Task A: Good Registration Management (GRM)

Concept

The concept of Good Registration Management (GRM) is to jointly promote Good Review Practice (GRevP) and Good Submission Practice (GSubP) by reviewers and applicants. Close communications between review authorities and applicants during product registration process is the key element of GRM.

Good Submission Practice (GSubP)

APAC Good Submission Practice (GSubP) guideline is a document about the best practices proposed by RA-EWG under the concept of Good Registration Management. It aims to enhance the quality and efficiency of the drug registration process by improving the quality of submission and management. Promotion of GSubP by the industry has been recognized as important counterpart in facilitating Good Review Practice (GRevP) by the regulatory authorities.

Good Registration Management (GRM) Training

Good Registration Management (GRM) is a concept to promote efficient registration process for medical products by promoting Good Review Practice (GRevP) and Good Submission Practice (GSubP) cooperatively.

In Feb. 2016, APAC GSubP Guideline was endorsed by APEC Regulatory Harmonization Steering Committee (RHSC), and has merged with GRevP to become one of the pilot programs for APEC Training Centers of Excellence for Regulatory Sciences (CoEs) (APEC Training CoEs). APAC Regulations and Approvals Expert Working Group (RA-EWG) fully support the CoEs by design training materials and send trainers for GSubP.

2016 APEC Good Registration Management Regulatory Science CoE Pilot was held on November 15-17 in Taipei. The training is designed under the “Train the trainer” concept, which means applicants and reviewers who attended the CoE pilot as trainees will cascade the training down to each economy.
