    Abstract Purpose: This article provides an analysis of the various regulatory decisions available in the public domain that suggest the use of real-world data (RWD) for postmarketing surveillance activities of products that have a marketing authorization approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The study focuses on the cases in which RWD was used for postapproval commitments or requirements (and to a lesser extent label extensions, as this has been previously published) of medicinal products comprising small molecules and biologics to support efficacy claims or confirm an acceptable safety profile.
    Methods: Clarivate Analytics was commissioned to collect data from cases in which RWD was used in the postapproval settings submitted to the EMA (data were found covering the last 14 years) and the FDA (data were found spanning 23 previous years). The query resulted in 165 cases in which regulatory approval was associated with RWD. The data were then categorized and expanded with supporting information gathered from public databases and company websites.
    Findings: The use of RWD to support regulatory decision-making in the postmarketing surveillance setting has increased in recent years. Most postmarketing surveillance activities are legally enforced requests on the marketing authorization holder to further document the product's safety profile. Data drawn from registries tend to be the most common source in this regard.
    Implications: RWD have increasingly been used in recent years, both for new product approvals and line extensions and, as shown in this study, in the postapproval setting. There is now a growing appreciation of the potential of RWD as a source in its own right to support regulatory decision-making on the benefits and risks associated with clinical interventions.

    Abstract Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the management and operation of regulatory agencies and the pharmaceutical industry around the world. It has prompted regulatory authorities to consider new ways of working and introduced, among others, remote inspections to validate the integrity of the regulatory data submitted by companies, to evaluate the quality of production and manufacturing sites, and to ensure the conformity with Good Regulatory Practices with the overall goal of guaranteeing patient safety during the crisis.
    Method: This article summarizes and discusses remote inspection guidelines and other related information made available by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (Australia), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Agency (Japan), the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (United Kingdom), and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We also analyze the effect of the pandemic on inspections conducted by the inspectorates of the EMA and the FDA.
    Findings: The regulatory authorities that we studied all recognized the importance of implementing regulatory policies on remote inspections in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The remote inspection guidelines from the 5 selected regulatory authorities aimed at mitigating the impact of the pandemic but, while providing valuable advice to the pharmaceutical companies and being similar in intent, were not always aligned in terms of approach and solutions.
    Implications: On-site inspections are likely to continue to be the norm and the preferred standard for the foreseeable future. However, health authorities will need to further adopt a risk-based inspection approach and stimulate the increased uptake of inspection reliance as proposed by the Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention and Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme not to overwhelm the pharmaceutical companies with repeat and redundant inspections. Remote inspections have proven to be a new inspection tool, but health authorities should align on their approach to remote inspections in terms of methods applied and documentation requested.

    Abstract Patient information leaflets (PILs) differ across regulatory jurisdictions-its form and structure are dependent on the regulations it conforms to. Yet, physical or paper-based documents remain to be the most prevalent way of delivering important information to patients. As technology continues to enhance our daily activities, patients are increasingly utilizing digital platforms to facilitate access to relevant product information, hence questioning the continuous viability of physical PILs. This paper aims to present the growing importance of transitioning from print to screen via dynamic electronic product information, as a way of expanding access and utility of patient information. It provides considerations or reflection points for regulators when adopting digital platforms to ensure that stakeholders, especially patients, receive trusted and real-time information on available and approved medicinal products. We underscore these with examples and case studies from countries and businesses that have adopted or are transitioning to such platforms.

    Abstract Purpose: Patients taking a medicinal product in a homecare setting typically use a medical device to facilitate the injection process. Reductions in wireless connectivity costs, combined with the rapid adoption of smartphones with connectivity to cloud-based services, are enabling these drug delivery devices to now be connected to a digital ecosystem as connected combined products (CCPs). The purposes of this article are to identify the challenges in developing and releasing these products when they straddle different regulatory frameworks and standards and to highlight gaps in the European Union regulations.
    Methods: Industry subject matter experts from pharmaceutical, medical device, and consultancy companies, who are members of the Medtech & Pharma Platform Association, formed 4 working groups to address current best practice for developing and releasing CCPs and the different relevant regulatory frameworks. The 4 areas studied were clinical and regulatory, usability and human factors engineering, development and life cycle management, and cybersecurity.
    Findings: Development teams require new skills to create innovative products that have a good safety profile and are simple to use, such as design thinking to understand user needs and systems engineering to manage complexity and ensure interoperability. Risk management process should integrate cybersecurity, data privacy, and data integrity, whereas design control processes should enable asynchronous development cycles for hardware and software components. Regulatory frameworks exist for individual components within the CCP. However, for a complex product, regulatory guidance is needed when combining components with different risk and safety profiles and to ensure that the responsibilities and liabilities of companies contributing components are clear. The efficient management of software changes and product updates, as well as dealing with end-of-life hardware and backward compatibility to older software versions, needs agile approaches when it comes to regulatory updates.
    Implications: The regulatory uncertainties and development processes outlined in this article need to be addressed. We call for joint discussions among the various stakeholders in the fields of medicinal products, medical devices, and in vitro diagnostics, as well as standalone software, data protection, and cybersecurity experts, together with regulators and lawmakers in the European Union to meet in focused discussion groups with the aim of devising pragmatic solutions and regulations for the benefit of the sector and hence the patients it serves.

    Abstract The European Union's Pediatric Regulation has strengthened the development of medicines for children in Europe through its system of obligations and rewards. However, opportunities remain to further optimize pediatric medicine developments, notably in relation to the implementation of the regulatory framework. This paper therefore describes bottlenecks identified by industry that occur during the medicinal development process, including those relating to the scientific advice process, pediatric investigation plan (PIP) development, compliance checks, and study submissions, and offers some considerations and insights to address these. Considerations, which are workable within the current legislative framework, focus on an integrated scientific discussion, optimization of PIP procedures and compliance checks, and an alignment of study-reporting requirements.

    Abstract Purpose: Crucial steps have been adopted by health and regulatory authorities around the world to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. This review aims to highlight these steps by providing an overview of the regulatory approaches adopted during the onset of the pandemic, provide an assessment of observed trends, and offer some reflections and proposals to leverage learnings and opportunities from this current pandemic.
    Methods: Documents and informational materials on regulating the development and management of medical products during the COVID-19 pandemic were collected and classified. These materials were sourced from official websites and press releases from health authorities and international bodies from selected markets across the globe, and covered the period between January and July 2020. Additional information to support this study was gathered through a literature review and analysis of related data available from the public domain, and was complemented with the authors' personal experience.
    Findings: Communication has been vital in addressing the impact of COVID-19. A total of 1705 documents and informational materials related to health or regulatory response to the COVID-19 pandemic were gathered. Of these, 343 (around 20%) were identified as regulatory agilities. These agile approaches were classified into 3 categories, namely, where health and regulatory authorities had: (1) facilitated product management across the entire lifecycle, notably in expediting medical product use for COVID-19, ensuring the continuity of clinical trials, and addressing supply chain issues; (2) strengthened international cooperation; and (3) addressed regulatory burden with the adoption of electronic and digital tools.
    Implications: While many regulatory measures have been introduced temporarily as a response to the COVID-19 crisis, there are opportunities for leveraging an understanding from these approaches in order to collectively achieve more efficient regulatory systems and to mitigate and address the impact of COVID-19 and further future-proof the regulatory environment.

    Abstract Purpose: European policy makers have provided a number of incentives for the development of medicines for orphan diseases as early as 1999 through the Orphan Regulation and created obligations for medicines developers to investigate their products in children through the Paediatric Regulation adopted in 2006. This article describes the challenges that developers of orphan medicines are facing with pediatric indications, discusses the interplay between the Orphan Regulation and the Paediatric Regulation, and provides some recommendations on how to optimize drug development under the current European Union regulatory framework.
    Methods: This article discusses the European Union's Orphan Regulation, Paediatric Regulation, and the implications of the intersection of the regulations on the development of orphan medicines for pediatric use.
    Findings: Although these regulations have been successful in meeting their objectives separately, different regulatory frameworks entail separate governance, multiple assessments, varying approaches and priorities to unmet medical needs, and joined-up regulatory process coordination. Better integration of regulatory pathways would therefore be helpful in stimulating more global drug development of pediatric orphan medicines, including optimizing the interaction between both regulations, using innovative drug development approaches while considering alternatives to randomized clinical trials, better identification and prioritization of unmet medical needs in pediatrics, and ensuring the alignment of regulatory processes.
    Implications: Rare diseases are categorized as "orphan diseases" because their occurrence in a small number of patients means that, regardless of the apparent high unmet medical need, there is limited public and market interest to justify the high development risk and significant investment to develop new treatments. However, unexplored potential within the area, as well as a conducive regulatory environment, can further support the development of medicines to treat rare diseases, including for children.
