The UK Drug Administration has announced innovative licensing avenues to speed up drug development

The UK's medicines and healthcare products regulator (MHRA) has issued guidelines on innovative licensing and access (ILAP) being established to speed time to market.
drug developers under this approach will receive more feedback from the MHRA and stakeholders, including the NATIONAL Institute for Health and Clinical Optimization in the UK.
Drug developers can use this pathway as long as they have non-clinical data on new chemical entities, biomedical, new adaptive disorders, or re-development and reuse molecules, although a candidate drug can enter the program if it is in a later stage of development.
MHRA encourages companies to apply early in early development to maximize benefits, but this route is "often not suitable" for drug candidates who are "nearing the end of development."
who want to use ILAP will first need to apply for an Innovation Passport, which costs ￡3624.
to apply for a voucher is that the candidate drug must be an innovative drug, such as an advanced therapeutic drug, for clinically significant new or specific populations, or in line with Public Health England's priorities.
team of product-specific experts will help define a Target Development Profile (TDP) based on product characteristics.
TDP defines key regulatory and development characteristics, identifies potential pitfalls, and creates a roadmap for early patient access.
all these purposes are to speed up patient access.
, UK regulators have created an application tool to support ILAP.
MHRA has established an adaptive inspection tool designed to support the overall ILAP and enable post-conversion regulation.
will enable and warrant regulatory inspections on a product-specific basis, including production, operation, pre-licensing or post-licensing checks (including real-world data) based on risk and licensing status.
will provide more assurance to patients and provide them with drugs faster that do not reduce safety standards.
adaptive inspection tools will provide targeted, flexible and pragmatic supervision and inspection of permits, which will use a risk-based inspection strategy.
tool will "conduct real-time preclinical or clinical examinations to ensure that the design and technology are fit for purpose and that appropriate production licenses are required by law."
" ILAP-supported tools also include innovative and flexible licensing pathways, including accelerated evaluations, rolling reviews, conditional approvals, conditional listing licenses, approval in exceptional circumstances, orbis programs, access alliances.
orbis program is a multi-country simultaneous approval program for cancer drugs initiated by the U.S. FDA that currently involves six regulators.
First Anniversary Summary of Multi-Country Approval of Cancer Drugs Orbis Program ACCESS Alliance is a collaborative initiative between medium-sized regulators such as the Australian Drug Administration (TGA), Health Canada (HC), the Singapore Health Sciences Authority (HAS), the Swiss Medicines Authority (SMC) and the MHRA of the United Kingdom to create synergies and share knowledge among regulators to improve the efficiency of regulatory systems.
Other supporting tools include certification, continuous benefit risk assessment in conjunction with real-world evidence (RWE), clinical practice data chain (CPRD) to assist patient recruitment, enhanced patient engagement, innovative methods and innovative clinical trial design, rapid clinical trial archival pre-assessment, and more.
MHRA will operate ILAP with the existing Early Access to Drugs (EAMS).
MHRA, ILAP is "wider and open to all innovative products."
" EAMS will continue to support early patient access to products that address unfinished medical needs and are nearing the end of development.
MHRA will release ilAP's application form on January 1.
