CDSCO to launch online service for grant of NOCs for conducting clinical trials soon
The Central Drugs Standard Control
Organisation (CDSCO) may launch online
grant of NOCs for conducting clinical trials soon, under SUGAM, an
online solution for submission, application and grant of permission, in compliance
with Union health ministry's initiative of e-governance. The application can be
submitted and monitored online which will reduce the time of clearance.
In this regard, the CDSCO will also be
organising a hands-on workshop on 'Online process for Grant of NOC for Clinical
Trials' on August 24, 2016 at CDAC Noida and after receiving the feedback, the
date of launch will be decided, said an official from CDSCO.
He further said the process and document
required are the same and it will reduce the time required in submitting the
hard copy to the office. The applicant can submit all the required documents
and monitor the status of the application.
The CDSCO in pursuance of implementation of e
governance has launched various services for import of drugs, medical devices,
drugs for personal use, drugs for test & analysis and import of cosmetics
in first and second phases. Now in third phase, the online service for grant of
NOCs for conducting clinical trials will be launched.
The organisation has launched an online
portal for licensing the import of medical device from March, under SUGAM for
the import of drugs. The portal only provided benefit for the grant of registration
certificates for import of drugs or import license of drugs and the medical
device industry. Now the grant of NOC for conducting clinical trails can also
be availed.
Online application system provides an
opportunity for user to apply for the grant through online system. It also
provides an option to track the status of application online through an
application reference number provided by the system at the time of submitting
the application.
