Duration of the drug registration process in Russia:
- 160 business days or less, not including the time needed for answering questions from experts (90 business days).
- 80 business days (for orphan drugs, generics, and medicines specifically for children under the age of 18).
Please note that the actual registration period takes about 12 months, as the above timelines exclude periods for submitting samples and standards, and for responding to Minzdrav’s requests. Note that clinical test periods will be specific for each drug.
Dossiers required for drug registration in Russia are provided in the form of general technical documents similar to CTD.
Amendments to Federal Law 61 require that drug registration dossiers include Russia’s GMP Certificate (Good Manufacturing Practice, an international standard containing the production rules, standards and instructions). Drug manufacturers will need to obtain compliance certificates with the GMP rules issued by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.
These certificates are issued for each specific registration dossier for every form of the drug, so it is possible to file only one drug with different quantity, dosage and concentrations at a time.
Pharmacovigilance reports have to be filed with Roszdravnadzor once every six months within the first two years of drug registration in Russia. Eventually, it will be submitted once a year during the following three years and once every five years afterwards.
Drug registration in Russia requires the availability of the document list by document type, i.e. administrative, chemical, pharmaceutical, biological, pharmacological, toxicological and clinical types of documents (Clause 1 added on July 1, 2015 by Federal Law 429-FZ dated December 22, 2014).
The clinical risk and benefit analysis is an integral step of drug registration in Russia.
