Drug Registration in China

In China, chemical drugs, biological products and traditional Chinese medicine/natural herbal drugs are regulated by the National Medical Product Administration (NMPA), which is a counterpart of the US FDA. The Center for Drug Evaluation is responsible for the technical review and evaluation on the submitted applications.

There 5 classifications of drug application in China:
1. INNOVATIVE DRUGS

2. IMPROVED NEW DRUGS

3. DOMESTIC GENERIC DRUGS (whose original dug has not been approved in China)

4. DOMESTIC GENERIC DRUGS (whose original dug has been approved in China)

5. IMPORT DRUGS

For oversea manufacturers, there are mainly two drug registration pathways in China which include innovative drug/improved new drug registration and import drug registration. Similarly, there are two clinical development strategies. They are sequential development and parallel development.

Marketing authorization of a new drug in China mandates clinical trials with Chinese patients as prerequisite, but the oversea clinical data can be bridged to China. Otherwise, the applicant has to conduct phase I pharmacokinetic studies together with randomized clinical trial with at least 100 pairs of subjects. Since 2017, the NMPA launched new procedure for the application for clinical trial the approval time for clinical trial has been shortened significantly.

To appl for the registration of IMPORT DRUGS, the marketing authorization obtained in its country of origin is required, such as Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CPP). During the drug registration procedure, sample testing and/or on-site GMP inspection may be required, in parallel, upon NMPA/CDE risk assessment.


DMF Filings in China

Since end of 2017, the NMPA (formerly CFDA) launched the DMF system for APIs, excipients and pharmaceutical packaging materials. The manufacturers of APIs, excipients and packaging materials do not need to conduct sample testings any more in China. Within 1-2 weeks of submitting the filing dossier, the Center of Drug Evaluation (CDE) will release the DMF number on its official website. The initial status of the DMF filings will be inactive (status of "I"), and once it passes the review and evaluation through bindingly review with the finished drug formula, the status of the DMF filings will be switched to active (status of "A").


After DMF Filings

The DMF holder is required to submit an annual update, at the first quarter of every calendar year, to the CDE.

In case, there is any change to the filed information, the DMF holders owe the responsibility and obligation to notify the manufacturer of finished formula immediately. The DMF holders should take the initiaitve to investigate/study the potential impact, of change, on product quality.

When a manufacturer of finished drug formula uses the filed product in the drug formula, the DMF holder of the filed product needs to issue a Letter of Authorization to the manufacturer of finished drug formula, so as to refer to the filed dossier for bindingly review in drug registraion.
