Background
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) administers
the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (Cth) and the Therapeutic
Goods Regulations 1993 (Cth)
The mission statement of the TGA
‘To ensure the safety, quality and efficacy of therapeutic
goods available in Australia at a standard equal to that of
comparable countries, and that pre-market assessment
of therapeutic goods is conducted within a reasonable
time.”
Prescription medicine regulation
7
Background
The TGA is accountable for the quality, safety, efficacy and
timely availability of drugs and medical devices in Australia
Performance targets for TGA drug evaluation and approval
were set and are included in the Regulations
The TGA operates on a 100% cost recovery basis
Prescription medicine regulation
8
Background
Before a drug (prescription or non-prescription), medical
device, vitamin, nutritional, ‘TCM’, ‘alternative medicine’ or
herbal product can be marketed in, imported to, or exported
from Australia it must be listed on the Australian Register of
Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) by the TGA
New chemical entities and applications which require
expert advice are referred to the Advisory Committee on
Prescription Medicines (ACPM) for its non-binding
recommendations
Prescription medicine regulation
9
Background
The TGA’s accountability includes an acceptance of a
balance between safety and efficacy
There is no such thing as a totally safe drug, and the
approval process has regard to a risk / benefit ratio
This requires a detailed evaluation of the data supplied by
the company sponsoring an application for the listing of a
particular drug
Prescription medicine regulation
10
Approach for ARTG listing – 8 phases
Generally, since 2010 all drug applications have to go
through an eight stage process involving:
• A ‘pre-submission’ of application planning phase
• Submission phase
• First round assessment
• Section 31 response period
• Second round assessment
• Expert advisory review
• Decision phase
• Post-decision phase
Prescription medicine regulation
11
Approach for ARTG listing – Pre-submission phase
At the Pre-submission planning phase:
• The applicants provide the TGA (before the 1st of a month) with
planning data in the Pre-submission planning form (PPF) at least 2Âź
months prior to lodgement of the Submission
• dossier must include general submission information as well as
information about the proposed application type and details of the
quality, nonclinical and clinical evidence that will be provided in the
dossier
Prescription medicine regulation
12
Approach for ARTG listing – Pre-submission phase
At the Pre-submission planning phase:
• If the TGA considers a PPF complete and acceptable, the applicant
will receive a Planning letter that provides
• key dates for the phases and milestones of the regulatory process for
the application
• feedback from the TGA on justifications or other aspects affecting the
application
• Any specific conditions affecting dossier lodgment
Prescription medicine regulation
13
Approach for ARTG listing – Submission phase
At the Submission phase:
• The applicant must lodge (by the 7th or 14th of the month)
a complete dossier to the TGA for evaluation, there being
no opportunity to deliver new data after the submission
date except as provided by the Act (eg new safety data)
• TGA will then:
• check to see the dossier complies with Australian guidelines
• Provide a Notification letter advising whether the application has
been accepted for evaluation or not
• Invoice the Sponsor for 75% of the evaluation fee
Prescription drug regulation
14
Approach for ARTG listing – First round assessment
phase
At the First-round assessment phase the TGA (or
sometimes external evaluators) evaluate all dossier
content, such as
• pharmaceutical and chemical data
• animal pharmacology and toxicology data
• clinical data
If required a consolidated s.31 request for information will
be prepared in the final month of the phase and sent to the
applicant on the date set out in the Planning letter
Prescription drug regulation
15
Approach for ARTG listing – Consolidated s.31 request
response phase
What is a s.31 request?
Under s.31 of the Act the TGA can request information or documents
relating to:
• the formulation of the goods
• the composition of the goods
• the design specifications of the goods
• the quality of the goods
• manufacture method or procedures
Prescription medicine regulation
16
Approach for ARTG listing – Consolidated s.31 request
response phase
What is a s.31 request?
• the presentation of the goods
• the safety and efficacy of the goods for the purposes for which they
are to be used
• whether the goods comply with conditions (if any) on the registration
of the goods
• the conformity of the goods to an applicable standard
Prescription medicine regulation
17
Approach for ARTG listing – Consolidated s.31 request
response phase
What is a s.31 request?
