A comprehensive investigational product dossier should include documents concerning the
quality, production and control of the investigational product, non-clinical data and a
summary of clinical data. Main headings are listed in the annex to these guidelines.
However, it should be noted that it may not be possible to submit information related with
all headings for every investigational product.
The dossier will depend on many factors including the nature of the investigational product,
its development stage, the population to be studied, the nature and seriousness of the
disease and the duration of exposure to the investigational product.
Relevant scientific reasons should be provided if any data needs to be removed; a new
section should be added if no applicable title is available for this procedure.
The sponsor should submit summaries of the chemical, pharmaceutical and biological data
for any investigational product. Related headings are provided in the annex to these
guidelines.
The sponsor’s investigational product to be used in the clinical trial should be produced in
accordance with the principles of good manufacturing practices (GMP) and GMP
Guidelines.
The sponsor should submit summaries of the non-clinical pharmacological and
toxicological data concerning any investigational product to be used in the clinical drug
trial. If such data is not available, the reason should be provided. A list of references and
relevant literature references related to the trials conducted should also be submitted. If
required, copies of comprehensive data and references concerning the trials should be
provided as well. It is preferable that data is tabulated and brief information highlighting
the main points accompanies the table. Summaries of the trials conducted should show that
the trial is compliant with and is conducted according to an acceptable protocol.
The sponsor should submit the non-clinical information under the headings listed in the
annex to these guidelines to the extent possible. The headings are not mandatory and not
limited to this list. The sponsor should provide a critical analysis of the available data,
including any deviations or omissions, and submit a summary of the data about the studies
conducted together with an evaluation of the safety of the product within the context of the
clinical trial to be conducted.
All trials should be conducted according to the most advanced protocols which are
currently accepted. In addition, requirements of good laboratory practices (GLP) should be
met to the extent possible. The sponsor should provide the reasons for any deviation from
these principles and submit a statement regarding the status of all trials in terms of GLP.
The test material used in toxicity studies should represent the qualitative and quantitative
impurity profiles. Preparation of test materials should be subjected to checks and thereby
support the validity of the study.
The sponsor should submit a summary of all available information from the past clinical
trials and studies on humans conducted with the investigational products. Relevant
headings are given in the annex to these guidelines but as much additional information as
possible should be provided. The headings are not mandatory and should not be limited to
this list.
All trials should be conducted in accordance with the principles of good clinical practices
(GCP) and the sponsor should affirm in a statement that the trials are conducted in line with

GCP rules. If this is not possible, the sponsor should provide an explanation or reason.
The sponsor should submit an integrated summary of clinical and non-clinical data,
including a critical analysis of the potential risks and benefits of the study to be conducted.
The wording should also include the reasons for early discontinuation of any study. These
matters should particularly be considered when evaluating trials concerning children and
the handicapped. The purpose of non-clinical pharmacology and toxicity tests is to
demonstrate the main risks of the investigational product. The sponsor should use the
relevant pharmacological, toxicological and pharmacokinetic results as the basis of
extrapolation to indicate potential risks in humans. The sponsor should integrate all
available data, analyze the pharmacological and toxicological effects of the investigational
product, and demonstrate possible mechanisms of action. When possible, the safety margin
of the investigational product should be discussed based preferably on the AUC and Cmax
values instead of the dose administered. The clinical significance of any finding in the
clinical and non-clinical trials should be explained as well as its reliability and effect on the
clinical trials.
If the investigational product is licensed/permitted in Turkey and has a dose regimen with
the same form, same indications and same short product characteristics (SPC) or
instructions for use (IFU), the sponsor may submit the SPC or IFU version currently
approved by the Turkish Medicine and Medical Device Agency. However, additional
non-clinical data or clinical data should be submitted to support the safety of the product’s
use for a new indication, in a new patient population and at a new dose regimen.
NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES AND METHOD OF OBTAINING PERMISSION
Changes in the conduct of the clinical trial are allowed to be made after the trial has been
initiated.
Any changes to be made concerning the trial for which permission is required in
accordance with the applicable legislation cannot be implemented without permission of
the Turkish Medicine and Medical Device Agency. However, the sponsor or principal
investigator may be allowed to take immediate safety measures in order to protect the
subjects against an imminent hazard according to the applicable legislation, without
informing the Turkish Medicine and Medical Device Agency, although the Agency should
be notified immediately afterwards.
Significant changes in the conduct of the trial may arise from the protocol or new
information concerning the scientific documentation supporting the trial. Examples for
significant changes are listed in the annex to these guidelines.
The sponsor should handle the cases individually, evaluate whether the change is
significant, and make an application with the appropriate current form and cover letter
sample published in the web site of the Turkish Medicine and Medical Device Agency.
In case a significant change affects multiple protocols for a given investigational product,
the sponsor or their legal representative should specify this in the cover letter and send a
notification to the Turkish Medicine and Medical Device Agency for all affected protocols
including a list with the full title of the trial, protocol number (if any) and name of the
coordinator or principal investigator.
Rejection of applications does not eliminate the applicant’s right to resubmit the
information.
