Comparison USA FDA, Health Canada, and EMA The regulatory body in USA is the FDA, in the European Union the EMA, the European Commission and the national authorities of the EU member states and in the Canada the Health Canada handle the drug review processes. Each agency has their own distinctive approaches to approve drugs biologics and medical devices. The globalization of the pharmaceutical industry, harmonising the drug regulatory approval process of the US FDA and EU EMA, and Health Canada is essential to speed up the progress of new treatments. The main goal of all agencies is to put a drug in the market in safe, efficient and faster. We will examine here the agencies’ approval process time frame and other drug approval pathways.

Centralized Authorization Procedure -pharmaceutical companies needs to submit a ‘dossier’ of scientific information on quality, efficacy and safety to support a single marketing authorization application to EMA to market the medicine throughout the EU including European Economic Area countries Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Two committees of EMA; Committee for Medicinal products for Human Use (CHMP) or Committee for Medicinal products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) conduct a scientific evaluation of the application and give an opinion on about drug to market or not to market (EMA,2016). The centralized procedure is essential for human medicines containing a new active substance to treat HIV or AIDS, cancer, Diabetes, neurodegerative dieses, autoimmune diseases and viral diseases biologics, advance therapy Medicine, orphan medicines and veterinary medicines. 2. National Authorization Procedure- The most of medicines available in the EU were authorized at national level, either because they got approval before EMA’s establishment or they were out of the scope of the centralized procedure scope. Each EU Member State has its own national authorization procedures.If a company desires to get marketing authorization of their product in numerous EU Member States which is out of centralized procedure scope, they can apply through one of the following …show more content…
If a new drug has potential therapeutic value that outweighs the risks an applicant needs to submit drug submission for new drug or biologic to the Health Canada’s Health Products and Food Branch (HPFB) to pursue a review and, ultimately, regulatory approval (Health Canada, 2016). Canadian regulations need preclinical and clinical trials to get a marketing approval in Canada. The HPFB assesses and observes the safety, efficacy and quality of drugs used for human and animal, medical devices, natural health and other therapeutic products. A manufacturer may apply for the Generic product via Abbreviated NDS (ANDS). In Canada, medical devices are divided into four classes based on the level of risk connected with their use, Class I devices present the lowest potential risk like thermometers that do not require a medical device license. Class II, III and IV devices required a medical device license to sell the products legally in the
When a pharmaceutical company creates a new drug, it has to go through the FDA and is required to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA. The FDA reviews the application to assure that there is an objective proof that the proposed drug is safe and effective. If the
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view--until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." A quote by Atticus Finch a loving single father of two children in a novel by Harper Lee. The story takes place during the 1930s and the Great Depression, in a small (made-up) town called Maycomb Alabama. Scout now an adult is narrating what she experienced and felt in ages 6-9. She gives details of her family, school, and just everything she goes through. In the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird, she also talks about her brother Jem, who starts as a careless young boy that slowly starts getting more mature. Jem changing throughout the story helps show a little bit more of how the story develops and why character development is important in making a good novel.
