Regulatory Reliance

Meaning

Regulatory Reliance is a clinical and governmental principle adopted by national drug and medical device authorities where they formally accept and utilize the assessment findings and inspection reports of a recognized, trusted regulatory body. This practice is primarily employed to accelerate the review and approval time for innovative health products, especially in emerging markets, without compromising the core standards of safety and efficacy. It serves as a crucial mechanism for expediting patient access to global pharmaceutical innovations.
