Simplifying Finished
Product Manufacturer Site
Transfer Variations
Valeria Grigoriev
Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist
Arriello
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the scale of the risk of breaks in
medicines supply, causing regulators to issue new manufacturer/MAH
recommendations. One change in the EU is the transition to the more
streamlined ICH Q12 PACMP protocol, designed to support greater agility
and innovation in medicines supply by making it easier to manage
production site changes. Arriello's Valeria Grigoriev looks more closely
at the benefits of the new protocol, and what's involved in using the new
framework for post-approvals change management linked to finished
product manufacturing sites.
High-profile events ranging from Brexit in the UK, the global COVID-19
pandemic, blockages in the Suez Canal, and the war in Ukraine, to
the turbulent worldwide economy currently, have driven home the
importance of shoring up medicinal supplies, as breaks in supply have
resulted in visible shortages of critical products ranging from vaccines
to antibiotics to hormone replacement therapies (HRT).
The latest statistics from the Pharmaceutical Group of the European
Union (PGEU), which tracks drug shortages year on year, found that all
29 responding countries had experienced medicine shortages in 2022,
which for more than three-quarters had worsened from the previous
year. As just one example, Spain identified 140% more shortages
in 2022 compared to 2021. Cardiovascular, respiratory system and
nervous system medications, anti-infectives for systemic use are the
most common drug classes in short supply.
Four countries reported the death of patients due to medicines
shortages, and 18 proposed sourcing the same medicine from
alternative authorized sources as a legal solution for covering gaps in
supply. This required the regulatory submission of finished product
manufacturing site transfer variations.
Recognizing the need to secure pharma supply chains, and as part
of wider drives to streamline the path of drugs to market, regulators
