About the Book

Available formats: e-book only

Postapproval changes are a vital part of medicines development and regulatory affairs and reflect the dynamic and iterative nature of science and how products develop and mature across the lifecycle. RAPS new book, Postapproval Changes for Drugs: A Practical Guide, illustrates the breadth of this complex topic including key aspects of marketing authorization transfers, renewals, and administrative changes; quality and CMC changes; safety and product information-related changes; postauthorization commitments and studies; and postmarketing surveillance and risk management.

In each of the 22 chapters, expert authors take a comprehensive global look at the differences between the Americas, Europe, Asia, Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and sub-Saharan Africa. Postapproval Changes for Drugs is organized into five distinct sections according to the type of change being implemented. Each section covers various countries, including Africa, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland, UK, and the US—the breadth of countries and regions never before covered in one single RAPS resource.

Postapproval Changes for Drugs includes the regulatory requirements, application of the requirements, and case studies with real-life scenarios and industry best practice. This new resource also includes a comprehensive glossary of terms, acronyms, and abbreviations, in addition to an in-depth index to help navigate through this complex regulatory landscape. Postapproval Changes for Drugs describes the regulations, tools, and pathways regulatory professionals need to remain compliant for changes after the initial approval. This valuable, must have resource will benefit all who participate in the commercialization of drugs and biological products.
