Drug Master Files are required in most countries as supporting documents for the registration of drug products. DMFs generally contain information pertaining to the chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) sections of the drug submission and reflect the drug’s identity, strength, purity and quality. Canada and Australia which are consider as highly regulated markets (HRMs). In CANADA, DMF filing was done through New Drug Submission (NDS) for both drugs and biologic products. They use MF terminology for DMF which contain four types of MASTER FILE- ASMFs, CCS MFs, Excipient MFs, Drug product MFs. In AUSTRALIA different application processes and regulatory requirements apply depending on the type of therapeutic goods that is applied. They consist of eight phase for DMF registration. Where EU guidelines adopted in Australia include references to EU legislation. Now from 2016 onwards most of the regulated countries will use eCTD or their electronic format for their DMF submission. Compare DMF regulatory requirements in the above-mentioned countries so that reader can have clear idea on how to file DMF.

Drug Approval Process

Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs (PRA) is a vital unit in a pharmaceutical company that successfully drives the Research and Development (RandD) efforts of the company to the market. In the present scenario, countries have different regulatory requirements for approval of a new drug. The single regulatory approach for marketing authorization application (MAA) of a new drug product applicable to various countries (on the basis of single dossier) is utmost difficult. Therefore, the knowledge of exact and detailed regulatory requirements for MAA of each country should be known to establish a suitable regulatory strategy. CTD was developed with the aim to provide a common format for the technical documentation that would significantly reduce the time and resources needed to compile applications for registration of human pharmaceuticals and would ease the preparation of electronic submissions. Bioavailability and bioequivalence testing are essential in the drug development process as they create the foundation for regulatory decision making when evaluating formulation changes and lot-to-lot consistency in innovator products. They also serve as the primary components to demonstrate therapeutic equivalence between generic products and the reference innovator product. This article will focus the similarities and differences in drug approval process and requirements of the documents/CTD specifications to the drug regulatory authorities in the Europe, USA and India also focuses on submission and work flow related to bioavailability and bioequivalence studies.

The product registration in the rest of the World is a challenging task because the regions under it are not harmonized. CIS and Latin American regions come under semi-regulated market. These regions have somewhat harmonized their regulatory organization. The significance of an emerging market is increasing globally. It is important for pharmaceutical companies to be up-to-date with the latest regulatory development. Both the regions follow their regional checklist for Drug Product Registration. Latin America includes a group of countries like Brazil, Guatemala and Peru etc, whereas CIS includes Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Armenia and Tajikistan etc.

The Impact

The US FDA’s rule on “Requirements for Submission of Bioequivalence Data” requiring submission of all bioequivalence (BE) studies conducted on the same formulation of the drug product submitted for approval was published in Federal Register in January 2009. With the publication of this rule, we evaluated the impact of data from non-pivotal BE studies in assessing BE and identified the reasons for failed in vivo BE studies for generic oral delayed-release (DR) drug products only. We searched the Agency databases from January 2009 toDecember 2016 to identify Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) submitted for DR drug products containing non-pivotal BE studies. Out of 202 ANDAs, 43 ANDAs contained 102 non-pivotal BE studies. Forty-nine non-pivotal BE studies were conducted on the to-be-marketed (TBM) formulation and 53 were conducted on formulations different from the TBM formulation. These experimental formulations primarily differed in the ratio of components of the enteric coating layer and/or amount (i.e., %w/w) of enteric coating layer. Of the 49 non-pivotal BE studies conducted on the TBM formulation, 41 failed to meet the BE acceptance criteria. The majority of failed non-pivotal BE studies on the TBM DR generic products had insufficient power, which was expected as these studies are exploratory in nature and not designed to have adequate power to pass the BE statistical criteria. In addition, among the failed non-pivotal BE studies on the TBM DR generic products, the most commonly failing pharmacokinetic parameter was Cmax. The data from these non-pivotal BE studies indicate that inadequate BE study design can lead to failure of the BE on the same formulation. Also, the non-pivotal BE studies on formulations different from the TBM formulation help us link the formulation design to the product performance in vivo. This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.

Background: The CIS region has a potential market for India. The registration of the drug products in CIS regions is a challenging task because these countries have no harmonized regulatory organization. The CIS region includes 12 countries such as Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia and Moldova, which require different regulatory guidelines for medicinal product registration as per their FDA guidelines. The different guidelines for the same region become a challenging task for the manufacturer and exporter. The registration of the same product for different countries of CIS is not possible with the same dossier due to the lack of their regulatory harmonization. These countries obey their country-specific dossier format, so to target these market manufacturers and exporters needs to submit different dossier documents for different countries. But Ukraine and Kazakhstan have harmonization and it varies in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Ukraine and Kazakhstan are also imposing strict rules and expecting USFDA level documents for approval. Conclusion: The overall conclusion is that harmonization in CIS is highly imbalanced, which affects both time and cost for product registration. Harmonization is the need of the era for easy product registration, and it will be beneficial for the manufacturer, regulator, importer, exporter, and to access medicines of high public health value.

Introduction. In the development and introduction of medicines into production, the aim of pharmaceutical manufacturers is to comply with the principle of «Quality-by-Design» (QbD). The International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) has created a number of GxP standards, which have become the regulatory framework for the development of documentation regulating the requirements for the development and production of drug products for countries focused on bringing their products to the world pharmaceutical market. The analysis of the system of regulation of pharmaceutical stages of development of new drugs in the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union was not considered, but for the formation of a systematic approach to the management of the process of pharmaceutical development it is necessary to describe them.Aim. To analyze the possibility of applying the QbD principle to the process of drug development at domestic pharmaceutical enterprises.Materials and methods. Content analysis of scientific publications, system and comparative analysis, sociological methods of research in the field of pharmaceutical development.Results and discussions. Regulatory state requirements to the organization and conduct of drug development procedures are analyzed and described. A number of systemic and sectoral problems typical for domestic pharmaceutical manufacturers in the organization of the development and implementation of new drug products. It is established that one of the main problems for Russian enterprises was the organization of the process as a whole and its individual procedures. To solve the problem of organization of procedures for the development and implementation of new medicines, we formed a methodological support, developed on the basis of a systematic approach and international requirements from the quality system.Conclusion. The main problem identified by the manufacturers is the lack of methodological support for the organization of the processes of pharmaceutical development and the introduction of new drugs in the part of research going to the stage of preclinical and clinical development. The decisions adopted by the Eurasian Economic Union do not affect such aspects of pharmaceutical development regulation as the organization of processes, their management and methodological support aimed at the implementation of the QbD principle. To solve this problem, we have developed guidelines for the implementation of the processes of pharmaceutical development and the introduction of new drug products, which allowed us to apply unified and formalized approaches to their organization.
