INTRODUCTION
The International Council for Harmonisation of Technical
Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) is
unique in bringing together the regulatory authorities and
pharmaceutical industry to discuss scientific and technical
aspects of pharmaceuticals and develop ICH guidelines.
Inception in 1990.
ICH's mission is to achieve greater harmonisation worldwide
to ensure that safe, effective and high quality medicines are
developed, and registered and maintained in the most resource
efficient manner whilst meeting high standards.

INTRODUCTION
ICH GUIDELINES (Q S E M)
Q Quality for e. g. conduct of stability studies, defining
relevant thresholds for impurities testing and a more flexible
approach to pharmaceutical quality based on Good
Manufacturing Practice (GMP) risk management.
3
S Safety to uncover potential risks like carcinogenicity,
genotoxicity and reprotoxicity. A recent breakthrough has been a
non-clinical testing strategy for assessing the QT interval
prolongation liability: the single most important cause of drug
withdrawals in recent years.

INTRODUCTION
ICH GUIDELINES (Q S E M)
E Efficacy is concerned with the design, conduct, safety and
reporting of clinical trials. It also covers novel types of
medicines derived from biotechnological processes and the use
of pharmacogenetics/genomics techniques to produce better
targeted medicines.
4
M Multidisciplinary Those are the cross-cutting topics which
do not fit uniquely into one of the Quality, Safety and Efficacy
categories. It includes the ICH medical terminology (MedDRA),
the Common Technical Document (CTD) and the development
of Electronic Standards for the Transfer of Regulatory
Information (ESTRI).
