In addition to routine agenda, the Board discussed various other matters and following
decsions were also taken:
Registration Board was apprised that Pharmaceutical Evaluation & Registration division
has prepared a list of registration applications in order of date of submission and has
placed on DRAP,s website. Registration Board endorsed that these applications will be
considered on principal of FIFO (First In first Out). However, registration applications
for for new drug molecule / dosage form / strength / combination will also be considered
separately on same principal of FIFO as a separate category. It was brought to the notice
of the Board that generic products of some molecules have been considered by the Board
for new licensees but brand leader ,s products are still not scrutinized. The Board advised
PEC to evaluate such registration applications of brand leaders on priority.
The Board decided that if an imported drug is not on free sale in its respective country of
origin / manufacture, such product will be registered in Pakistan if the product
manufactured in the applied facility is approved by any of the regulatory authorities from
USFDA, EMA, Australian TGA or PMDA Japan.
Registration Board advised Pharmaceutical Evaluation Cell to scrutinize all new drug
molecule / dosage form / strength / combination in light of decision already taken in 240th

Item No I: Confirmation of minutes 243rd meeting Registration Board.
243rd meeting of Registration Board was held on 08-09th May, 2014 and minutes were
circulated to all members through e-mail. Two members forwarded their comments, as follows:
a. The matter regarding biological products of the inspected firms have been discussed in
length and the entire board is of the opinion to first safe guard the health of our patients and then
encourages our pharmaceutical industry for the transfer of biological technology to manufacture
safe and quality biological products for the country. However nobody is allowed to use the lives
of our country man for experimental basis, therefore all the biological drugs manufactured in the
country should be safe and effective to treat the ailment of our people. As all we know that
scientifically we have capable and well equipped pharmaceutical companies in the country which
are in a position to carry out manufacture of safe and quality biological products in the country.
b. The draft minutes of 243rd DRB to my understanding is to submit CoPP/GMP and bio
comparable data and I also understand that bio-comparability refers to in-vitro-comparison
which is acceptable. But it is beyond my understanding that why it is written that the 242 nd DRB
decision is upheld and it needs clarification because the decision of 242 ndminutes in biological
products was not approved by majority of the board members. Therefore, changes should be
made and decision of 243rd RB should supersede the decision made in 242 ndRB for biological
products.
Please remove the decision made in 242ndRegistration Board meeting for biological as it
was quarantined, uphold only decision made in 243 rdRegistration Board meeting. Decision made
for biological products only those raw material should be imported and used that are also in use
for the manufacture of finished drug in the country of origin should be suspended, since there
are number of products which are developed by companies for export purposes only and they are
marketing these products internationally. Similarly we have given privilege to manufacture in
Pakistan that for meeting export requirements of a local manufacturer or a foreign
pharmaceutical company, drug can be contract manufactured but such drugs shall not be sold in
Pakistan.
Decision: Registration Board was apprised that above points are part of agenda of
instant meeting and will be discussed under biological drugs. Minutes of 243 rd meeting
were confirmed by the Board.

Decision: -
1 Due to flood of unregistered vitamin products in the market under the garb of nutritional or
food supplements, there is a need for a definite policy regarding registration of vitamins or
vitamin with minerals
2 All the preparations would be classified as drugs. They should require registration under
Drugs Act 1976 by Ministry of Health
16
(a) Vitamin supplements: Preparations containing vitamins and minerals upto the level of
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)
(b) Therapeutic vitamins and minerals: Preparations containing vitamins and minerals in
quantities above the RDA quantities intended for therapeutic use will be deemed as
therapeutic class.
4 The Board decided that the pharmaceutical companies which dont have Atomic
Absorption equipment for the analysis of minerals + vitamins combination products will be
granted registration of such products subject to analysis of minerals + vitamins from any
PNAC Accredited Laboratory. This permission will be valid for two years and during this
time firm will be bond to have this facility in its own pharmaceutical unit.
Moreover, all the Government (Provincial and Federal) drugs testing laboratories will equip
themselves for testing of these preparations. For this purpose Research and Development
Section will put proposal for strengthening of these Laboratories. The section will propose a
mechanism for outsourcing of testing / analysis of vitamins and minerals. R& D and QA
wings will also be consulted.
5 The registration of vitamin and mineral preparations are subject to price fixation by the
Price Advisory Committee.
6 Import of vitamin and mineral preparations will be allowed as per Import Policy for Drugs
of Ministry of Health.
7 The minimum level of each vitamin and / or mineral contained in a vitamin and mineral
supplement per daily portion of consumption as suggested by the manufacturer should be
atleast 15% of the recommended daily intake.

