EMA: Pilots for Post-Authorisation Changes

In collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), the European Medicines Agency (EMA) supports a pilot programme that allows pharmaceutical companies to submit EMA-approved post-authorisation changes (i.e. variations) to multiple non-EU national authorities.

Currently, 10 ongoing pilot projects involve up to 100 national authorities. These pilots primarily address major manufacturing changes, aimimg to minimize potential disruptions in the supply of medicines and vaccines.
