π§Ύ What is a Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA)?
The MAA is a formal request to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or national authorities to approve a medicinal product for marketing in the European Economic Area (EEA) β including all 27 EU Member States, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.
A successful MAA leads to the Marketing Authorisation (MA) β legally allowing the product to be placed on the market.
π Types of EU Approval Procedures for MAA
The route you choose depends on the product type, target countries, and legal eligibility. There are four main routes:
1. β
Centralised Procedure (CP)
π Mandatory for: Biologics, Advanced Therapies, and Orphan Drugs
New Active Substances for: HIV/AIDS, cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative, auto-immune, and viral diseases Products made using biotech processes (e.g., recombinant DNA) Medicines for rare diseases (Orphan Designation)
π Submit to EMA.
Evaluation done by CHMP (Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use).
Approval by the European Commission. One single marketing authorisation valid in all EU/EEA countries.
2. π Decentralised Procedure (DCP)
π For products not yet authorised in any EU country
When simultaneous approval in multiple EU countries is desired for generic drugs, well-established use, or products not falling under Centralised
πChoose a Reference Member State (RMS) and Concerned Member States (CMSs). Submit dossier to all states at once. RMS leads scientific review and shares with CMSs. If consensus is reached, each country grants national MA.
3. π Mutual Recognition Procedure (MRP)
πFor products already approved in one EU country (RMS)
You want to extend approval to other EU/EEA states (CMS)
π Submit the existing MA and data to additional countries.
RMS shares original assessment report. If CMSs accept it, national approvals are granted.
4. EU National Procedure
πOnly when the product will be marketed in one country.
Each country has its own specific rules (e.g., Germany β BfArM, France β ANSM, etc.)

Post 6: πICSR Case Narrative Writing: Is it an art?
- Initially yes, but after a little bit of practice it is quite easy!!
Interview question - How do you write narrative?
β - I just follow the client/customer template
β
Talk about the chronology, history, event term, product and outcome
What are the best practices, common mistakes & key takeaways ππ
β Maintain a clear, structured format in case narratives
β Ensure clinical accuracy by verifying information against source documents
β Avoid copy-pasting to minimize oversight errors
β Conduct thorough quality checks to catch inconsistencies or missing details
β Ensure MedDRA coding consistency for adverse event descriptions
β Train teams to write concise but comprehensive narratives that meet FDA/EMA expectations
β Standardize global narrative writing SOPs to align with FDA, EMA, and MHRA requirements

Post 5:π ICSR series - Causality Assessment tools ππ
βWHO-UMC Scale: Categorizes cases into - Certain, Probable, Possible, Unlikely, Conditional/Unclassified, and Unassessable
βNaranjo Algorithm: Quantitative score-based system (Definite, Probable, Possible, Doubtful) using a 10-question criteria
Other methods:
- Case-by-Case Assessment (most used and requiring medical knowledge and clinical judgment skills)
- CIOMS scale (used rarely)
βSmart question during the interviews :Why do you use the above tools?
Impress the interviewer by saying: "These tools serve only as a reference, but thorough medical and clinical judgment should be applied to make decisions."
π© GPLACO SOLUTIONS can provide expert guidance to companies on implementing best practices for AI/ML-driven causality assessment models to standardize processes, improve consistency, and reduce subjectivity in decision-making. Letβs talk!
