WHO/IAEA investigational radiopharmaceutical GMP draft guidance
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have released a draft guideline on GMP for investigational radiopharmaceuticals, due to the rapidly expanding use of radiopharmaceuticals to diagnose and treat cancers and other diseases. The draft guidance sets out the minimum GMP standards for Phase 1-3 clinical investigations of novel radiopharmaceuticals that are not yet authorized or approved. The draft guidance is open for public consultation until the end of April 2021, and a revised document is expected to be worked up for public consultation by July 2021.
