The session will bring together regulators from different parts of the world, EMA and industry experts will reflect on the current implementation status of reliance pathways. While it is broadly acknowledged that reliance is at the core of a more efficient use of global resources, there are still many challenges?delaying or preventing its broader use. Based on recent data collected by CIRS, concrete example and?surveys from industry we will discuss ?ongoing efforts to bring reliance into action and present different reliance tools currently used by regulators from different jurisdictions with the goal to streamline approvals and ultimately access to patients.? At the same time we will address other critical topics like product sameness and diverging country specific requirements which are crucial when applying reliance and moving towards one global regulatory standard.

Learning Objective : • Discuss how collaborative models are implemented into regulatory frameworks for the registration of medicines, including best practices • Review global trends, challenges and opportunities in ensuring efficient, effective and sustainable systems in as well as regulatory convergence • Consider lessons learned from the pandemic and what should remain to enable global availability of medicines
