Loopholes in Schedule Y New drug remains new for 4 years. Thus, Phase IV trials require permission. However, Approved drug and indication need not require permission. Approval of Amendment could be a problem. SOPs for investigators and documentation of tasks – Template required. Unmet medical needs to be added to CT waiver.

Loopholes in schedule Y EC chairman outside institute is a rarity. Exhaustive species data (App.I-A)and comparative evaluation (App. I) not helpful for differentiation. All CT supplies to be included in Form 11. Requirement to support data protection

Unattended Areas Regulations for : 1. Biologics : vaccines Blood products Tissue Cellular/gene therapy 6. Herbals 7. Medical devices 8. Pharmacovigilance 9. Electronic records
