHMP (Withdrawal)AR and (W)EPAR and give sufficient justifications for the LoQ/LoI as appropriate.

Summary of the safety concerns [to be assessed by the CHMP rapporteur]

[Please copy table from RMP Part II Module SVIII]

The applicant identified the following safety concerns in the RMP:

Table XX: Summary of the Safety Concerns

Summary of safety concerns /
Important identified risks / <List here>
Important potential risks / <List here>
Missing information / <List here>

[Please update the scientific discussion if any.]

<New safety specification that should be taken into account by the PRAC>


Pharmacovigilance Plan [to be assessed by the PRAC rapporteur]

[Please copy RMP table III.3 (only studies of categories 1-3)]

Table X: Ongoing and planned studies in the PhV development plan

Activity/Study title (type of activity, study title [if known] category 1-3)* / Objectives / Safety concerns addressed / Status Planned, started, / Date for submission of interim or final reports (planned or actual) /

*Category 1 are imposed activities considered key to the benefit risk of the product.

Category 2 are specific obligations

Category 3 are required additional PhV activity (to address specific safety concerns or to measure effectiveness of risk minimisation measures)

[Please update the scientific discussion on pharmacovigilance activities if any, including PASS and PAES.]

Risk minimisation measures for <product name(s)> [to be assessed by the PRAC rapporteur]

[The RMP may cover more than one medicinal product. In some circumstances risk minimisation measures may be specified per product, or certain risks may not be relevant to all products.]

[Please copy table from RMP section V.3.]

Table XX: Summary table of additional Risk Minimisation Measures [only for safety concerns that require additional risk minimisation measures]

<The public summary of the RMP < may require<does not require> revision. >

<PRAC Outcome>

If applicable, the outcome of the PRAC plenary discussion should be added in that section, the above sections should be updated at the time of the circulation of the updated CHMP overview AR.

3.5. Pharmacovigilance system

<The (Co)Rapporteur considers that the pharmacovigilance system summary submitted by the applicant fulfils the requirements of Article 8(3) of Directive 2001/83/EC.>