• whether either of the following has not been complied with:
• an applicable provision of the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code;
• any other requirement relating to advertising
• whether the goods are being supplied in imported into or exported
from Australia
• the regulatory history of the goods in another country
• any other matter prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of
s.31 in relation to goods of that kind
Prescription medicine regulation
18
Approach for ARTG listing – Consolidated s.31 request
response phase
The s.31 request response period closes at the end of this
phase
• Applicants nominate whether they will respond to the s.31 request
within 30 or 60 days as confirmed in the Planning letter
• If the applicant does not respond by the date in the Planning letter,
TGA evaluators complete the evaluation based on the initial dossier
• The TGA evaluators conduct unit reviews and prepare/coordinate
reports then prepare the first round assessment
• The Applicant has an opportunity to review the first round
assessment reports for factual correctness
Prescription medicine regulation
19
Approach for ARTG listing – Second round assessment
phase
At the Second round assessment phase the TGA
• Evaluators consider the s.31 response (if any) and finalise the
evaluation reports
• Where outstanding issues are identified they will be included in the
evaluation reports for consideration by the TGA’s delegate
• holds pre- ACPM consultations with the applicant
• prepares approved product information (PI) and considers consumer
product information (CPI) and a risk management plan (RMP)
• Sends to the applicant the outcome of the assessments
Prescription medicine regulation
20
Approach for ARTG listing – Expert advisory review
TGA will then submit the final package of summaries and
recommendations to the Advisory Committee on
Prescription Medicines (ACPM) [formerly Australian Drug
Evaluation Committee (ADEC)] (which meets 6 times/year)
The ACPM committee is a group of doctors appointed by
the Minister to advise on the suitability of drugs for
marketing in Australia
TGA takes into consideration the advice received from the
ACPM when making a final recommendation
Prescription medicine regulation
21
Approach for ARTG listing – Expert advisory review
Typically, the ACPM committee will review and advise on
only NCEs, new routes of administration, new fixed
combinations, new therapeutic indications or changes in
patient groups
Applications not typically referred to the ACPM include
generic products, new formulations, new strengths or
reformulations of existing products unless the TGA has
recommended a rejection of the application or when there
are complex clinical issues
Prescription medicine regulation
22
Approach for ARTG listing – Expert advisory review
The delegate prepares a letter to ACPM if independent
advice on aspects of an application is sought
Applicants have an opportunity to
• prepare a pre-ACPM response addressing issues raised in the
delegates letter to ACPM
• review the second round assessment reports for factual content
The ACPM non-binding advice is finalised and sent to the
applicant by the 15th of the month of the meeting
Prescription medicine regulation
23
Approach for ARTG listing – Decision phase
At the Decision phase the TGA:
• makes a final decision
• negotiates and finalises conditions of registration
• advises the applicant
• sends an invoice for the final 25% of evaluation fee
• advises drug information centres, forensic laboratories,
and so on if an NCE is involved
If the delegate proposes to reject an application the
reasons for decision are included in the letter of decision,
with an explanation of appeal rights
Prescription drug regulation
24
Approach for ARTG listing – Decision phase
There are three main avenues of appeal:
• the decision can be reviewed under s.60 of the Act by the Minister (or
one of the Minister’s delegates within the Department)
• an application to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) for
administrative review may be made within 28 calendar days of the
Minister’s decision regarding a section 60 appeal
• An application to the Federal Court of Australia on legal grounds may
be brought at any time
Prescription drug regulation
25
Approach for ARTG listing – Registration
At the Post-decision (formerly called Registration) phase
• the Sponsor applies to register (or vary) the product on
the ARTG
• TGA allocates an ‘AustR number’
• where applicable TGA will prepare a draft Australian
Public Assessment Report for prescription medicines
(AusPAR) provides information about the evaluation of a
prescription medicine and the considerations that led the
TGA to approve or not
• supply is then permitted

cells or human tissues and is used to:
