Will allow for consistent submission of excipient information in all 3 regions to meet ICH CTD requirements and maintain confidentiality
Accelerate overall review process
Utilize DMF references by FDA when assessing generic applications for acceptance
7. Types of Information Typically Needed List of Excipient Components (chemical/compendial names including viscosity and MW information)
Quantitative percentages for each component
Grade (USP/NF, PhEur, JP/JPE, CFR, FCC, EC Directive, etc.)
Evidence of Prior use in Oral Applications at similar levels (especially US Generics, Japan)
