Initiation of ICH
*Birth of ICH took place at a meeting in April 1990, hosted by the EFPIA in Brussels*Europe, Japan and the USA met*To plan an International Conference but the meeting also discussed the wider implications and terms of reference of ICH.*The ICH Steering Committee which was established at that meeting has since met at least twice a year, with the location rotating between the three regions.
![Page 8: ICH and GCP by Naveen](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110118/554b76bab4c90564168b54fe/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
*The Triggers
*1930s – Sulfanilamide tragedy Sulfonilamide+diethelene glycol
*1960s – Thalidomide tragedy
*1960s & 1970s*Rapid increase in laws, regulations &
guidelines
*Industry marketing – Global
*Basic evaluation – similar
*Detailed technical requirements – varied
![Page 9: ICH and GCP by Naveen](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110118/554b76bab4c90564168b54fe/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
* OBJECTIVE
-Elimination of unnecessary delay in global development-Make new medicines available while maintaining safeguards on -quality, safety, and efficacy, and regulatory obligations to - - protect public health-More economical use of human, animal and material resources
*Why harmonize?
Avoid duplication in tests to conform to different regulatory guidelines
*More effective utilization of results
*Timely access of patients to safe and effective new drugs
*Promote public health
*Minimize animal testing without compromising safety & effectiveness
![Page 10: ICH and GCP by Naveen](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110118/554b76bab4c90564168b54fe/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
*The Early Meetings
*Terms of Reference were agreed and it was decided that the Topics selected for harmonization would be divided into Safety, Quality and Efficacy to reflect the three criteria which are the basis for approving and authorizing new medicinal products
*It was also agreed that six-party Expert Working Groups (EWGs) should be set up to discuss scientific and technical aspects of each harmonization Topic

Expert Committee set up by Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) in consultation with clinical expert has formulated this GCP guideline
• Drug Technical Advisory Board (DTAB), the highest technical body under D&C, Act, has endorsed adoption of this GCP guideline for streamlining the clinical studies in India
• These guidelines have been evolved with consideration of WHO, ICH, USFDA and European GCP guidelines as well as the Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical research on Human Subjects issued by the Indian Council of Medical Research. 86
