Manufacture and Supply, Science and Reg ulation Towards High-Qua lity Medicinal Products
This will facilitate the global development and registration of phar­maceutical products, reducing duplication of eorts and improving access to safe and eective medicines.
Collaboration with Stakeholders
ICH recognizes the importance of engaging with various stakehold­ers, including patient organizations, healthcare professionals, and academia. Collaboration with these stakeholders will help ensure that the guidelines developed by ICH address their needs and concerns.
Focus on Quality Management Systems
ICH will continue to emphasize the importance of quality manage­ment systems throughout the lifecycle of pharmaceutical products. This includes aspects such as risk management, quality control, and post-approval changes.
Overall, the future direction of ICH involves expanding member­ship, modernizing guidelines, enhancing regulatory convergence, collaborating with stakeholders, and emphasizing quality manage­ment systems. These eorts aim to promote global harmonization and facilitate the development and availability of safe and eective pharmaceutical products worldwide.
4. 5.7. International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory
Authorities (ICMR A)
4.5.7.1. Introduction
The proposal to create ICMRA is anchored in the recognition that a Heads of Agency leadership is needed to address current and
WHO Listed Authority and Other International Reliance and Harmonization Initiatives
emerging human medicine reg­ulatory and safety challenges globally, strategically and in an ongoing, transparent, author­itative, and institutional man­ner. In May 2012, more than 30 NRAs participated in a seminar in Geneva that was promoted by Brazil. This seminar was aimed at stimulating a debate among health ocials and the diplomatic community on how to improve cooperation among NRAs. The discussion highlighted the importance of better promotion and coordination of international cooperation among medicines reg­ulatory authorities. The topics discussed included strengthening dialogue, facilitating wider exchange of reliable and compara­ble information, encouraging greater leverage of resources and work products of other NRAs, and promoting better informed risk-based allocation of limited resources of NRAs. These eorts would strengthen the quality, safety and ecacy of medicinal products globally.

4 .5 .7. 2. Addressing Common Regulatory Issues
The above-mentioned discussions were further pursued at meetings of senior executives of several NRAs held on the margins of ICDRA in October 2012, as well as at the 7th Heads of Medicines Regulatory Agencies Summit in December 2012. Following these meetings, a consensus emerged on the desirability of developing ICMRA to address common regulatory issues, such as the following areas:
Growing complexity in manufacturing and distribution supply chains for the medicinal product which are multi-faceted and globally integrated;
114
Manufacture and Supply, Science and Reg ulation Towards High-Qua lity Medicinal Products
Ability of NRAs to ensure the safety, quality and ecacy of medicinal products which requires knowledge of and confi­dence in these supply chains;
Gaps in global regulatory oversight providing opportunities for the tampering and counterfeiting of medicinal products;
Growing complexity in medicinal products and their ingredi- ents (e.g., new chemical entities and innovative drugs) posing new scientific and regulatory challenges which call for new reg­ulatory processes;
Growing number of international regulatory initiatives, lacking in integration and strategic oversight;
Continued pressures to control and reduce regulatory public expenditures; and
Continued industry and political pressures to harmonize and align regulatory practices and activities.
Overall, ICMRA hopes to provide a global architecture to support enhanced communication, information sharing, crisis response and address regulatory science issues.
4.5.7.3. ICMRA Pilot Program for Collaborative Hybrid Inspection
Following a July 2021 ICMRA-Industry Workshop on enabling manufacturing capacity in the COVID-19 pandemic, ICMRA rec­ognizes the need to assess the feasibility of a collaborative hybrid inspection to better understand the challenges and benefits of this new approach to both the regulators and industry. Soon after, an ICMRA Pilot Program for Collaborative Hybrid Inspection was ini­tiated. A protocol (implementation plan) for carrying out this pilot program had been published by ICMRA. Appended is a summary of some of the key points of this protocol.
WHO Listed Authority and Other International Reliance and Harmonization Initiatives
Scope The scope of the pilot will be limited to pre-approval and pre-license drug inspections and will not include surveillance drug inspections. The scope of the collaborative hybrid inspection should be well defined and aligned with the legal requirements and standards of the participating NRAs. The pilot also aims to evaluate operational eciency and cost ecacy; however, due to the limited sample size it is anticipated that further evaluation will be needed to determine the full impact of this new approach on regulatory authorities’ operations and costs. English will be the designated language of the program.
Objective The objective of the pilot is for multiple regulatory authorities to engage in an interactive, collaborative assessment while inspecting a manufacturing facility using a combination of on-site inspection and remote assessment of a manufacturing facility. The Collabora­tive Hybrid Inspection Pilot aspires to conduct three to five inspec­tions to support the scope and objectives. The ICMRA pilot for collaborative hybrid inspection will guide regulatory authorities to gain information on how to prepare, execute and report a collabora­tive hybrid inspection and describes how participating stakeholders, namely the NRAs and the industry, can engage to allow evaluation of a facility via a collaborative hybrid inspection approach. With the planned sample size of three to five inspections, the goal of the pilot is to understand how the collaborative hybrid process may work, gain an initial understanding of costs and benefits this additional alternative approach presents to all involved, and determine next steps to assess feasibility for implementation on a larger scale. The lessons and information collected from this eort will need to be evaluated by each regulatory authority to determine how it aligns
115

