The 4th ICH Forum: ICH Efficacy Guideline Update
November 1, 2022
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency
Introduction
This timely forum aims for a better understanding about the updates of efficacy guidelines regarding clinical trial. In this forum, experts who are working on the E8(R1), E6(R3) and E19 guidelines will present the overviews as well as a panel discussion.We will also hold a panel discussion about the future work of ICH.
The International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) decided to revise the ICH E8 guideline and the ICH E6 guideline as a part of the council’s “GCP Renovation” which was adopted in 2017.
The E8 guideline has reached Step4 in October 2021. The E6 guideline is under consideration in the Working Group since November 2019 and is expected to reach Step1 in November 2022. The ICH E19 guideline was decided to develop in 2016 and has reached Step4 in September 2022.
We hope that this forum will promote understanding of the ICH guidelines and proper use by sharing the latest status of each guideline with the participants.