the desired result. Such preparations need to have a clear warning for patients on warfarin.
10 Only vitamins and minerals listed in annex I, in the forms listed in annex II may be used for
the manufacture of vitamin supplements. The units to be used for vitamins and minerals
shall be those specified in annex I
11 Vitamin supplements would be purely meant for nutritional purpose and no claims will be
made about prevention, cure, diagnosis, mitigation or treatment of diseases
12 Vitamin supplement manufacturers may claim that their products benefit, the structure and
function of the human body or promote General well-being.
13 The CBR/customs will be informed that all imported vitamin supplement therapeutic
17

Decision: Registration Board considered new drug application of Sofosbuvir Tablet which is the
new therapy approved by US FDA for treatment of Hepatitis C infection in December, 2013. Dr.
Huma Qureshi, Executive Director, Pakistan Medical Research Council and Secretary Technical
Advisory Group (TAG) on Viral Hepatitis also attended the meeting on special invitation of the
Board. She informed Registration Board that in Pakistan prevalence of Hepatitis C is 5% which
is 2nd highest in the world after Egypt. TAG on viral hepatitis in its meeting recently discussed
the new therapy and it was strongly recommended that this new treatment be made available to
Hepatitis C patients on urgent basis in the country. Keeping in view recommendations of TAG,
Registration Board unanimously agreed that Sofosbuvir tablet should be registered on priority
basis if other regulatory requirements are met. Accordingly, the Board considered the evaluation
reports of registration dossiers, replies of applicants and decided as follows:
Sovaldi Tablet 400 mg, Manufactured by M/s Patheon Inc., 2100 Syntex Court,
Mississauga, Ontario, L5N 7K9, Canada imported by M/s Ferozsons Laboratories Limited
P.O. Ferozsons Amangarh- Nowshera. Pakistan
A consolidated CoPP verifying manufacturing, packaging and release sites from EMA
(European Medicines Agency) for white coloured Tablets with Free Sale / Marketing status in
EMA. In case, white coloured tablets are not freely available in country of origin, the comparable
quality will be assessed from process validation and stability studies.
92
In addition to individual dossier deficiencies, every manufacturer will provide additional data as
decided by Registration Board in 240 th meeting for new drug molecule. Meanwhile, honorable
Lahore High Court, Lahore shall be informed of decision of Registration Board regarding
applications of M/s Everest Pharma, Islamabad.

