terminology (MedDRA), the Common Technical Document (CTD) and the
development of Electronic Standards for the Transfer of Regulatory Information
(ESTRI). It includes total 15 sections.

of Regulatory Information and it was established by the ICH Steering Committee
in 1994 with the objective of facilitating international electronic communication
by evaluating and recommending, open and non-proprietary - to the extent possible
- Electronic Standards for the Transfer of Regulatory Information (ESTRI) that will
meet the requirements of the pharmaceutical companies and regulatory authorities.

Q. 11-What is objective of ICH?
Ans-ICH aims to achieve greater harmonisation worldwide for the
development and approval of safe, effective, and high-quality medicines in the

Q 12- What is viral shedding in gene therapy?
Viruses are the most commonly used vectors for clinical gene therapy. The risk of
dissemination of a viral vector into the environment via excreta from the
treated patient, a phenomenon called shedding, is a major safety concern for the
environment.

Q 13- Explain M10 BIOANALYTICAL METHOD VALIDATION.


Ans-This topic was endorsed by the ICH Management Committee in October
2016.
• This new multidisciplinary guideline will apply to the validation of
bioanalytical methods and study sample analyses in non-clinical and clinical
studies.
•  This guideline will provide recommendations on the scientific regulatory
requirements for bioanalysis conducted during the development of drugs of
both chemical and biological origins.
•  It will also address issues on method validation by considering the
characteristics of the analytical methods used in bioanalysis, e.g.,
chromatographic assay and ligand binding assay.

Q 14. Explain M9 Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS)-based


biowaivers Guideline.
Ans- This topic was endorsed by the ICH Assembly in October 2016. This
new multidisciplinary Guideline is proposed to address
Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS)-based biowaivers. 
• BCS-based biowaivers may be applicable to BCS Class I and III drugs,
however BCS-based biowaivers for these two classes are
not recognised worldwide. 
• This Guideline applies to the systems supporting the development
and manufacture of pharmaceutical drug substances and drug products,
including biotechnology and biological products.
• This Guideline will provide recommendations to support the
biopharmaceutics classification of medicinal products and will provide
recommendations to support the waiver of bioequivalence studies.
Q 15. What is M10 testing?
Ans- The International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements
for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) is in the process of revising M10, a
multidisciplinary guideline that governs bioanalytical method validation.
Drugs need to contain the correct concentrations of therapeutic products to be
effective and safe.
Q 16. What are the 3 types of drug interactions?
Ans- Drug-drug interaction: A reaction between two (or more) drugs.
• Drug-food interaction: A reaction between a drug and a food or beverage.
• Drug-condition interaction: A reaction that occurs when taking a drug while
having a certain medical condition.

Q 17. Explain ICH M13: Bioequivalence guidelines.


Ans- Supporting early-stage regulatory change-control, ie, changing the product
type during early clinical development.
• Supporting the use of blinding strategies in pivotal clinical studies, eg, the
use of over-encapsulated comparator products.
