Explanatory notes
The notes below give a brief explanation of the main sections and headings in the CHMP agenda and should be read in conjunction with the agenda or the minutes. Oral explanations (section 2) The items listed in this section are those for which marketing authorisation holders (MAHs) or applicants have been invited to the CHMP plenary meeting to address questions raised by the Committee. Oral explanations normally relate to on-going applications (section 3, 4 and 5) or referral procedures (section 10) but can relate to any other issue for which the CHMP would like to discuss with company representatives in person. Initial applications (section 3) This section lists applications for marketing authorisations of new medicines that are to be discussed by the Committee. Section 3.1 is for medicinal products nearing the end of the evaluation and for which the CHMP is expected to adopt an opinion at this meeting on whether marketing authorisation should be granted. Once adopted, the CHMP opinion will be forwarded to the European Commission for a final legally binding decision valid throughout the EU. The other items in the section are listed depending on the stage of the evaluation, which is shown graphically below:
The assessment of an application for a new medicine takes up to 210 'active' days. This active evaluation time is interrupted by at least one 'clock-stop' during which time the applicant prepares the answers to questions from the CHMP. The clock stop happens after day 120 and may also happen after day 180, when the CHMP has adopted a list of questions or outstanding issues to be addressed by the company. Related discussions are listed in the agenda under sections 3.2 (Day 180 List of outstanding issues) and 3.3 (Day 120 list of questions). CHMP discussions may also occur at any other stage of the evaluation, and these are listed under section 3.4, update on ongoing new applications for centralised procedures. The assessment leads to an opinion from the CHMP by day 210. Following a CHMP opinion the European Commission takes usually 67 days to issue a legally binding decision (i.e. by day 277 of the procedure). CHMP discussions on products that have received a CHMP opinion and are awaiting a decision are listed under section 3.6, products in the decision making phase.
Page 33/35
Extension of marketing authorisations according to Annex I of Reg. 1234/2008 (section 4) Extensions of marketing authorisations are applications for the change or addition of new strengths, formulations or routes of administration to existing marketing authorisations. Extension applications follow a 210-day evaluation process, similarly to applications for new medicines (see figure above). Type II variations - Extension of indication procedures (section 5) Type II variations are applications for a change to the marketing authorisation which requires an update of the product information and which is not covered in section 4. Type II variations include applications for a new use of the medicine (extension of indication), for which the assessment takes up to 90 days. For the applications listed in this section, the CHMP may adopt an opinion or request supplementary information from the applicant. Ancillary medicinal substances in medical devices (section 6) Although the EMA does not regulate medical devices it can be asked by the relevant authorities (the so-called Notified Bodies) that are responsible for regulating these devices to give a scientific opinion on a medicinal substance contained in a medical device. Re-examination procedures (new applications) under article 9(2) of regulation no 726/2004
(section 3.5)
This section lists applications for new marketing authorisation for which the applicant has requested a re-examination of the opinion previously issued by the CHMP. Re-examination procedures (section5.3) This section lists applications for type II variations (including extension of indication applications) for which the applicant has requested re-examination of the opinion previously issued by the CHMP. Withdrawal of application (section 3.7) Applicants may decide to withdraw applications at any stage during the assessment and a CHMP opinion will therefore not be issued. Withdrawals are included in the agenda for information or discussion, as necessary. Procedure under article 83(1) of regulation (EC) 726/2004 (compassionate use) (section 7) Compassionate use is a way of making available to patients with an unmet medical need a promising medicine which has not yet been authorised (licensed) for their condition. Upon request, the CHMP provides recommendations to all EU Member States on how to administer, distribute and use certain medicines for compassionate use. Pre-submission issues (section 8) In some cases the CHMP may discuss a medicine before a formal application for marketing authorisation is submitted. These cases generally refer to requests for an accelerated assessment for medicines that are of major interest for public health or can be considered a therapeutic innovation. In case of an accelerated assessment the assessment timetable is reduced from 210 to 150 days. Post-authorisation issues (section 9) This section lists other issues concerning authorised medicines that are not covered elsewhere in the agenda. Issues include supply shortages, quality defects, some annual reassessments or renewals or type II variations to marketing authorisations that would require specific discussion at the plenary.
Page 34/35
Referral procedures (section 10) This section lists referrals that are ongoing or due to be started at the plenary meeting. A referral is a procedure used to resolve issues such as concerns over the safety or benefit-risk balance of a medicine or a class of medicines. In a referral, the EMA is requested to conduct a scientific assessment of a particular medicine or class of medicines on behalf of the EU. Further information on such procedures can be found here. Pharmacovigilance issues (section 11) This section lists issues that have been discussed at the previous meeting of the PRAC, the EMA's committee responsible for evaluating and monitoring safety issues for medicines. Feedback is provided by the PRAC. This section also refers to the early notification system, a system used to notify the European regulatory network on proposed EMA communication on safety of medicines. Inspections Issues (section 12) This section lists inspections that are undertaken for some medicinal products. Inspections are carried out by regulatory agencies to ensure that marketing authorisation holders comply with their obligations. Inspection can relate to good manufacturing practice (GMP), good clinical practice (GCP), good laboratory practice (GLP) or good pharmacovigilance practice (GVP). Innovation task force (section 13) The Innovation Task Force (ITF) is a body set up to encourage early dialogue with applicants developing innovative medicines. Minutes from the last ITF meeting as well as any related issue that requires discussion with the CHMP are listed in this section of the agenda. Further information on the ITF can be found here. Scientific advice working party (SAWP) (section 14.3.1) This section refers to the monthly report from the CHMP's Scientific Advice Working Party (SAWP) on scientific advice given to companies during the development of medicines. Further general information on SAWP can be found here. Satellite groups / other committees (section 14.2) This section refers to the reports from groups and committees making decisions relating to human medicines: the Coordination Group for Mutual Recognition and Decentralised Procedures - Human (CMDh), the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP), the Committee for Herbal Medicinal Products (HMPC), Paediatric Committee (PDCO), the Committee for Advanced Therapies (CAT) and the Pharmamacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC). Invented name issues (section 14.3) This section list issues related to invented names proposed by applicants for new medicines. The CHMP has established the Name Review Group (NRG) to perform reviews of the invented names. The group's main role is to consider whether the proposed names could create a public-health concern or potential safety risk. Further information can be found here. More detailed information on the above terms can be found on the EMA website: www.ema.europa.eu/
