• Inspection Checklist to be made which can be referred by the SEC committee examining the CT design

• Consideration of local CT data waiver for life-threatening diseases

• Challenges in Review and Approval Process for New Drugs/Clinical Trials (including SEC functioning)

• Accreditation of Investigators/ Sites / Ethics Committees

• Recommendations for A-V Recording

• Three Trials per Investigator

• Requirement of 50%-20% Government Sites & 50 Bedded Hospitals

• CT waiver for additional strengths / additional indications

• Post approval commitments

• GEAC working

• Company Name/Mfg. Site Name/Address Change

• Import Registration: One manufacturing Site

Action to be performed:

CDSCO is recruiting 150 new inspectors. They are ready to give one week training slot to be conducted by the industry for them.

Checklist needs to be prepared by representative from the Industry and DCGI office.

Definition of life threatening needs to be build along with a illustrative list of medical conditions.

Detailed Scope for SEC functioning needs to be spelled out. Also an orientation exercise needs to be done for all ethics committee members.

All agreed that a detailed Standard Operating procedure needs to be created for Presubmission meetings.

CDSCO to share the rationale of why only 3 trial per investigator suggested. Nishith Desai and Associates to submit a white paper on this highlighting the pain points faced by the industry.

There is already a notification made for this issue which is currently being vetted by the law ministry. The notification tries to bring clarity on the pain points being raised by the industry and academia related to consent process.

Since the DCGI approval and GEAC approval was to happen in parallel within 45 days, the inaction being practiced by GEAC is hurting the industry badly Rule change needed from 3 months import to 6 months import Current ongoing studies will not be impacted by this. There will be a window provided for completing all old approved clinical trials as per the old laws.

(Recommendation draft is being prepared by OPPI on behalf of the industry and LSW LifeScienceWorld to be sent to the Joint Secretary and DCGI office).
