Canada amends market authorization for 'extraordinary use new drugs'

13 July 2011

The government of Canada has introduced amendments to the Food and Drug Regulations and the Patented Medicines (Notice of Compliance) Regulations which provide an application process for the market authorisation and protection of “extraordinary use new drugs (EUNDs). These amendments, which took effect on March 25, are explained by law firm Norton Rose in a posting on the web site of the International Law Office.
