Does Health Canada prefer early phase trials or late phase studies close to approval?

DOES HEALTH CANADA PREFER EARLY PHASE TRIAL DESIGNS OR LATE PHASE STUDIES CLOSE TO APPROVAL?

Health Canada is very open to all phases of clinical trials for both early and late phase. If the product is innovative or has the potential of being granted an NOC/c, we do recommend that sponsors meet with Health Canada early to ensure that the study trial design and the clinical development plan is aligned with the requirements for an accelerated access to market.

Why does Health Canada ask for Foreign Reviews?

WHY IS IT THAT HEALTH CANADA ASKS FOR FOREIGN REVIEWS?

The provision of foreign review reports in an NDS is not mandatory, but highly recommended. Indeed, they are usually requested at screening if not included within the original submission.

In addition, within the Screening Acceptance letter, Health Canada usually requests the sponsor to share the Questions from foreign regulatory agency reviews and the sponsor’s answers, during the review of the NDS.

In my experience and through my discussions with Health Canada, when the Canadian agency has questions that have already been addressed in a response to questions from a foreign agency, it likely reduces the number of questions to be raised to the sponsor, accordingly.

What is a Drug Identification Number?

WHAT IS A DRUG IDENTIFICATION NUMBER? IS IT SPECIFIC TO CANADA?

A Drug Identification Number (DIN) is a unique eight-digit number assigned to each drug product considered to be compliant to the Food and Drug Act and its Regulations in Canada. It does not apply to radiopharmaceuticals. A DIN uniquely identifies the product manufacturer, product name, active ingredients, strengths, pharmaceutical form and route of administration. This number is assigned to a drug product, provided to the sponsor along with a Notice of Compliance.
