Progress in the implementation of China's drug conditional approval system and some suggestions
Objective:To provide reference for the improvement of the conditional approval system and the smooth implementation of related work in China.Methods:Through literature research and data statistics,the implementation of China's conditional approval system was described in terms of indications,accelerated review time,clinical trials,post-marketing requirements,and inclusion in medical insurance,problems existing in the implementation of the system were analyzed,and suggestions for improvement were put forward.Results:Conditional approval of drugs was dominated by anti-tumor drugs;conditional approval could expedite the marketing of clinically urgently needed drugs with outstanding clinical value;phase Ⅱ single-arm trials with objective remission rate(ORR)as an endpoint metric accounted for the highest proportion of pivotal clinical trials supporting conditional approval;post-marketing studies included pharmacological and real-world studies in addition to confirmatory clinical studies;inclusion in health insurance was essentially the same as for routinely approved innovative drugs.Conclusion:In order to promote the smooth implementation of conditional approval of drugs in China,it is still necessary for the regulatory authorities to continuously improve the relevant regulations,supporting systems,organizations and their functions.
