The approval process for unregistered medicinal products under Early Access Program (EAP) in Cambodia is as follows:
The applicant must submit a request for EAP to the Drug Regulatory Authority of Cambodia (RAC).
The RAC will review the request and determine if the product meets the criteria for EAP.
If the product meets the criteria, the RAC will issue a letter of no objection (LONO).
The applicant must then submit a comprehensive patient information sheet (PIS) and a risk management plan (RMP) to the RAC.
The RAC will review the PIS and RMP and determine if they are adequate.
If the PIS and RMP are adequate, the RAC will issue an EAP approval.
The EAP approval will allow the applicant to import and distribute the unregistered medicinal product in Cambodia. The product will be available to patients who have a serious or life-threatening condition and who have exhausted all other treatment options.
The following are the criteria for EAP in Cambodia:
The product must be a new medicinal product that is not yet registered in Cambodia.
The product must be intended to treat a serious or life-threatening condition.
There must be no other available treatment options for the condition.
The product must have a favorable risk-benefit profile.
The applicant must provide adequate information about the product, including the PIS and RMP.
The EAP approval process in Cambodia is relatively straightforward. The RAC will review the request and supporting documentation within 30 days. If the product meets the criteria, the RAC will issue an EAP approval.
The EAP approval is valid for one year. The applicant can apply for a renewal of the approval if the product is still being used to treat patients in Cambodia.