with their inspection program. This is not meant to change each regulatory authority’s inspection process.
Benefits
The anticipated benefits for a participating pharmaceutical man­ufacturing facility are the assessment of the facility (in terms of inspectional requirements) by multiple NRAs simultaneously in one single engagement. This is expected to save the time, eort, and resources for the manufacturing facility which is being inspected. The collaborative hybrid inspection will also allow multiple NRAs to take action and thus potentially accelerate the availability of crit­ical medicines in multiple markets.
Implementation Plan
In order to ensure feasibility of this ICMRA pilot program for col­laborative hybrid inspection, a small number of regulatory author­ities (about three to five NRAs, with some regulatory authorities participating as an observing inspectorate) will participate in such collaborative hybrid inspections. As more experience is gained, the pilot may be extended to additional NRAs. Even though initial par­ticipation is limited, requests for participation from other NRAs during the pilot may be received and discussed by participants. The minimum active participation will be two NRAs (one on-site and one remote).
Information Technology (IT) Tools
IT tools used for the collaborative hybrid inspection have to be agreed upfront among all parties, including the inspectorates and manufacturing facility. All parties have to ensure that privacy, secu­rity and confidentiality are preserved. Before the inspection the IT platforms and connection should also be tested in advance. Signal

strength and bandwidth capacity should be high enough to allow a stable and fast connection. Broadband should be available in all areas especially where the inspectorates will carry out the virtual plant tour that may need video streaming. This is because the live­streamed video quality of the tour can be aected by the limitations of the reach of the Wi-Fi signal within the manufacturing facility. To minimize disruption, the inspected company should provide IT professionals in the preparation as well as during the inspection to support all technology-related aspects.
A detailed Implementation Plan for the ICMRA Pilot Program for Collaborative Hybrid Inspection is available at the ocial ICMRA website at https://icmra.info/drupal/en.

4.5.8. International Pharmaceutical Regulators Program (IPR P)
The Regulators Forum was originally created in 2008 as an informal platform for discussing and promoting harmonization activities amongst NRAs and regional harmoni­zation initiatives. Over time, the Regulators Forum evolved to a point where it needed a more formal structure. This resulted in the creation of the International Pharmaceutical Regulators Forum (IPRF) in 2013. Back then, the IPRF and another initia­tive, namely, the International Generic Drug Regulators Program (IGDRP) had complementary objectives and a largely overlapping membership, albeit dealing with dierent product scopes. IPRF focused on innovative pharmaceutical products, whilst IGDRP
118
Manufacture and Supply, Science and Reg ulation Towards High-Qua lity Medicinal Products
focused on regulatory issues specific to generic pharmaceutical products. Recognizing the potential gain in eciencies and cre­ation of synergies, IPRF and IGDRP agreed to a consolidation of the two initiatives. In January 2018, the IPRF and IGDRP were brought together under one roof, and they now function under the merged entity called the IPRP. Today, membership of IPRP includes many national and regional regulatory authorities from around the world, with the WHO and the European Directorate on the Quality of Medicines and Healthcare as observers. IPRP represents an international platform for its regulatory members and observers with the following goals:
Sharing of best practices and regulatory experience;
Discussion of topics that are of mutual interest, especially new
scientific technologies and regulatory challenges;
Promotion of a consistent implementation of ICH guidelines; and
Promotion of a possible approximation of regulatory requirements.
Currently, the IPRP comprises eight Working Groups as follows:
— Quality Working Group for Generics — Bioequivalence Working Group for Generics — Information Sharing Working Group for Generics — Biosimilars Working Group — Nanomedicines Working Group — Gene therapy Working Group — Cell therapy Working Group — Identification of Medicinal Products Working Group.

