Annex 4

Collaborative Procedure in Assessment and Accelerated National Registration of Pharmaceutical Products Approved by Stringent Regulatory Authorities – Pilot Assisted the by the WHO Prequalification Team.

Proposed documentation for collaborative registration process for SRA-approved medicinal products

Notes:

For the pilot phase, it is proposed to select such SRA approved dossiers, for which the API section is covered by an APIMF or a CEP.

The format of the documentation corresponds to CTD in accordance with ICH format/content . From practical reasons non/clinical (Modul IV) and clinical data (Modul V) are replaced by summaries included in Module II. Should there be a need of more extensive data from the Modul IV and Modul V, these are available on request.

Confidentiality of submitted data and no-disclosure to a third party is – in addition to relevant national legislation and organizational measures applied by NMRs participating in the pilot - assured by a commitment on confidentiality that represents integral part of the piloted Procedure[1] (Annex 1), is signed by representatives of participating NMRAs and archived by WHO-PQT.

*See documentation requirement for line extensions below /
2.7 / Clinical Summary ** / YES / No submission of 2.5
Module 2.7 identical to the one submitted to the SRA /

* In case of line extension, since 2.6 is usually not available (since we cross refer to the initial NDE) we do provide 2.4 and 2.5 and 2.7 (if available).

**In the case of generic medicines where a Clinical Summary is not available, the Clinical Overview (Module 2.5) should be included.
