I. General Provision 1. Certain changes to a pharmaceutical product have to be considered to fundamentally alter the basic nature of the drug product; therefore, can not be considered as minor variation. For such changes, an application for registration as a new product must be submitted. While evaluation such application, the Drug Control Department drug registration Unit shall also review whether the former registration should be withdrawn or not. Such changes include, Addition of one or more active substance(s) including antigenic components for vaccines. Deletion of one or more active substance(s) including antigenic components for vaccines. Quantitative change to the active substance(s) Replacement of the active substance(s) by a different salt/ester complex/derivative (with the same therapeutic moiety) Replacement of the active substance(s) by a different mixture of isomers (e.g. racemate by a single enantiomer) Replacement of a biological substance or product of biotechnology with one of a different molecular structure; modification of the rector used to produce the antigen/source material. Including a master cell bank from a different source. A new ligand or coupling mechanisms for a radiopharmaceutical. Change of bioavailability Change of Pharmacokinetics e.g. change in rate of release Change or addition of a new strength Change or addition of a new pharmaceutical dosage form Addition of a new route of administration (for parental administration, it is necessary to distinguish between the various routes like intra-arterial, IV IM SC etc). 3

Application for Minor Variations shall not be accepted if the product registration has expired. 3. The required documents must be submitted in the letter head of the company, except that required from the relevant authority. All declarations 4

should also be on letterhead of the company but can be signed by Regulatory Manager locally or centrally. 4. All the documents must be submitted in proper file with Index. Incomplete applications and loose documents will not be accepted 5. All applications for approval of Minor variations must be accompanied by a covering letter from the manufacturer or the Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH) explaining the proposed variations in the product with justification for the same. 6. The covering letter shall be addressed to the Directorate of drug Control Department. 7. 8. 9. Photocopies of the certificates of registration/ re-registration and renewal thereof, and minor variation(s) approved earlier must be attached with application. Applicant (Manufacturer/ or MAH) shall fill the application form for minor variation in print, and submit along with necessary documents and samples. Samples, whenever submitted to the Drug Control Department must be identical to the sale pack to be registered in the department and accompanied by the certificate of analysis. Alternatively, submit samples with the same formula, alternative labels and with artwork copies, samples with actual labeling can be submitted with first commercial supply. The will number of samples at least two unless, samples required for analysis be decided by QC. 10. The documents and samples for Quality Control Laboratory (e.g. Stability data, dissolution profile, release & End Shelf life specifications test methods, validation of test methods) if required, must be submitted separated file, with a copy of covering letter and the application form. 11. The applicant shall be given a copy of the receipt after the documents have been verified and received in Drug Control Department. 12. Payment of fee for all variation at the time of submission 13. The term Authenticated means attested by the regulatory authorities/ministry of Foreign Affairs, and finally by the UAE Embassy or an y GCC state or any other country catering the interest of the GCC states, in the country of origin. III. Glossary Regulatory Authorities: Health authorities or other similar statutory bodies regulating the health affairs in the country of origin Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH) in COO 5

The MAH is the person, or Principle Company, or manufacturer responsible for making the finished product available in the market for use to the public. Manufacture Site it is the plant or premises where all or part of operations involved in the Manufacturing of pharmaceutical product are carried according to good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Regulations. Certificate of pharmaceutical product (CPP) Must be as described in the criteria for registration of pharmaceutical product as per WHO format or equivalent organization. Certificate of GMP A documents issued by the regulatory authorities in the country of the manufacturing site, certifying that the manufacturing premises are confirming to the standards of the Good Manufacturing Practice stipulated by the WHO or the Regulatory Authorities in that country. Certificate of shelf life & Storage conditions A statement of the approved shelf life with storage conditions of the product. (Required if is not include in CPP) Certificate of Analysis A statement in original duly signed by the competent quality control personal and preferably stamped with the seal of the manufacturer, for the same batch of the sample submitted, specifying the following: Batch No., Manufacturing data, Expiry data, Result of analysis. Electronic certificates of analysis are also acceptable (no stamp, electronic signatures). Stability studies The capacity of a drug product to remain within established specifications to maintain its identity, strength, quality, and purity throughout the retest or expiration dating periods. The stability (long term & Accelerated) of the market formulations of the finished product (or formulations that may reasonably be expected to have the same stability) packaged as intended for marketing must have been tested in accordance with UAE guidelines. Bioequivalence Evidence of bioequivalence will usually be required for changes in products where bioavailability or clinical efficacy may be significantly altered as a result of the change. Evidence of bioequivalence with a reference product is the surrogate used, instead of clinical trial data, to demonstrate safety and efficacy. Oral dose forms are considered bioequivalent when 90% confidence intervals for the ratios of their geometric mean C max and AUC (from zero time to infinity for single doses or within a dosing interval at steady state) are within the range 0.8-1.25 (wider limits may be appropriate for C max in certain circumstances where this can be justified on clinical grounds), and any difference between their T max s is within clinically acceptable limits. The above range is the maximum permitted for medicines that present a known or theoretical bioequivalence problem requiring an in vivo bioequivalence study. It may be tightened for medicines that have: 6

a narrow therapeutic index known serious dose-related toxicity a steep dose/effect curve Non-linear pharmacokinetics within the therapeutic dosage range. Dissolution Profile Dissolution studies should possess suitable discriminatory power and be carried out at 37 C and physiologically meaningful phs. More than one batch of each formulation should be tested. Comparative Dissolution profiles, rather than single point Dissolution test data, should be generated. The design should include: Individually testing at least six dosage units (e.g. tablets, capsules) of each batch. Mean and individual results should be reported along with their standard deviations or standard errors. Measuring the percentage of nominal content released at a number of suitably spaced time points to provide a profile for each batch, e.g. at 10, 20 and 30 minutes or as appropriate to achieve virtually complete Dissolution Conducting the tests on each batch using the same apparatus and, if possible, on the same or consecutive days. Final specifications for routine Dissolution testing of the test product should be based on the data generated in this comparative study used to support equivalence of the test and reference products. Price certificate Document showing the following: - name, pharmaceutical dosage form and pack size of the product - the Ex-factory, wholesale and retail prices of the product in the country of origin - The proposed CIF price of the product to the GCC states 7
