Generic Drug Clinical Studies


Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Conducting Evaluations of the Quality and Efficacy Consistency of Generic Drugs (Guobanfa [2016] No. 8) Generic drugs that were approved for marketing prior to the implementation of the new classification system for chemical drug registration—and which have not been approved in accordance with the principle of consistency in quality and efficacy with the originator drugs—must undergo consistency evaluations. The consistency evaluation of generic drugs refers to the phased and batch-wise assessment of the quality consistency of generic drugs already approved for marketing, based on the principle of consistency in quality and efficacy with the originator drugs. In other words, generic drugs must achieve a level of quality and efficacy that is consistent with the originator drugs. The purpose of conducting these consistency evaluations is to ensure that generic drugs are comparable to the originator drugs in terms of both quality and efficacy.
