Notes de l'éditeur

  1. upper middle-income economyServices includes well-developed social, corporate, financial, insurance, real estate, transport, communication services, and tourism.industrial production is highly diversified in Argentina: Leading are: Food processing and beverages; motor vehicles and auto parts; refinery products, biodiesel; chemicals and pharmaceuticals; steel and aluminum; industrial and farm machinery; electronics and home appliances. Agriculture: mainly meat, cereals and other grains
  2. Drug registration in Argentina is regulated by Decree 150/1992 and posterior modifications. To understand which procedure should be followed at the time of submitting for drug registration in Argentina, the countries in which the drug product of interest is manufactured and marketed should be taken into consideration. ANMAT made for this purpose two list of countries, based on the level of sanitary surveillance, called Annex I and Annex II. (these lists are annexes to the drug registration decree)The different registration cases are described in the 150/1992 Decree, which classify products in three categories based on the countries in which they are manufactured and/or commercialized. Each category is described in a separate article of this Decree.
  3. ‘Article 3′ productsApplies to:Drug products manufactured in Argentina or in an Annex II country, when there is a similar drug product already registered in Argentina.Drug products manufactured in Argentina, with marketing authorization in any Annex I country, even if there are no similar products registered in Argentina.Summary of documents required for submission:Product information: name, formula, pharmaceutical form, pharmacologic classification, marketing condition.Technical information: testing standard, specifications, shelf life, manufacturing method, pharmaceutical equivalence evidence.Labeling texts (packaging and leaflets)If manufactured in an Annex II country: CPP of originGMP certificate from Annex I country or ArgentinaTimeline for approval: about 12 months
  4. ‘Article 4′ productsApplies for:Drug products with marketing authorization in at least one Annex I country.ANMAT relies heavily in high surveillance health authorities (defined as those of Annex I countries) so the procedure for registering drugs that have already been approved and are currently being marketed in those countries is the simplest and generally quicker. The CPP from an Annex I country, stating the marketed status, is the most important document of the submission. Technical information might even not be requested at all.Summary of documents required for submission:CPP from Annex I country – Marketed statusLabeling texts (packaging and leaflets)Technical information: to be submitted only upon authority requestTimeline for approval: about 10 months
  5. ‘Article 5′ productsApplies for:Drug products manufactured in Argentina, when there are no similar products already registered in Argentina.Drug products manufactured in an Annex II country and not marketed in any Annex I country, when there are no similar products already registered in Argentina.Drug products manufactured in a non-Annex I, non-Annex II country, and not marketed in any Annex I country.Summary of documents required for submission:Product information: name, formula, pharmaceutical form, pharmacologic classification, marketing condition.Technical information: testing standard, specifications, shelf life, manufacturing method, pharmaceutical equivalence evidence.Labeling texts (packaging and leaflets)If manufactured in an Annex II country: CPP of originGMP certificate from Annex I country or Argentina (the same than for Article 3)Safety and efficacy evidence (preclinical and clinical studies)Timeline for approval: not less than 3 yearsThe strategy is generally to wait for approval in an annex I country in order to go for the Article 4 procedure
  6. ‘Article 5′ productsApplies for:Drug products manufactured in Argentina, when there are no similar products already registered in Argentina.Drug products manufactured in an Annex II country and not marketed in any Annex I country, when there are no similar products already registered in Argentina.Drug products manufactured in a non-Annex I, non-Annex II country, and not marketed in any Annex I country.Summary of documents required for submission:Product information: name, formula, pharmaceutical form, pharmacologic classification, marketing condition.Technical information: testing standard, specifications, shelf life, manufacturing method, pharmaceutical equivalence evidence.Labeling texts (packaging and leaflets)If manufactured in an Annex II country: CPP of originGMP certificate from Annex I country or Argentina (the same than for Article 3)Safety and efficacy evidence (preclinical and clinical studies)Timeline for approval: not less than 3 yearsThe strategy is generally to wait for approval in an annex I country in order to go for the Article 4 procedure
  7. Both when products are manufactured locally and when they are imported from other countries, there has to be quality check in Argentina for local product release. The quality control duties can be performed by the manufacturing or importing company, or by an authorized third party.For the cases of new product registration,new concentration of biologic or small-therapeutic-window APIs,new pharmaceutical form or marketing authorization transfera procedure called first batch verification will take place.Before the release of the first batch for commercial purposes, the manufacturing or importing company has to request the first batch verification, by submitting the corresponding form, the manufacturing and/or quality control schedule, the relavant technical information and by paying a fee.ANMAT will then either physically inspect the manufacturing and/or control processes in the dates provided in the schedule, or review the manufacturing and/or control records afterwards as a ‘documental verification’ if it decides not to inspect.Upon a positive outcome, a marketing authorization will be granted
  8. In Argentina, once granted the registration by ANMAT, product certificates expire in 5 years. The registration renewal procedure is relatively very simple, almost an entirely administrative procedure. The request for renewal has to be submitted within 30 days prior to the certificate expiration date, and should include the following documents:Written requestSworn statement – marketed/non marketed statusEvidence of marketingCertified copy of original certificateCopy of last approved labeling texts
  9.