• treat or prevent disease
• diagnose the condition of a person
• influence, inhibit or modify a physiological process in a
person
• test the susceptibility of a person to a disease or ailment
• replace or modify parts in the anatomy of a person
Biologicals
29
Examples
• Tissue based products (eg: bone, skin, collagen, ocular, CV)

Biologicals
33
Approach for ARTG listing – summary of phases
Generally, once the TGA has prepared the relevant
standards and guidelines, all biological applications have to
go through a four stage process involving:
• Preparation and lodgement of dossier
• Evaluation (with expert advisory review by ACB if required)
• Decision phase
• Finalisation
Biologicals
34
Approach for ARTG listing – Preparation of dossier and
lodgment phase
At the Preparation and dossier lodgment phase:
• The biological may first come to the attention of the TGA when an
application for marketing is received or when an Australian clinical
trial is being planned
• For clinical trials, the applicant may submit preliminary data for
evaluation to the TGA (CTX scheme) or notify the TGA (CTN
scheme) that the trial has been approved by an institutional ethics
committee
• The dossier needs to evidence the method of manufacture and
method of use so that a risk assessment can be performed
Biologicals
35
Approach for ARTG listing – Evaluation phase
At the Evaluation phase:
• The dossier submission is evaluated based on the evidence it
contains to ensure compliance with any default standards (such as
pharmacopoeial monographs), product-specific standards (eg: TGO
83 – Standards for human musculoskeletal tissue) or some
requirements of TGO 86 (Standards for human skin) may apply and
TGO 87 (labelling)
• Labelling for example is vital for quality data to allow donor
traceability, evidence of donor selection, validation of testing for
viruses, control of manufacturing and transportation, stability and
traceable bio-burden (microbial growth) testing
Biologicals
36
Approach for ARTG listing – Evaluation phase
At the Evaluation phase:
• Compliance with all other dossier requirements for a biological in its
relevant class is assessed, including sections on nonclinical and
clinical development
• Nonclinical data will be evaluated by toxicologists for biological
dynamics and kinetics, lab data re efficacy, tox data and
tumorgenicity
• Clinical data is typically reviewed by a physician
• The level of detail in the dossier should correspond to the potential
risk that the product poses to the recipient
Biologicals
37
Approach for ARTG listing – Evaluation phase
At the Evaluation phase:
• Like medicines, biologicals are required to be manufactured
according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)
• Compliance with manufacturing principles is required, including the
Australian Code of GMP for human blood and tissues
• All manufacturers are inspected to ensure GMP-compliance
• This is demonstrated by a current TGA manufacturing licence or
clearance
Biologicals
38
The Advisory Committee on Biologicals
The Advisory Committee on Biologicals (ACB) advises and
makes recommendations to the TGA (formally, to the
Health Minister or the Secretary of the health department)
on:
• which biologicals can be included on the ARTG
• variations to entries on the ARTG
• removal or continued inclusion of biologicals on the
ARTG
• any other matters concerning a biological, or other
matters referred to the ACB by the Minister or Secretary
Biologicals
39
The Advisory Committee on Biologicals
The Therapeutic Goods Regulations (1990) (TG Regulations) provide
for the ACB to have up to 12 members, with expertise in a range of
fields, including infectious diseases, cellular therapies and tissue
engineering, organ, tissue and stem cell transplantation, blood
products, clinical expertise, epidemiology and biostatistics, toxicology,
and consumer issues
The ACB can provide advice on issues other than biologicals, if
necessary, and all recommendations must be published
Biologicals
40
The Gene Technology Regulator
When a biological proposed for inclusion on the ARTG is,
or contains, a genetically modified (GM) product or a GM
organism, the TGA must notify the Office of the Gene
Technology Regulator (OGTR) and request advice about
the application
The OGTR may give written advice to the TGA, and the
TGA must ensure that this advice is taken into account
when making a decision about whether the product will be
included on the ARTG
Biologicals
41
Approach for ARTG listing – Decision phase
At the Decision phase:
• ACB or OGTR (or both) review and advise the TGA if requested
• Decision by the TGA
• Finalise conditions of registration
• Advise applicant
• Invoice final 25% of evaluation fee

Registration procedure
The medical device registration procedure involves
a Conformity Assessment and compliance with