These new guidelines will allow for a 12-year period of data exclusivity for new branded biologics. During the 12- year period, rivals are not allowed to use any prior data to try to come up with their own product. Before, the passage of the ACA, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA), could not legally approve new biologic medicines because they had to have clinical trials. This law opened up the regulatory guidelines for the FDA to approve
“Pharmaceutical companies have a lot of money invested and push the FDA to approve their applications: “For example, since the 1938 legislation placed the burden of proof on the FDA when it came to challenging or delaying drug approvals, the agency's actions depended primarily on its budget. Larger budgets from politicians could engender greater scrutiny and more challenges of new drugs. Instead of reputation's facilitating such power, increased budgets and the pursuit of the agency's mission could also explain agency actions during 1944-61 “(FDA). “The Revitalization Act of 2007 further empowered the FDA. Legislation aimed at strengthening the US Food and Drug Politics are also played out in the media and indirectly influences whether an application is approved or removed such as
This formed trade-off leads the FDA to unpleasant consequences which is why it’s important for them to collect information, about the drug and the political parties involved, that can help determine when to reject or accept a reviewed drug. In addition to that, delaying an approval can cause issues with the political parties involved in the drug or the specific disease. With new drug application (NDA), it gets a bit tricky. First, if an NDA for a disease with very few to no recent drugs being developed was reviewed, it would be hard to refuse it due to possible political consequences. Second, the FDA puts its reputation at risk everytime an NDA is being reviewed and possibly approved. Furthermore, the decision for a drug is based on three important characteristics: inherent uncertainty, asymmetric observability of error, and low reputational
Even though this article is very brief the information is invaluable. The former commissioner had great objectives and a vision of the FDA that was realistic with the current medication “crisis.” (Chain Drug Review 2003) The paper also informs the totality of McClellan’s view including the United Nations, Canada, and Africa as partners in the plan to bring more access to
The main center within the FDA for the evaluation of medication is known as the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. The center evaluates all drugs before they are sold. It currently evaluates more than 10,000 drugs that are on the market to ensure that highest standards of those drugs. They also monitor media broadcasts to make sure that messages portrayed are truthful to consumers. Lastly, they provide health care professionals as well as consumer’s information pertaining safest and most effective ways to use drugs. There are three phases that the CDER uses when evaluating drug.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that is responsible for assuring the safety, efficiency, and quality of drugs and vaccines. In America a drug must first be evaluated by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), which is a division of the FDA, before it gets approved for sale. This means that the department must make sure that the medicine been evaluated works properly and that its health benefits are greater than its identified risks. A company or a sponsor that is introducing the new drug initially performs a laboratory and animal tests to determine the safety and the effectiveness of the drug in humans. Once this step is successfully completed, several tests are implemented in people to confirm that the drug is safe when used to treat a disease and whether it provides a real health benefit. Finally, results of the tests that prove the safety and the effectiveness of the treatment are sent to the CDER. After a group of experts at CDER reviews the submitted evidence and ensures that the medicine's health benefits surpass its known risks, the drug can then be sold around the US (Development & Approval Process (Drugs), 2014).
Also, FDA asked for premarket review of drug’s efficacy and safety. FDA made drug approval process very easy they also provide guidance documents and answer all the questions. Most people things it made approval process very hard and they don’t complete it in time but history shows that it saves many lives. iv FDA is also responsible for speeding the process of innovation that helps to make new safe and effective drugs, also food and drug supply in effective time. It provides greater safety to the nation from terrorist attack. It’s like protective layer that that improves human health although sometimes time something bad happens, people blames FDA. we don’t understand but it has a greater responsibility then we can think. Pharmaceutical companies always blame FDA that they don’t approve their product in
To better understand the issues associated with the prescription drug industry, it would first be best to understand their development and approval process. For a new drug to enter the market, it must first undergo a lengthy and often expensive research and development. Once a company submits an application for a new drug, it is their responsibility to provide the evidence showing its safety and effectiveness. Until they have undergone these criteria of guidelines and standards set in place, they will not receive FDA approval.

This Guideline has been developed by the appropriate ICH Expert Working Group and has been subject to consultation by the regulatory parties, in accordance with the ICH Process. At Step 4 of the Process the final draft is recommended for adoption to the regulatory bodies of the European Union, Japan and USA.
The agreement of ROI to the European Treaty in 1973 on 1 January has had and has a profound effect on all legislation including the area of pharmacy. EU legislation predominantly comes in the form of directives or regulations. Regulations are considered mandatory in their totality where-as directives allow for implementation into national law sanctioning countries to incorporate it using their own methods as long as the outcome is achieved (Weedle and Clarke 2011). Therefore with a directive there is an overshadowing concern that the extent of implementation may not be the same across member states which will be demonstrated in a moment.