Past Decision in 242nd Meeting: The Board relied upon the inspection report of the license panel that had
confirmed the presence of the technology and expertise along with GMP compliance of the facility for the
above mentioned product and allowed the registration. It was also noted that this firm had no other
products except the ones mentioned above for manufacture in the newly licensed facility.
Two honourable members of the Registration Board has forwarded their comments which are as under: -
232
a. The matter regarding biological products of the inspected firms have been discussed in length and
the entire board is of the opinion to first safe guard the health of our patients and then encourages
our pharmaceutical industry for the transfer of biological technology to manufacture safe and
quality biological products for the country. However nobody is allowed to use the lives of our
country man for experimental basis, therefore all the biological drugs manufactured in the country
should be safe and effective to treat the ailment of our people. As all we know that scientifically
we have capable and well equipped pharmaceutical companies in the country which are in a
position to carry out manufacture of safe and quality biological products in the country.
b. The Draft minutes of 243 DRB to my understanding is to submit COPP/GMP and bio comparable
data and I also understand that bio-comparability refers to in-vitro-comparison which is
acceptable. But it is beyond my understanding that why it is written that the 242 nd DRB decision
is upheld and it needs clarification because the decision of 242nd minutes in biological products
was not approved by majority of the board members. Therefore, changes should be made and
decision of 243RB should supersede the decision made in 242 nd RB for biological products.
c. Please remove the decision made in 242nd Registration Board meeting for biological as it was
quarantined, uphold only decision made in 243rd Registration Board meeting. Decision made for
biological products only those raw material should be imported and used that are also in use for
the manufacture of finished drug in the country of origin should be suspended, since there are
number of products which are developed by companies for export purpose only and they are
marketing these products internationally. Similarly we have given privilege to manufacturer in
Pakistan that for meeting export requirements of a local manufacturer or a foreign pharmaceutical
company, drug can be contract manufactured but such drugs shall not be sold in Pakistan.
Considering the sensitivity of the matter the cases is placed before the Registration Board for
scientific discussion, consensus and precise decision so that the above mentioned applications for
registration are dealt accordingly.
Decision: Registration Board discussed above cases 1-4 and decided as under:
b) All those manufacturing units which have been approved by Central Licensing Board for
manufacturing of biological drug and also had qualified product specific inspection by
panel of Registration Board, are allowed registrations of applied biological drugs for local
manufacturing on case to case basis. Items for which product specific inspection is required,
then it will be conducted by already constituted panel of Registration Board.
233
c) Local manufacturer will provide legalized documents from concerned regulatory body
confirming the status of licensed manufacturer of concentrate / bulk source in its country of
origin. Moreover manufacturer will provide legalized documents for confirmation that
finished product is also available in market from the same biological material. Case will be
processed for issuance of registration letter and the Board authorized its Chairman for
permission to issue registration letter after fulfillment of above mentioned requirements,
with following conditions:
ii. Manufacturer will submit actual result of conducted biosimilarity studies to the
Biological Division for its scientific evaluation through Expert Committee on
Biological Drugs (ECBD). Moreover manufacturer will also provide sufficient
quantity of these trial manufactured drugs to Biological Division for testing by
National Control Laboratory for Biological (NCLB) as per WHO guidelines.
d) This decision supersedes all the already taken decisions so far in the earlier meetings of
Registration Board on the subject cases.
Case No.05
M/s Amson Vaccine and Pharma, Rawalpindi applied for issuance of Registration letter
for their product namely DTwp-rHepB-Hib pentavalent vaccine approved in 240th Meeting of the
Registration Board without mentioning the price for EPI/Government supply only.
Perusal of minutes of 240th Meeting of DRB, the following anomalies are observed.
i) The volume of injection of single dose is 1 ml at one place (Column-iii, Annex-I) and
01(one) ml and 0.5ml in Column-iv, whereas in CoPP and Form-5 the volume is 0.5ml
for each dose.
ii) As per CoPP provided the product is shown in the Column where the product is in the
market of India, and on Form 5-A, it is written that the product is yet to be marketed (The
firm has clarified that the product is on market in India).
The case is presented before the Drug Registration Board for approval of changes in composition
and issuance of registration letter.
Decision: Typographic correction approved as per COPP and legal documents of the dossier.
234
Case No.06
M/s Novo Nardisk has applied for the change of source of their registered product namely
Insulatard Penfill 100iu/ml 5x3ml (Registration No.010341). The decision of the Registration Board in
its 242nd meeting is as follows: -
Past Decision: The Board approved the new EMA approved site mentioned above for import of the
above mentioned products subject to COPP from new site.
Accordingly the change of source letter was issued to the firm on 7 th April, 2014 clearly mentioning that
the previous source of import stands cancelled. The Assistant Drugs Controller, Karachi has informed that
M/s Novo Nordisk, Karachi has imported Insulatard Penfil 100IU/M (Reg NO. 010341) from Denmark
on 20th May, 2014 which is the earlier source of import. The ADC, Karachi was requested to submit
complete case along with his recommendations. The ADC Karachi has stated that he is of the opinion to
revoke the orders of sales restrictions as the safety, quality and economic value of drug in question. The
officer has also stated that sale of the drug may be allowed in the public interest so required.
It is submitted that the source of import was cancelled by the Drug Registration Board vide letter No. 2-
1/2014-DDC (BD)(M-242), dated 7th April, 2014. Under section 23 subsection 1(a) (vii) no person shall
himself or by any other person on his behalf export, import or manufacture for sale or sell any drug
which is not registered or is not in accordance with the conditions of registration. The firm has violated
the Drugs Act, 1976.
Decision: Registration Board approved request of the firm. However the Board advised firm to
provide / submit copy of L/C (original or duly certified) for establishing the fact that the import
order was placed well before the date of grant of change of manufacture site by DRAP and
authorized its Chairman for permission to issue the letter for sale of drug.
235
Case No. 07 M/s Macter International (Pvt) Ltd., Karachi - Case of import of Interferon
from Cuba instead of China:
The firm was originally given registration of Heberon Alfa R 2-b Registration No.
047675 manufactured by M/s Heber Biotec, Havana, Cuba, latter on the firm requested the
changed of its source to M/s Changchun Heber Biological Technology Co., Ltd, China on
21.03.2011. Recently the firm has imported two lots of Interferon from Cuba instead of China
hence its lot release was stopped, the firm was directed to remove all stocks from market.
It is suggested that since the change of source or any other correction on the registration
letters are issued as separate letter it is almost impossible for NCLB to know what deviation
have been allowed. Therefore all such modifications are to be printed on the revised
Registration Letter with original information as well as revised information for complete record,
the original Registration Letter shall be considered cancelled however the original registration
number and the date of registration shall remain the same.
Case was reported for further guidance by the Board: i)in terms the penalty to the
firm, ii) the fate of the lots imported, and iii) the suggestion given above on how to handle the
modification in the registration letters for all firms to avoid confusion or benefit claimed by the
firms by fooling the import offices.
Decision: Registration Board decided that DDG(E&M), DRAP Karachi will investigate the
and will submit the report matter within 15 days for consideration of Registration Board.
The DDG (E&M), Karachi has submitted the investigation report vide letter dated 28 th March,
2014. The report is as under: -

5) National Control Laboratory for Biologicals (NCLB), DRAP, Islamabad issue the lot
release certificate (F.3-34/2007-NCL-2013/475). After receiving the lot release M/s
Macter International (Pvt) limited started marketing of this lot. NCLB issue a letter
No. F.3-34/2007-NCLB, dated 24.10.2013 to M/s. Macter International (Pvt) Ltd

balanced stock on Form I as per Drug Act 1976, section 18(i) & the rules made
there under at M/s Macter International (Pvt) Limited, in cold storage ware house

vials, manufactured by M/s Herber Biotec Havana, Cuba. The stock could not be
confiscated due to the technical reason as the product require cold storage
system/condition (2o to 8oC) which is not maintainable in the office of undersigned.
7) M/s. Macter International (Pvt) Limited also requested Chairman, Quality Control
Board via letter No.NIL to consider their case sympathetically and de-sealed and
allow them to market the stock.
Findings
During the course of investigation following questions/issues have been arose/assessed
by the undersigned, under WHO, ICH guidelines and the prevailing Drug Act and the rules
framed thereon: -
1. Whether any safety issue? No.
2. Whether any Efficacy issue? No.
3. Whether any Quality issue? No.
4. Whether any Price issue? No.
5. Whether Government Analyst can withdraw his batch release certificate? No.
6. Whether registration of the drug in question is valid or otherwise? Valid under
Rule 27 of the Drug (Registration, Licensing & Advertising Rules, 1976.
7. Whether the action of the Director (Biologicals for confiscation was lawful? No.
8. Whether the quality Assurance authorities name and address of marketing
authorization holder are same? Yes.
9. Whether till today any order are passed by the concerned section on renewal
application under the rule 26 and 27 of Drug( Registration, Licensing &
Advertising) Rules, 1976?No.
10. Whether the change of manufacturing site and source became a question mark
now? Yes.
237
After careful investigation of the case as per advice of registration board I hereby submit my
conclusion that M/s Changchun Heber Biological Technology Co., Ltd., China is the sister
concern of M/s Heber Biotech, S.a. La Havana, Cuba the basis approved site and the product
release authority of both the sources Cuba and Chinais same. Hence, there is no product Safety,
Quality, Efficacy and Economic value related issue found. As the lot was released by NCLB,
Islamabad also and the importer (M/s Macter International (Pvt) Limited applied for the renewal
of the said product on form 5-B of the rule 26 of the Drug renewal for registration on
18.07.2013 and also deposited the required fee under SRO 1117(I)/2012 which is pending with
RRR section, DRAP. Therefore there is no harm to allow them to market the aforesaid lot in
favour of the importer in public interest so required as protected under rule 27 of the Drugs (Lic.
Reg. and Adv.) Rules, 1976. Furthermore, it is noticed that other conditions as laid down in the
original registration certificate are also found enacted.
CONCLUSION: -
A) Keeping in view the foregoing fact the benefit of doubt to the Importer, who could now
only retain the original source as per certificate of registration and administrative order
vide letter NO.F.1-49/2011-Reg-I, dated 21st March, 2011 become automatically void,
after the implementation of rules 27 of the Drugs (Lic. Reg. and Adv.).
B) The action taken by Director (NCLB) DRAP vide his letter No.F. 3034/2007-NCLB may
be withdrawn and furthermore order made by the undersigned in concurrence with the
foregoing instruction may also made void by the honorable board as it became time
barred ultimately under the Drug Act, 1976 and DRAP Act, 2012.
C) Allow the importer to consume the remaining stock of aforesaid lot available in their
cold chain system, with the warning to refrain such practices in future.
D) The suggestions made by the then Director (Biologicals) may be further assessed by a
committee of the experts previously engaged in the registration issue; who can easily
make it easy for any amendment, correction, change or any other relevant update in
revised registration certificate issued time to time. Several changes, correction or
amendment made under administrative letters will become unlawful in the eyes of law.
The case along with investigation report is placed before the Drug Registration Board for considering
the legal aspects, provisions of section 23 1(a) (vii) of Drugs Acts, 1976 and rules frame thereunder and
decision please.
