SUMMARY REPORT ON THE PUBLIC CONSULTATION ON THE REVISION OF THE GENERAL PHARMACEUTICAL LEGISLATION NOW AVAILABLE
The summary report on the public consultation on the revision of the general pharmaceutical legislation has been recently published. The public consultation, launched by the European Commission in 2021, aimed to collect views of different stakeholders to support the evaluation of the existing general pharmaceutical legislation on medicines for human use, and the impact assessment of its revision to ensure a future-proof and crisis-resistant medicines regulatory system.
Overall, 478 contributions were submitted to the public consultation by December 2021. Six campaigns were identified by using a combination of statistical and manual approach to analyse the received responses.
The European Medicines Agency adopted the ICH guideline E11A on pediatric extrapolation. This guideline provides recommendations for harmonised approaches for paediatric extrapolation to support the development and authorisation of paediatric medicines.
It aims to provide a framework for using extrapolation as a tool to support paediatric drug development that encompasses an iterative process for understanding the existing information available, the gaps in information needed to inform development and ways to generate additional information when needed.