the Essential Principles and other key
elements
Medical devices and diagnostics
57
Conformity Assessment
• The Conformity Assessment procedures are more
rigorous the higher the risk class
• Devices are monitored at all stages of the product
lifecycle and may be selected for review at any point
• Evidence for ongoing Conformity Assessment obligations
must be generated through the manufacturing process
and supply phase
• On obsolescence, the TGA must be notified so that the
product can be removed from the ARTG
Medical devices and diagnostics
58
Essential Principles
• From concept and prototype stage, the Essential
Principles must be incorporated into the design
• It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to demonstrate
compliance with the Essential Principles for their medical
devices
• There are six general Essential Principles that apply to all
devices and a further nine Essential Principles about
design and construction that apply to devices on a case-
by-case basis
• These are detailed in the seminar “Medical Devices and
Diagnostics” presentation deck
Medical devices and diagnostics
59
Other key elements
• the most common way to demonstrate compliance with
the Essential Principles is taking up the option to meet a
standard published by an Australian or International
Standards Agency, a Pharmacopoeia, or a similar
standard
• ongoing monitoring
• regulatory controls for manufacturing
• the ARTG listing as the central point of control
• potential penalties for breaches
• a range of corrective actions that may be taken if there is
a problem with a medical device

  • 6. Prescription medicine regulation 6 Background The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) administers the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (Cth) and the Therapeutic Goods Regulations 1993 (Cth) The mission statement of the TGA ‘To ensure the safety, quality and efficacy of therapeutic goods available in Australia at a standard equal to that of comparable countries, and that pre-market assessment of therapeutic goods is conducted within a reasonable time.”
  • 7. Prescription medicine regulation 7 Background The TGA is accountable for the quality, safety, efficacy and timely availability of drugs and medical devices in Australia Performance targets for TGA drug evaluation and approval were set and are included in the Regulations The TGA operates on a 100% cost recovery basis
  • 8. Prescription medicine regulation 8 Background Before a drug (prescription or non-prescription), medical device, vitamin, nutritional, ‘TCM’, ‘alternative medicine’ or herbal product can be marketed in, imported to, or exported from Australia it must be listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) by the TGA New chemical entities and applications which require expert advice are referred to the Advisory Committee on Prescription Medicines (ACPM) for its non-binding recommendations
  • 9. Prescription medicine regulation 9 Background The TGA’s accountability includes an acceptance of a balance between safety and efficacy There is no such thing as a totally safe drug, and the approval process has regard to a risk / benefit ratio This requires a detailed evaluation of the data supplied by the company sponsoring an application for the listing of a particular drug
  • 10. Prescription medicine regulation 10 Approach for ARTG listing – 8 phases Generally, since 2010 all drug applications have to go through an eight stage process involving: • A ‘pre-submission’ of application planning phase • Submission phase • First round assessment • Section 31 response period • Second round assessment • Expert advisory review • Decision phase • Post-decision phase
  • 11. Prescription medicine regulation 11 Approach for ARTG listing – Pre-submission phase At the Pre-submission planning phase: • The applicants provide the TGA (before the 1st of a month) with planning data in the Pre-submission planning form (PPF) at least 2Âź months prior to lodgement of the Submission • dossier must include general submission information as well as information about the proposed application type and details of the quality, nonclinical and clinical evidence that will be provided in the dossier
  • 12. Prescription medicine regulation 12 Approach for ARTG listing – Pre-submission phase At the Pre-submission planning phase: • If the TGA considers a PPF complete and acceptable, the applicant will receive a Planning letter that provides • key dates for the phases and milestones of the regulatory process for the application • feedback from the TGA on justifications or other aspects affecting the application • Any specific conditions affecting dossier lodgment
