Inteational Regulatory Guidelines
Springler, 2011, XII, 128 p.
Safety Evaluation of Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices has been
written to provide complete, ready and clear guidance as to what
nonclinical safety assessment tests need to be performed to move a
regulated therapeutic medical product into and through the
development process and to marketing approval. This intent is
purposely extended to cover the closely related product types of
vaccines, biotechnology products, gene therapy, cell therapy, and
combination products into a single, concise guide for the process
in all the major world market countries.
The approach of this volume is to first address the broadest scope
general case for the regulatory nonclinical safety evaluation by
ICH and ISO adhering countries, then to branch out to cover the
differences in requirements associated with specific therapeutic
areas (such as oncology), major routes of administration (with oral
being the general case, other routes starting with parentheral,
dermal and inhalation are addressed). Large molecules biotechnology
products are then considered, followed by special courses of
product marketing approval, and finally the remaining national
differences.