4.5.9. Latin America
At present, there are no strict regulatory harmonization among Latin American countries on regulatory reliance and recogni­tion under one roof. Nonetheless, eorts are being made towards greater harmonization to leverage the work done by Latin Amer­ican countries to minimize duplication of work. In particular, there are initiatives to converge national regulations through the adoption of internationally accepted guidelines such as those of the ICH with the view to expedite the product approval process. Latin American countries are also working to reinforce harmoni­zation through the Pan American Health Organization by sharing information and developing common pharmacopoeia. Similarly, discussions are taking place in the Latin American region to rely entirely or partly on approval decisions made by the EMA and the US FDA. Latin American countries such as Argentina, Colombia, Mexico and Peru are now accepting GMP certificates issued by EMA and US FDA. However, Brazil ANVISA still carries out its own inspections.
119
In addition to the above initiatives on reliance and harmonization, some of the inspectorates of Latin American countries are joining forces with international inspection authorities. In 2016, Brazil became the first Latin American country to be a member of ICH whilst Cuba, Mexico and Colombia became observers. In January

2018, Argentina National Institute of Drugs became the 1st PIC/S Participating Authority from Latin America. This was followed by Mexico and Brazil. Over the years, many international devel­opments in pharmaceutical inspection, regulatory harmonization and reliance have come out from Latin America. Beyond the above initiatives, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Cuba are entering into cooperation agreements related to inspections and market recalls sharing information to avoid duplication of work and expedite mar­ket access. Another example of regulatory harmonization was the signing of an agreement in 2016 between Brazil ANVISA and the United States Pharmacopoeia to cooperate on harmonizing phar­macopoeia to minimize duplication of work.
4.5.10. Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC/S)
4.5.10.1. Introduction
The PIC/S was established in 1995 as an exten­sion to the Pharmaceutical Inspection Con­vention (PIC) of 1970. PIC/S is a non-binding and informal co-operative arrangement amongst its Participating Authorities in the field of GMP of medicinal products for human or veterinary use. It is open to any medicines NRA having a comparable GMP inspection system. The goal of PIC/S is to lead the international development, implementation and maintenance of harmonized GMP standards (for the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry) and quality systems (for Inspectorates) in the field of medic­inal products. The PIC/S secretariat is based in Geneva, Switzerland and the PICS website can be accessed via http://www.picscheme.org/. The PIC/S GMP standard is studied in depth in Chapter 5.

4.5.10.2. PIC/S Participating Authorities
As at 1 January 2024, PIC/S comprises 56 Participating Authorities coming from dierent parts of the world (Europe, Africa, America, Asia and Australasia). PIC/S aims at harmonizing inspection proce­dures worldwide by developing common standards in the field of GMP and by providing training opportunities to inspectors. It also aims at facilitating cooperation and networking between compe­tent authorities, and regional and international organizations, thus increasing mutual confidence. This is reflected in PIC/S’ mission which is to lead the international development, implementation and maintenance of harmonized GMP standards and quality sys­tems of inspectorates in the field of medicinal products. This is to be achieved by developing and promoting harmonized GMP stand­ards and guidance documents, training competent authorities, in particular inspectors, assessing (and reassessing) inspectorates and facilitating the cooperation and networking for competent authori­ties and international organizations. PIC/S comprises the following Participating Authorities:
