1 Global Fund, GDF and UNITAID Invitation to manufacturers of anti-retroviral, anti-tuberculosis and anti-malarial medicines to submit an Expression of Interest (EoI) for product evaluation by Expert Review Panel (ERP) Round 15-March 2016 Scope of the EoI: Anti-Retroviral (HIV/AIDs, Hepatitis B and C), anti-tuberculosis and anti- Malarial products Date of this EoI: Closing date for Receipt of dossiers: EoI Reference No: GF/ERP/Round 15/ Background Summary of Global Fund Quality Assurance Policy The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria fund grants to support national and global efforts to increase access, care and treatment in approximately 140 countries. The Global Fund Quality Assurance Policy for Pharmaceutical Products ( QA Policy 1 ) defines uniform and stringent quality requirements applicable to antiretrovirals, antituberculosis, and antimalarial pharmaceutical products purchased with Global Fund resources. In principle, these pharmaceutical products can be funded using Global Fund resources if they are in compliance with national regulatory standards as applicable and if: - prequalified by the WHO Prequalification Programme; and/or - authorized for marketing in a country with a stringent regulatory authority (SRA) 2 (registration "for export only" is not sufficient) or approved/subject to a positive opinion under one of the following schemes: Canada S.C. 2004, c. 23 (Bill C-9) procedures, or Art. 58 of European Union Regulation (EC9 No. 726/2004) or US- FDA tentative approval; or - products of which the dossiers were reviewed and permitted for use for a time limited period by an independent panel of technical experts (ERP-Expert Review Panel). Information about the ERP mechanism and process for procurement of ERP-reviewed products is available at: In order to assist the Global Fund recipients to identify the regulatory status of the antiretrovirals, the Global Fund has developed a list of products classified according to the above QA requirements. Current list can be downloaded from:

2 Summary of Global Drug Facility (GDF) Quality Assurance Policy In July 2010, GDF revised its Quality Assurance Policy and Procedures as part of a collaborative process to ensure harmonization with the policies of major multi-lateral financing mechanisms i.e. the Global Fund and other organizations (i.e. the Union; UNICEF, Médecins Sans Frontières) involved in TB control and in particular to: - ensure global consistency on quality standards set for procurement and supply of anti-tb medicines as well as medical items, - avoid duplication of effort and optimum utilisation of resources. With the combined objectives to improve the safety, efficacy and quality of products procured by GDF, the GDF quality assurance system is based on: - recommendations by WHO / Stop TB Strategy; - authorization for use by recipient countries; - recommendations by the relevant WHO Programmes, that is, Prequalification of Medicines Programme (PQP); - authorization for marketing by a stringent national medicines regulatory authority (SRA) in the country; - positive opinion for procurement purposes by an Expert Review Panel, for a specified time period where there are few/no WHO-prequalified or SRA-approved products available; and - a quality monitoring programme for supplied products, including independent random quality control. Summary of UNITAID Quality Assurance Policy for Medicines procured under its grants UNITAID s mission is to contribute to enable scaling-up access to prevention, diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, primarily for people in low-income countries, by leveraging price reductions of quality products for prevention, diagnosis and treatment in the three disease areas and accelerating the pace at which these are made available. A key goal of UNITAID is to drive the development and uptake of new medicines that are better adapted to patients needs 3. All medicines procured under the UNITAID-funded Projects are required to be in compliance with UNITAID s Quality Assurance Policy which stipulates similar standards as described above and in the relevant sections of the Global Fund Quality Assurance policy. 2. Purpose The purpose of this Expression of Interest (EoI) is to invite submissions of product dossiers for review by the ERP for which there could be supply bottlenecks, including the cases where there are 3 or less products of the same formulation available in the global market that are already WHO prequalified or approved by a SRA. This EoI may include as well some formulations even when there are more than 3 eligible products in the market, in cases where it has been determined that such products are eligible for distribution to a restricted number of countries only, or when it has been identified that the available production capacity of the qualified products cannot cover the demand. Information provided by manufacturers, and information and advice provided by the ERP in connection with this EoI will be shared with, and used by, the Global Fund, GDF and UNITAID for taking decisions in procurement. 3 GF/ERP/Round 15/ /14

3 3. Product Formulations included in this EoI The recommended active ingredients, dosage forms and strengths ("Formulations") listed in this document are included in the current WHO Model List of Essential Medicines 4 and/or in the WHO standard treatment guidelines for treatment and prevention of the three diseases 5. Anti-retroviral formulations included in this EoI are listed in Annex A Anti-tuberculosis formulations included in this EoI are listed in Annex B Anti-malarial formulations included in this EoI are listed in the Annex C WHO recommends and endorses the use of medicines in fixed dose combinations (FDC). The Global Fund QA policy strongly recommends that principal recipients implement mechanisms to encourage adherence to treatment regimens (including but not limited to providing medicines in FDCs, once-a-day formulations and/or blister packs, and providing peer education and support), to monitor and contain resistance, and to monitor adverse drug reactions according to existing international guidelines 6. FDCs are considered as the preferred option when available. 4.
