Before a company runs its phase 3 cancer trial, FDA, EMA, MHRA, PMDA, Health Canada and TGA would agree the endpoints, comparator, population and statistical plan in one joint written advice letter, so a single trial can support approval everywhere. Today parallel advice is used for a handful of products a year.
FDA-EMA parallel scientific advice exists but is used for a handful of products a year. The proposal is to make a joint written advice procedure covering endpoints, comparator, population and statistical plan the default for phase 3 oncology programmes, with PMDA, MHRA, Health Canada and TGA as standing participants. Advice would be recorded as a single agreed letter identifying any residual divergence, and divergence would be published in aggregate.
