CHMP

Meaning

CHMP is the widely recognized acronym for the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, which serves as the principal scientific committee of the European Medicines Agency (EMA). This body plays a critical and centralized role in the European Union’s regulatory process for pharmaceutical products intended for human use. Its primary function is to conduct a rigorous, comprehensive assessment of all centralized marketing authorization applications for new medicines, including hormonal therapies and biologics. The committee’s scientific opinion is an essential prerequisite for a medicine to be approved and marketed across the European Union.
