REGULATORY SUPPORT FOR SUBMISSION VIA ACCESS CONSORTIUM.

End–to–end regulatory support for dossier submission to ACCESS countries

The ‘ACCESS’ consortium, formed in 2007, comprises of the national regulatory authorities of Australia, Canada, Singapore and Switzerland. ACCESS – In October 2020, the United Kingdom regulator – the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) – joined the consortium and the group’s name was changed to ‘Access’. The consortium’s goal is to maximize international cooperation, reduce duplication, and increase each agency’s capacity to ensure patients have timely access to high quality, safe and effective therapeutic products. Pharmaceutical companies that submit applications to some or all Access countries will benefit from having their products evaluated for marketing in those countries simultaneously, with reduced evaluation times.
