Other Organisations其他合作组织
Without having institutionalised its relations, PIC/S co-operates with an increasing number of other Organisations, which are also active in the field of GMDP.
除建立制度化合作关系的组织外,PIC/S 正与越来越多同样深耕药品生产与流通质量管理规范(GMDP)领域的机构开展合作。
Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN)
东南亚国家联盟(东盟,ASEAN)
As a number of PIC/S Participating Authorities are also Competent Authorities in the field of GMDP under the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), PIC/S is regularly meeting representatives of ASEAN Competent Authorities as well as of the ASEAN Secretariat. The third PIC/S-ASEAN Forum took place in the margins of the 2015 Annual Training Seminar in Nusa Dua (Bali, Indonesia) during which PIC/S has proposed to ASEAN to sign a Memorandum of Understanding. In addition to these meetings, one of the ASEAN Participating Authority of PIC/S acts as “Liaison Officer” between PIC/S and ASEAN and regularly reports on the latest meetings of the Pharmaceutical Product Working Group (PPWG) of ASEAN Member States and the Joint Sectoral Committee (JSC) on GMP Inspection of Manufacturers of Medicinal Products (JSC GMP MRA).
因多个PIC/S参与机构同时为东盟框架下药品生产与流通质量管理规范(GMDP)领域的主管部门,PIC/S常年与东盟各主管部门代表及东盟秘书处开展会晤。第三届PIC/S-东盟论坛于2015年在印度尼西亚巴厘岛努沙杜瓦举办的年度培训研讨会期间同期召开,本次论坛上PIC/S向东盟提出签署谅解备忘录的提议。除常规会晤外,一名同时隶属于东盟的PIC/S参与机构代表担任PIC/S与东盟的联络官,定期向PIC/S汇报东盟成员国药品工作组(PPWG)、药品生产企业GMP检查联合部门委员会(JSC GMP MRA)的最新会议情况。
In 2019, an exchange of letters was signed between PIC/S and the ASEAN Pharmaceutical Product Working Group (PPWG) related to co-operation on GMP related matters. A similar exchange of letters with the ASEAN Traditional Medicines Health Supplements Product Working Group (TMHS PWG) is envisioned for the future.
2019 年,PIC/S与东盟药品工作组(PPWG)就GMP相关事宜的合作签署换文;未来,PIC/S还计划与东盟传统药物与健康补充剂工作组(TMHS PWG)签署同类换文。
PIC/S Membership has been defined as one of the essential criteria for the establishment of a Sectoral MRA by ASEAN in the field of GMP inspections. The scope of the ASEAN MRA is, however, limited to medicinal products in finished dosage forms (Modern Medicines); Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, Biologicals, Radiopharmaceuticals, Investigational Medicinal Products and Traditional Medicines are excluded. To become an ASEAN listed authority under the ASEAN MRA on GMP, a Competent GMP Authority of ASEAN must either be a PIC/S Participating Authority or lodge an official application with the ASEAN Secretariat to be a “Listed Inspection Service” under the ASEAN Sectoral MRA on GMP Inspection.
东盟将PIC/S成员资格列为其GMP检查领域部门互认安排(Sectoral MRA)设立的核心标准之一。但东盟该互认安排的适用范围存在限定,仅覆盖现代药品制剂,活性药物成分(API)、生物制品、放射性药品、临床试验用药品及传统药物均未纳入。东盟成员国的GMP主管部门若想成为东盟GMP互认安排下的备案机构,需满足两项条件之一:一是本身为PIC/S参与机构,二是向东盟秘书处正式提交申请,成为东盟GMP检查部门互认安排下的备案检查机构(Listed Inspection Service)。
Heads of Medicines Agencies of the European Economic Area (EEA HMA)
欧洲经济区药品管理机构负责人联盟(EEA HMA)
Under the framework of a letter of agreement between PIC/S and EU/EEA Heads of Medicines Agencies (HMA), which entered into force on 15 August 2016, PIC/S and HMA co-operate in exchanging information in the context of the EEA Joint Audit Programme (JAP) of GMP Inspectorates and the PIC/S Joint Reassessment Programme (JRP) of PAs, which ensures that both new and current PIC/S PAs meet the same requirements. PIC/S and HMA also recognise that in the EEA context the EEA JAP and the PIC/S JRP are deemed equivalent. Audit schedules are also exchanged between the two parties with a view to avoid any duplication and foster mutual acceptance and recognition of audits as well as maintain equivalent auditing tools and programmes, including joint training of auditors. In 2021, PIC/S and EMA continued to shared audit reports as well as information on upcoming (re)assessments.
