Big News! The CDE Releases a Trio of Guiding Principles for Drug Development “Patient-Centric”!!!


“Patient-centered” drug development refers to the process of drug development, design, implementation, and decision-making conducted from the patient’s perspective. Its goal is to efficiently develop clinically valuable drugs that better meet patients’ needs—a field that regulatory agencies around the world are actively exploring. To promote the practical application of the “patient-centered” approach in drug development, the Center for Drug Evaluation has organized the drafting of the following guidelines: “Technical Guidance Principles for Patient-Centered Clinical Trial Design (Trial Version),” “Technical Guidance Principles for the Implementation of Patient-Centered Clinical Trials (Trial Version),” and “Technical Guidance Principles for Benefit-Risk Assessment of Patient-Centered Drugs (Trial Version)” (see Attachments 1–3).

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.