  • 13. Prescription medicine regulation 13 Approach for ARTG listing – Submission phase At the Submission phase: • The applicant must lodge (by the 7th or 14th of the month) a complete dossier to the TGA for evaluation, there being no opportunity to deliver new data after the submission date except as provided by the Act (eg new safety data) • TGA will then: • check to see the dossier complies with Australian guidelines • Provide a Notification letter advising whether the application has been accepted for evaluation or not • Invoice the Sponsor for 75% of the evaluation fee
  • 14. Prescription drug regulation 14 Approach for ARTG listing – First round assessment phase At the First-round assessment phase the TGA (or sometimes external evaluators) evaluate all dossier content, such as • pharmaceutical and chemical data • animal pharmacology and toxicology data • clinical data If required a consolidated s.31 request for information will be prepared in the final month of the phase and sent to the applicant on the date set out in the Planning letter
  • 15. Prescription drug regulation 15 Approach for ARTG listing – Consolidated s.31 request response phase What is a s.31 request? Under s.31 of the Act the TGA can request information or documents relating to: • the formulation of the goods • the composition of the goods • the design specifications of the goods • the quality of the goods • manufacture method or procedures
  • 16. Prescription medicine regulation 16 Approach for ARTG listing – Consolidated s.31 request response phase What is a s.31 request? • the presentation of the goods • the safety and efficacy of the goods for the purposes for which they are to be used • whether the goods comply with conditions (if any) on the registration of the goods • the conformity of the goods to an applicable standard
  • 17. Prescription medicine regulation 17 Approach for ARTG listing – Consolidated s.31 request response phase What is a s.31 request? • whether either of the following has not been complied with: • an applicable provision of the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code; • any other requirement relating to advertising • whether the goods are being supplied in imported into or exported from Australia • the regulatory history of the goods in another country • any other matter prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of s.31 in relation to goods of that kind
  • 18. Prescription medicine regulation 18 Approach for ARTG listing – Consolidated s.31 request response phase The s.31 request response period closes at the end of this phase • Applicants nominate whether they will respond to the s.31 request within 30 or 60 days as confirmed in the Planning letter • If the applicant does not respond by the date in the Planning letter, TGA evaluators complete the evaluation based on the initial dossier • The TGA evaluators conduct unit reviews and prepare/coordinate reports then prepare the first round assessment • The Applicant has an opportunity to review the first round assessment reports for factual correctness
  • 19. Prescription medicine regulation 19 Approach for ARTG listing – Second round assessment phase At the Second round assessment phase the TGA • Evaluators consider the s.31 response (if any) and finalise the evaluation reports • Where outstanding issues are identified they will be included in the evaluation reports for consideration by the TGA’s delegate • holds pre- ACPM consultations with the applicant • prepares approved product information (PI) and considers consumer product information (CPI) and a risk management plan (RMP) • Sends to the applicant the outcome of the assessments
  • 20. Prescription medicine regulation 20 Approach for ARTG listing – Expert advisory review TGA will then submit the final package of summaries and recommendations to the Advisory Committee on Prescription Medicines (ACPM) [formerly Australian Drug Evaluation Committee (ADEC)] (which meets 6 times/year) The ACPM committee is a group of doctors appointed by the Minister to advise on the suitability of drugs for marketing in Australia TGA takes into consideration the advice received from the ACPM when making a final recommendation
  • 21. Prescription medicine regulation 21 Approach for ARTG listing – Expert advisory review Typically, the ACPM committee will review and advise on only NCEs, new routes of administration, new fixed combinations, new therapeutic indications or changes in patient groups Applications not typically referred to the ACPM include generic products, new formulations, new strengths or reformulations of existing products unless the TGA has recommended a rejection of the application or when there are complex clinical issues
