2. Detailed description of the registration procedure.
2.1. Preliminary preparation for submission.
Before start of the registration procedure it is very important to decide the format of the dossier, composition of the dossier, budget of the registration procedure and other particularities.
Ukraine has two standards of the dossier that can be chosen by Applicant – CTD (same as in EU) and local “simple” format. Requirements of the “simple” format is becoming stricter every month and moving towards the CTD format. Procedure of registration (steps that should be done) does not depend on the format of the dossier.
Two types of medicinal product are used to be classified in Ukraine : original (active substance or indications are new for Ukraine ) and generic (active substance with same or alike indications was previously registered in Ukraine ). Term “generic” also covers medicinal products that are “well-established use” (more than 15 years), fixed combination (combination of well-known components that is slightly different from previously registered – for example vitamins).
Registration of generic requires only first two parts of the dossier in “simple” format (in other words clinical and preclinical studies are not required) in the case if Bioequivalence or Bioavailability studies are submitted. For injection forms some reduced preclinical and/or clinical studies are required. For local forms (gel, cream etc.) only serious expert reports are required.
Same situation is for CTD format in the case if product is generic: BE study plus expert reports (literature overview) on preclinical and clinical documentation are required.
Registration of original product will require full dossier that will contain detailed information on preclinical and clinical studies, same for “simple” and CTD format. Otherwise, if full dossier (incl. preclinical and clinical) for original product is not provided – product can be directed for clinical studies in Ukraine .
Depending on the chosen format of the dossier (CTD or “simple”) and classification (original or generic) the following procedure of the state registration will be maintained: require documents, form of the Application, sum of the State fees and other.
We offer to our potential customers free procedure of the preliminary conclusion to realize the possibilities and requirements. We need to receive from Applicant a composition of the medicinal product (Specification), indications for use (instruction of summary of product's characteristics) and information about country of origin.
Experts of Cratia Ltd. will perform the analysis of the received information (what can also include the scientific advice from the State Authority), afterwards – send you the preliminary conclusion.
To check the compliance of the dossier to the legal requirements we offer the procedure of the internal preliminary control of the dossier. After we sign the Confidentiality Agreement – you send us the dossier in paper or electronic form. Experts of our company carefully inspect the received documentation and make their comments regarding quality and quantity composition of the dossier (missing documents etc.). Procedure is free of charge.
2.2. Preparation (localization) of the dossier for submission.
After we have performed the internal preliminary control of the dossier and signed an Agreement – we start preparation of the dossier: translation of the necessary parts, preparation of the AND upon chemical-analytical part of the dossier, preparation of the TND upon description and validation of the manufacturing process, preparation of the instruction for medical use and package leaflet upon SmPC (Summary of product's characteristics) or CDS (core data sheet), preparation of the package text and so on.
During localization process many questions and comments are usually appear, that should be answered by applicant or manufacturer. Since we have the great experience in the registration of the medicinal products – we usually predict many of the questions that would be asked by experts from State Pharmacological Center .
Preparation of the dossier usually takes from 2 to 4 months, depending on the product.
We have implemented the double quality control system that minimizes any risks of the mistakes at the final version of the dossier.
We advice to submit the Application at least 2-3 weeks before the dossier will be ready for submission. Upon received Application State Pharmacological Center of Ukraine issues the official preliminary conclusion and Invoices for payment of the State Fees.
2.3. Submission and accompanying the dossier.
After payment of the State fees the dossier can be submitted to the State Pharmacological Center of Ukraine. Dossier for the finished medicinal product must be submitted in 3 copies that will be distributed between expert commissions.
During expertise of the dossier some questions that require respective answers can appear. The shorter term of the reply for such questions – the shorter term of the whole registration procedure. For that reason authorized person of Cratia Ltd. visit State Pharmacological Center almost daily.
Except documentary approval of the quality, safety and efficiency of the medicinal product – there is a procedure of the quality assurance (repeatability) of the control methods on the samples of the medicine: samples of the pharmaceutical product must be provided to the local authorized laboratory for conducting of the all quality methods applied in the AND (Specification). Specialists of Cratia Ltd . will receive the conclusion about quantity of the samples, reference standards and regents, apply for and receive the approval for import of the samples, assist manufacturer in preparation of the correct Proforma Invoice and perform the custom clearance of the package with samples.
After successful quality assurance, adoption of the AND, TND, intrusion for use and package leaflet, answers on all questions of the profile commissions – medicinal product is included to the log of the session of the State Pharmacological Center of Ukraine. Registration certificate will be issued during 15-20 days from the moment of the adoption on the session.
