Japan is the world’s second largest market next to the US. With USD 52 billion drug market, it represents 11% of global sales.

The Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) is in charge of pharmaceutical regulatory affairs in Japan and the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA, KIKO) undertakes main duties and functions of the Ministry: it handles clinical studies, approval reviews and post-marketing safety measures i.e. approvals and licensing.

OVERVIEW Japan history, healthcare structure, and economic status

History

Application forms from both Japanese New Drug Application (J-NDA) and Japanese Abbreviated New Drug Application (JANDA) for approval to market drugs are usually submitted to the PMDA.

Past regulatory environment for importer and manufacturer

Japan has medicinal regulations in place since 1960, when the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law (PAL) was amended to include medical devices and cosmetics.

Prior to 2000, medicinal applications and approvals were generally easy to understand, prepare, and obtain. Broad categories of devices could be applied for and obtained, even if data only existed for a small portion of these devices.

Several factors led up to major regulatory changes that began in 2000, with final regulations being adopted April 1, 2005.

Implementation of these regulation changes will continue through 2006 and beyond, some good for US manufacturers,

and some not.

Lastly, there have been pressures, both within Japan and from abroad, for harmonization with regulations from the US and Europe, and for enhanced deregulation and competition laws which would speed the approval process in Japan.rohitpharma3250@gmail.com

Language Used In Japan

JAPANESE

ENGLISH

Japan Health Authority (PMDA)

How do that specific Health Authority works?,

No datasets are required but all data presented in CSR should be listed because

• PMDA pays attention to data quality. • PMDA is focused on data errors .

PMDA conducts paper raw data review CRFAnalysis plan. Monitoring report, etc,…

PMDA check consistency with CSR• A 100 % check of Japanese patients can be expected.

A Deliverables should be ready earlier.

Delay in the review process should be avoided.

Team has to be very reactive in answering the questions.

Programming processes needs to be quicker but well organized.

Format/type of Submission

Paper Submission.

Electronic submission with eCTD.

CTD Triangle

CTD Information

Benefits of CTD More “reviewable” applications.

Complete, well-organized submissions.

More predictable format.

More consistent reviews.

Easier analysis across applications.

Easier exchange of information.

Facilitates electronic submissions.rohitpharma3250@gmail.com

A common format for the technical documentation:

significantly reduces the time and resources needed to compile applications for registration of human pharmaceuticals

eases the preparation of electronic submissions

Facilitates regulatory reviews and communication with the applicant by a standard document of common elements.

Simplifies exchange of regulatory information between Regulatory Authorities.

This guideline is not intended to indicate what studies are required. It merely indicates an appropriate format for the data that have been acquired.

CTD format (1)

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

Text and tables should be prepared using margins that allow the document to be printed on A4 paper.

The left-hand margin should be sufficiently large that information is not obscured by the method of binding.

Font sizes for text and tables should be easily legible, even after photocopying. Times New Roman, 12-point font, is recommended for narrative text.

Every page should be numbered.

Acronyms and abbreviations should be defined the first time they are used in each module.

References should be cited in accordance with the current edition of the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE)1.

CTD format (2)

The CTD is organized into five modules: Module 1 is region specific. Modules 2, 3, 4, and 5 are intended to be common for all

regions.

CTD format (3)

Module 1. Administrative Information and Prescribing Information Should contain documents specific to each region; e.g. application forms or the proposed label for use in the region. The content and format of this module can be specified by the relevant regulatory authorities.

Module 1: Administrative Information and Prescribing Information-

1.1 Table of Contents of the Submission Including Module 1

1.2 Documents Specific to Each Region (for example, application forms, prescribing information)

Module 2. Common Technical Document Summaries Should begin with a general introduction to the pharmaceutical, including its

pharmacological class, mode of action, and proposed clinical use. In general, the Introduction should not exceed one page.

Should contain 7 sections in the following order : 2.1 Common Technical Document Table of Contents (Modules 2-5) 2.2 CTD Introduction 2.3 Quality Overall Summary 2.4 Non-clinical Overview 2.5 Clinical Overview 2.6 Non-clinical Written and Tabulated Summaries

Pharmacology Pharmacokinetics Toxicology

2.7 Clinical Summary Biopharmaceutical Studies and Associated Analytical Methods Clinical Pharmacology Studies Clinical Efficacy Clinical Safety Literature References Synopses of Individual Studies

contain same active ingredients as the innovator drug.

be identical in strenght,dosage form, and route of administration.

have same use/indications.

have same batch requirements for Identity, Safety, Purity and Quality.

follow strict standards of FDA’s GMPs.

Drug Development Process/Overall Timeline

Timeline

In your timelines input from the Japanese team on the request and translation of documents should be considered

Japanese colleagues define specifications and programming .

Conventions because they have a better overview of the Japanese Submission requirements-

• Japanese team needs time to make their own validation.

• Japanese medical writer has to translate all the tables and the text delivered to the PMDA.

Deliverables should be ready earlier.