  • 22. Prescription medicine regulation 22 Approach for ARTG listing – Expert advisory review The delegate prepares a letter to ACPM if independent advice on aspects of an application is sought Applicants have an opportunity to • prepare a pre-ACPM response addressing issues raised in the delegates letter to ACPM • review the second round assessment reports for factual content The ACPM non-binding advice is finalised and sent to the applicant by the 15th of the month of the meeting
  • 23. Prescription medicine regulation 23 Approach for ARTG listing – Decision phase At the Decision phase the TGA: • makes a final decision • negotiates and finalises conditions of registration • advises the applicant • sends an invoice for the final 25% of evaluation fee • advises drug information centres, forensic laboratories, and so on if an NCE is involved If the delegate proposes to reject an application the reasons for decision are included in the letter of decision, with an explanation of appeal rights
  • 24. Prescription drug regulation 24 Approach for ARTG listing – Decision phase There are three main avenues of appeal: • the decision can be reviewed under s.60 of the Act by the Minister (or one of the Minister’s delegates within the Department) • an application to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) for administrative review may be made within 28 calendar days of the Minister’s decision regarding a section 60 appeal • An application to the Federal Court of Australia on legal grounds may be brought at any time
  • 25. Prescription drug regulation 25 Approach for ARTG listing – Registration At the Post-decision (formerly called Registration) phase • the Sponsor applies to register (or vary) the product on the ARTG • TGA allocates an ‘AustR number’ • where applicable TGA will prepare a draft Australian Public Assessment Report for prescription medicines (AusPAR) provides information about the evaluation of a prescription medicine and the considerations that led the TGA to approve or not • supply is then permitted
  • 26. • Prescription medicine regulation • Biologicals • Medical devices and diagnostics • Agriculture • Aquaculture Session 3 Agenda Regulatory 26
  • 27. • Prescription medicine regulation • Biologicals • tissue based products (skin and bone) • human stem cells • cell-based products • Medical devices and diagnostics • Agriculture and aquaculture • Industrial applications and cleantech Session 3 Agenda Regulatory 27
  • 28. Biologicals 28 Definition A good that comprises, contains or is derived from human cells or human tissues and is used to: • treat or prevent disease • diagnose the condition of a person • influence, inhibit or modify a physiological process in a person • test the susceptibility of a person to a disease or ailment • replace or modify parts in the anatomy of a person
  • 29. Biologicals 29 Examples • Tissue based products (eg: bone, skin, collagen, ocular, CV) • Cell based products (eg: human stem cells, T cells, cartilage cells) • Combined cell and tissue products (eg: collagen matrices for local delivery, metal stent coated with a matrix and endothelial cells) Not regulated by the TGA: • Fresh viable organs • IVF • Fresh haematopoietic progenitor cells (eg: bone marrow transplants) • Autologous undifferentiated cells and tissues made by a medical practitioner used to perform the same basic function
  • 30. Biologicals 30 Background Before a biological can be marketed in, imported to, or exported from Australia it must be listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) by the TGA Applications which require expert advice are referred to the Advisory Committee on Biologicals (ACB) for its non- binding recommendations
  • 31. Biologicals 31 Regulatory framework and formal guidance Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 Therapeutic Goods Regulations 1990 Therapeutic Goods (Charges) Regulations 1990 Therapeutic Goods (Things that are not biologicals) Determination No. 1 of 2011 Therapeutic Goods (Excluded Goods) Order No. 1 of 2011 Therapeutic Goods Orders (product standards for biologicals) The Australian Regulatory Guidelines for Biologicals 31 http://www.tga.gov.au/industry/legislation.htm
  • 32. Biologicals 32 Classes Higher risk Lower risk Biological classification Example • Class 1: If declared in s.16 of TG Regs • None yet • Class 2: simple preparation for like- for-like biological repairs • Milled bone for allograft • Acellular skin for wound covering • Class 3: more complex preparation for but does not change an inherent biological property • Mesenchymal stem cells for graft v host disease • Demineralised cadaveric bone mixed with antibiotic carrier • Cultured fibroblasts for skin repair • Class 4: complex and changes biological properties • GM T cells for specific virus infections • Dermal fibroblasts transformed for skeletal muscle repair • Bone marrow stem cells for cardiac repair
