In this session, Speakers from Health Canada will provide an overview of the proposed amendments for the first phase of the Agile Licensing for Drugs initiative. The majority of the proposed amendments are based on agile regulatory tools tested through the COVID-19 response and others are aimed at addressing long-standing industry irritants.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
- Understand Health Canada’s plan for regulatory modernization for drugs including the use of Terms and Conditions, Risk Management Plans and Rolling Reviews
