Introduction 介绍
This guidance is intended for manufacturers of drug substances for prescription medicines, and sponsors of prescription medicines sourcing drug substances from a third party manufacturer.
本指南针对的是采用第三方生产商提供的原料药生产处方药品的申请人,以及处方药原料药生产商。
11.1 Drug Master Files and certificates of suitability DMF和CEP
11.1.1 For drug substance sourced from a third party manufacturer 第三方生产商来源原料药
There are two mechanisms by which a sponsor can provide information about a drug substance sourced from a third-party manufacturer:
如果申报人采用第三方生产商提供的原料药,可以有两种方式进行申报:
l a DMF or
l 使用DMF,或
l a CEP issued by the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM).
l 使用由EDQM签发的CEP
11.1.2 For ingredients of animal or human origin人或动物来源成分

Related information and guidance 相关资料和指南 l Therapeutic goods that contain or are produced from human blood or plasma l 含有人血或血浆或由人血或血浆制成的治疗产品 l Adventitious agent safety of medicines l 药品的外源性试剂安全性 |
11.2 What substances require a Drug Master File 什么样的物质需要提交DMF
A DMF is required for all drug substances that are sourced from a third-party manufacturer, except for the following substances:
除以下物质外,所有源自第三方生产商的原料药均需要DMF,
l common inorganic salts that are used and regarded as drug substances in products such as:
l 在药品中用作原料药的常规无机盐
— injections
— 注射剂
— dialysis solutions (e.g. sodium chloride and other common electrolytes)
— 透析液(例如,氯化钠和其它常见电解液)
l simple organic compounds that are commercially available in high purity e.g. naturally occurring organic acids and their salts, including:

Note 注 l Any nonpharmacopoeial specifications need to be assessed by the TGA to determine their appropriateness and adequacy to ensure the quality of the substance. l 任何非药典质量标准均需要由TGA评估后确定是否恰当,是否能充分保证物质的质量 l The evaluation of an application will not commence until the TGA receives the DMF. l 在收到DMF之前,TGA不会对申报资料做出评估, l Mention the specific version number of the DMF in the application l 在申报中要指出特定的DMF版本号 |
For a drug substance and drug product manufactured by the same company, include information on the production, quality control and stability of the drug substance as either:
如果同一公司生产药用物质和制剂,可以将药用物质的生产、质量控制和稳定性资料包括以下述任一方式提交:
l part of the application for the drug product, or
l 制剂申报资料的一部分,或
l in a separate DMF.
l 在单独的DMF中
11.2.1 Acceptable format for Drug Master Files 可接受的DMF方式

The preferred format for DMF is the European Common Technical Document (CTD) format or the European format. However if the manufacturer has not used either of these formats, the TGA will accept a drug master file in the United States format.
推荐的DMF格式是欧洲CTD格式,或欧洲格式。但是,如果生产商未使用上述两种格式,TGA接受美国格式的DMF。