PIC/S与欧盟/欧洲经济区药品管理机构负责人联盟(HMA)签订的协议函于2016年8月15日正式生效,双方在该协议函框架下,围绕欧洲经济区GMP检查机构联合审计计划(JAP)与PIC/S参与机构联合复评计划(JRP)开展信息互通合作。其中PIC/S联合复评计划的核心作用,是确保新加入及现有PIC/S参与机构均满足统一的准入与存续要求。PIC/S与HMA双方一致认可,在欧洲经济区框架内,欧洲经济区联合审计计划与PIC/S联合复评计划具备等效性。双方亦会互通审计计划表,此举旨在避免审计工作重复开展,推动审计结果的相互认可与接受,同时维持审计工具和审计计划的等效性,相关合作还包括为审计人员开展联合培训。2021年,PIC/S与欧洲药品管理局(EMA)进一步深化协作,持续互通审计报告,以及各项即将开展的(复)评估工作相关信息。
The International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH)
人用药品注册技术要求国际协调会(ICH)
Relations with ICH date back to the 1990s. In 1996, PIC/S decided at a conference in Canberra (Australia) to develop a draft Guide on GMP for APIs. In 1998, PIC/S agreed to hand over the draft API Guide to what was called at the time the “International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use” in order to enable industry to become involved in the drafting process. The “Good Manufacturing Practice Guide for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients” (ICH Q7A) was finalised in November 2000 after extensive public consultation. Most countries have adopted the ICH document as a GMP requirement for APIs. ICH Q7A has become Part II of the PIC/S GMP Guide.
PIC/S与ICH的合作渊源可追溯至20世纪90年代。1996年,PIC/S在澳大利亚堪培拉召开的会议上决议编制原料药GMP指南草案;1998年,为推动制药行业参与指南起草工作,PIC/S同意将该草案移交彼时的人用药品注册技术要求国际协调会议(ICH)。经广泛公开征询意见后,《活性药物成分良好生产规范指南》(ICH Q7A)于2000年11月正式定稿,目前多数国家已将该文件列为原料药GMP的法定执行要求,ICH Q7A也被纳入PIC/S GMP指南,成为其第二部分内容。
Between 2010 and 2013, PIC/S developed a document on Questions and Answers (Q&A) relating to the implementation of Part II (ICH Q7) of the PIC/S GMP Guide. In 2013, in order to avoid duplication with a similar initiative undertaken by ICH, PIC/S agreed to hand over its Q&A document to ICH, provided ICH acknowledged the work carried out by PIC/S. PIC/S participated in the subsequent meetings of the ICH Working Group on the Q7 Q&A. The ICH Q7 Q&A has since been published.
2010年至2013年,PIC/S编制完成《PIC/S GMP指南第二部分(ICH Q7)实施问答文件》。2013年,为避免与ICH同期开展的同类工作产生重叠,PIC/S 在ICH认可其已开展工作成果的前提下,同意将该问答文件移交ICH,并后续参与了ICH Q7实施问答工作组的相关会议。目前,ICH版Q7实施问答文件已正式发布。
PIC/S is an Observer in ICH since 2017. Following a proposal by the ICH Management Committee (MC) for more routine engagement between PIC/S and ICH, a pilot was launched on 1 May 2020 covering co-operation in ICH Q9 (Quality Risk Management) and Q12 (Pharmaceutical Product Lifecycle Management). Training activities relating to ICH Q9 and Q12 are under development by PIC/S thanks to funding by ICH.