  • 33. Biologicals 33 Approach for ARTG listing – summary of phases Generally, once the TGA has prepared the relevant standards and guidelines, all biological applications have to go through a four stage process involving: • Preparation and lodgement of dossier • Evaluation (with expert advisory review by ACB if required) • Decision phase • Finalisation
  • 34. Biologicals 34 Approach for ARTG listing – Preparation of dossier and lodgment phase At the Preparation and dossier lodgment phase: • The biological may first come to the attention of the TGA when an application for marketing is received or when an Australian clinical trial is being planned • For clinical trials, the applicant may submit preliminary data for evaluation to the TGA (CTX scheme) or notify the TGA (CTN scheme) that the trial has been approved by an institutional ethics committee • The dossier needs to evidence the method of manufacture and method of use so that a risk assessment can be performed
  • 35. Biologicals 35 Approach for ARTG listing – Evaluation phase At the Evaluation phase: • The dossier submission is evaluated based on the evidence it contains to ensure compliance with any default standards (such as pharmacopoeial monographs), product-specific standards (eg: TGO 83 – Standards for human musculoskeletal tissue) or some requirements of TGO 86 (Standards for human skin) may apply and TGO 87 (labelling) • Labelling for example is vital for quality data to allow donor traceability, evidence of donor selection, validation of testing for viruses, control of manufacturing and transportation, stability and traceable bio-burden (microbial growth) testing
  • 36. Biologicals 36 Approach for ARTG listing – Evaluation phase At the Evaluation phase: • Compliance with all other dossier requirements for a biological in its relevant class is assessed, including sections on nonclinical and clinical development • Nonclinical data will be evaluated by toxicologists for biological dynamics and kinetics, lab data re efficacy, tox data and tumorgenicity • Clinical data is typically reviewed by a physician • The level of detail in the dossier should correspond to the potential risk that the product poses to the recipient
  • 37. Biologicals 37 Approach for ARTG listing – Evaluation phase At the Evaluation phase: • Like medicines, biologicals are required to be manufactured according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) • Compliance with manufacturing principles is required, including the Australian Code of GMP for human blood and tissues • All manufacturers are inspected to ensure GMP-compliance • This is demonstrated by a current TGA manufacturing licence or clearance
  • 38. Biologicals 38 The Advisory Committee on Biologicals The Advisory Committee on Biologicals (ACB) advises and makes recommendations to the TGA (formally, to the Health Minister or the Secretary of the health department) on: • which biologicals can be included on the ARTG • variations to entries on the ARTG • removal or continued inclusion of biologicals on the ARTG • any other matters concerning a biological, or other matters referred to the ACB by the Minister or Secretary
  • 39. Biologicals 39 The Advisory Committee on Biologicals The Therapeutic Goods Regulations (1990) (TG Regulations) provide for the ACB to have up to 12 members, with expertise in a range of fields, including infectious diseases, cellular therapies and tissue engineering, organ, tissue and stem cell transplantation, blood products, clinical expertise, epidemiology and biostatistics, toxicology, and consumer issues The ACB can provide advice on issues other than biologicals, if necessary, and all recommendations must be published
  • 40. Biologicals 40 The Gene Technology Regulator When a biological proposed for inclusion on the ARTG is, or contains, a genetically modified (GM) product or a GM organism, the TGA must notify the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) and request advice about the application The OGTR may give written advice to the TGA, and the TGA must ensure that this advice is taken into account when making a decision about whether the product will be included on the ARTG
  • 41. Biologicals 41 Approach for ARTG listing – Decision phase At the Decision phase: • ACB or OGTR (or both) review and advise the TGA if requested • Decision by the TGA • Finalise conditions of registration • Advise applicant • Invoice final 25% of evaluation fee
  • 42. Biologicals 42 What else? Exemptions to allow for the use of Biologicals not currently registered for clinical trials in exceptional circumstances (eg: non-compliant product required immediately to treat a life threatening condition) A system for post-market monitoring and reporting adverse events similar to those for Medicines and Medical Devices Biological specific criminal penalties