PIC/S自2017年起成为ICH的观察员机构。基于ICH管理委员会(MC)提出的深化PIC/S与ICH常态化协作的提议,双方于2020年5月1日启动试点合作,合作范围聚焦于ICH Q9(质量风险管理)与ICH Q12(药品全生命周期管理)两大领域。依托ICH提供的资金支持,PIC/S目前正推进 ICH Q9、Q12相关的培训活动开发工作。
International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities (ICMRA)
国际药品监管机构联盟(ICMRA)
The International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities (ICMRA) is an informal coalition of national and regional Medicines Regulatory Authorities (MRAs).
国际药品监管机构联盟(ICMRA)是由各国及地区药品监管机构(MRA)组成的非正式联盟组织。
The objective of ICMRA is for Heads of Medicines Agencies to have a common, strategic vision on issues of common interest such as on capacity building, information sharing, generic medicine, etc. GMP equivalence and the better sharing of GMP-related information are essential for ICMRA, which considers PIC/S membership as the main reference. Non-PIC/S Members of ICMRA have been encouraged to join PIC/S.
ICMRA的核心宗旨,是推动各药品管理机构负责人在能力建设、信息共享、仿制药管理等共同关注的议题上形成统一的战略共识。其中,GMP 等效性认定及GMP相关信息的高效共享是ICMRA的核心工作方向,该组织将PIC/S成员资格作为相关工作的主要参考依据,同时鼓励其非PIC/S成员机构加入PIC/S。
PIC/S supports the ICMRA’s objectives, in particular the better use and sharing of resources globally. Close co-operation is in the mutual benefit of both organisations, in particular in the field of GMP. PIC/S regularly exchanges with ICMRA on regulatory collaboration.
PIC/S始终支持ICMRA的各项宗旨,尤其认同并助力其推动全球监管资源的高效利用与共享。双方开展的紧密合作具备互利共赢的价值,在GMP领域的协作尤为深入;PIC/S与ICMRA也会就监管协作相关事宜保持常态化的信息互通。
As from 2016, this included PIC/S representation in the ICMRA “GMP reliance framework on equivalency” and taking over the ICMRA GMP project to adapt the ICMRA draft Guidance on Inspection Reliance for PIC/S purpose. The aim of this guidance is to maximise inspection resources by relying on other trusted Regulatory Authorities for the GMP compliance of overseas facilities. The PIC/S network provides a strong foundation for this process by ensuring the capability of PAs via the PIC/S accession process and Joint Reassessment Programme. The PIC/S Guidance on Inspection Reliance (PI 048-1) was adopted by the Committee in April 2018 with an entry into force on 1 June 2018.
2016年起,双方的协作内容进一步拓展,包括PIC/S派代表参与 ICMRA “基于等效性的GMP互认框架”相关工作,以及承接ICMRA的GMP专项项目,对 ICMRA《检查互认指南草案》进行适配修订,使其满足PIC/S的应用需求。该指南的制定初衷,是通过采信其他可信监管机构对境外生产场地的GMP合规性检查结果,实现检查资源的最大化利用。PIC/S的网络体系为这一工作的推进奠定了坚实基础——通过成员准入流程与联合复评计划(JRP),保障了各参与机构(PA)的专业能力达标。PIC/S《检查互认指南》(PI 048-1)于2018年4月经委员会审议通过,同年6月1日正式生效。
In 2021, exchanges focused on the interaction between the ICMRA Working Group on distant assessment and the PIC/S Working Group on Distant Assessment with the aim to avoid a duplication of efforts. Since 2022, collaboration has started on the establishment of a Pharmaceutical Quality Knowledge Management System (PQ KMS), which could help to better inform both public and industry stakeholders on ICMRA’s efforts to improve global regulatory harmonisation and alignment.
2021年,双方的交流重点聚焦于ICMRA远程评估工作组与PIC/S远程评估工作组的协作衔接,核心目的是避免工作重叠。2022年起,PIC/S与ICMRA启动“药品质量知识管理体系(PQ KMS)”搭建的合作工作,该体系的建成将助力向公众及制药行业相关利益方,更清晰地传递ICMRA在推动全球监管协调统一方面的工作成果。
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
经济合作与发展组织(OECD)
In 2015, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) invited PIC/S to participate in a survey on international regulatory co-operation, in which some PIC/S accomplishments, in particular in the field of training, were highlighted. PIC/S has also been invited to attend OECD meetings on international regulatory co-operation and further contribute to surveys in this field.
2015年,经济合作与发展组织(OECD)邀请PIC/S参与国际监管协作相关调研,PIC/S在该调研中展现了多项工作成果,检查员培训领域的成果尤为突出。此后,PIC/S还受邀出席经合组织举办的国际监管协作相关会议,并持续为该领域的调研工作提供专业支持。
Professional Organisations & Industry
专业组织与制药行业
Since the manufacturer is at the heart of the GMP process, it is essential for PIC/S to maintain good relations with industry and professional organisations, notably those more active in the field of regulation, guidance documents and training. The support of industry associations and professional organisations to the goals of PIC/S is a prerequisite for the latter’s successful expansion.
制药企业是GMP实施的核心主体,因此PIC/S与行业界及专业组织维持良好合作关系至关重要,尤其是在法规制定、指导文件编制及培训领域较为活跃的机构。行业协会与专业组织对PIC/S发展目标的支持,是PIC/S实现全球化拓展的重要前提。
As a matter of fact, industry is generally favourable to PIC/S’ expansion: the harmonisation of GMP facilitates trade and also means fewer inspections for manufacturers. The latter are increasingly worried by the multiplication and duplication of inspections, which means not only more fees but also more staff immobilised and possibly a lower-than-usual production output during these inspections.
事实上,制药行业整体对PIC/S的发展拓展持积极支持态度:GMP标准的全球协调统一不仅为药品贸易提供便利,也能减少制药企业接受的检查频次。当前,企业对于检查工作的增多与重复问题的担忧日益加剧——此类情况不仅会增加企业的检查费用,还会占用大量工作人员精力,甚至可能导致企业在检查期间的生产效率低于正常水平。
PIC/S mainly entertains privileged relations with three professional associations: the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE); the Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) and the European Compliance Academy (ECA) These organisations provide valuable comments on draft PIC/S guidance documents and open their training courses to Regulatory Authorities, in particular to those of PIC/S. ECA, ISPE and PDA are sharing their technical guidelines with PIC/S Inspectors, which are much appreciated; and ISPE and PDA actively provide speakers to PIC/S Seminars. PDA has also worked with PIC/S in the field of training, in particular on APIs (see International Training Programme on APIs) and all three organisations have expressed interested in supporting the PIC/S Inspectorates’ Academy (PIA).
PIC/S主要与三家专业协会建立了深度合作关系,分别为:国际制药工程协会(ISPE)、国际注射剂药品协会(PDA,原肠外药物协会)、欧洲合规研究院(ECA)。上述机构会为PIC/S指导文件草案提供专业且具有参考价值的意见,并向各药品监管机构开放旗下培训课程,PIC/S 成员机构为重点开放对象。欧洲合规研究院、国际制药工程协会及国际注射剂药品协会还会与PIC/S检查员共享其技术指南,该举措获得了检查员的高度认可;同时,国际制药工程协会与国际注射剂药品协会会积极为PIC/S研讨会指派行业专家担任讲师。其中,国际注射剂药品协会还与PIC/S在培训领域开展联合合作,原料药(API)领域为核心合作方向(详见《原料药国际培训项目》)。目前,三家机构均已表达支持PIC/S检查员学院(PIA)建设与发展的意愿。
PIC/S maintains relations with other industry and professional associations such as:
