WHO PrequalificationBuilding quality-assured manufacturing capacity in Nigeria

As a fast growing economy and large provider of goods and services to countries in the region, Nigeria is poised to expand its pharmaceutical production to achieve self-sufficiency in essential medicines and compete on regional and global markets. To this end, government health authorities and local manufacturers requested WHO support and technical assistance to prequalify several locally produced medicines, as a way to fast-track the building of local capacity to manufacture medicines according to international quality standards. An integral part of the process is the strengthening of national regulatory capacity to enforce these standards on an ongoing basis.

The Nigerian questWhilenomedicinesmanufacturerinWestAfricahassofarachievedprequalificationofapharmaceuticalproductbytheWorldHealthOrganization(WHO),Nigeriaisattemptingtochangethestatusquo.AnumberofcompaniesbelongingtothePharmaceuticalManufacturersGroupoftheManufacturersAssociationofNigeria(PMG-MAN)areworkingtoreachamanufacturingqualitystandardthatwillenablethemtohavesomeoftheirproductsWHO-prequalifiedandapplyforinternational medicines tenders.

Nigeria accounts for approximately60%ofthepharmaceuticalproductionintheEconomicCommunityof West African States (ECOWAS) by volume(1).

Medicines quality assuranceAharmonizedself-assessmenttoolforprocurementagencies

In the absence of stringent regulatory systems for medicines in many parts of the world, procurement agencies have an important role in ensuring the quality of pharmaceutical products that they buy for use in treatment programmes. During the recent update of WHO’s quality assurance guidance for procurement agencies, a harmonized tool was developed enabling procurement agencies to assess their compliance with the principles of this guidance.

BackgroundTheWHOModelQualityAssuranceSystem for Procurement Agencies (MQAS) (1) is a WHO guidance document developedattherequestoftheGlobalFundtoFightAIDS,TuberculosisandMalariaandadoptedbytheWHOExpertCommitteeonSpecificationsforPharmaceuticalPreparationsin2006.Intheyearsthatfollowed,internationalorganizationsinvolvedinmedicinesprocurementincorporatedtheMQASrequirementsintotheirqualityassurancepoliciesandphasedinstringent,harmonizedqualitycriteriaforkeyproductcategories procured in large quantities andconsideredcrucialforthesuccessoftreatment programmes. Inintroducingharmonizedquality

requirements for priority medicines, an importantelementoftheMQASwasitsAppendix6,theinteragencyproductquestionnaire.Itwasadoptedasthe

common format for suppliers to submit dataforneededmedicinesthatwerenotyetavailableasstringentlyapprovedorWHO-prequalifiedproducts.

Beyond priority medicinesInAugust2011internationalorganizationscametogetheratameetingconvenedbyWHOandtheGlobalFundtodiscusswaystoassurethequalityofallessentialmedicinesbeingprocured,includingthosenotbelongingtothekeycategories.Itwasfoundthatforthesediverse

International Nonproprietary Names for Pharmaceutical Substances (INN)

Notice is hereby given that, in accordance with article 3 of the Procedure for the Selection of Recommended International Nonproprietary Names for Pharmaceutical Substances, the names given in the list on the following pages are under consideration by the World Health Organization as Proposed International Nonproprietary Names. The inclusion of a name in the lists of Proposed International Nonproprietary Names does not imply any recommendation of the use of the substance in medicine or pharmacy.

Lists of Proposed (1–109) and Recommended (1–70) International Nonproprietary Names can be found in Cumulative List No. 15, 2013 (available in CD-ROM only). The statements indicating action and use are based largely on information supplied by the manufacturer. This information is merely meant to provide an indication of the potential use of new substances at the time they are accorded Proposed International Nonproprietary Names. WHO is not in a position either to uphold these statements or to comment on the efficacy of the action claimed. Because of their provisional nature, these descriptors will neither be revised nor included in the Cumulative Lists of INNs.

Dénominations communes internationales des Substances pharmaceutiques (DCI) Il est notifié que, conformément aux dispositions de l'article 3 de la Procédure à suivre en vue du choix de Dénominations communes internationales recommandées pour les Substances pharmaceutiques les dénominations ci-dessous sont mises à l'étude par l'Organisation mondiale de la Santé en tant que dénominations communes internationales proposées. L'inclusion d'une dénomination dans les listes de DCI proposées n'implique aucune recommandation en vue de l'utilisation de la substance correspondante en médecine ou en pharmacie.

On trouvera d'autres listes de Dénominations communes internationales proposées (1–109) et recommandées (1–70) dans la Liste récapitulative No. 15, 2013 (disponible sur CD-ROM seulement). Les mentions indiquant les propriétés et les indications des substances sont fondées sur les renseignements communiqués par le fabricant. Elles ne visent qu'à donner une idée de l'utilisation potentielle des nouvelles substances au moment où elles sont l'objet de propositions de DCI. L'OMS n'est pas en mesure de confirmer ces déclarations ni de faire de commentaires sur l'efficacité du mode d'action ainsi décrit. En raison de leur caractère provisoire, ces informations ne figureront pas dans les listes récapitulatives de DCI.

Denominaciones Comunes Internacionales para las Sustancias Farmacéuticas (DCI) De conformidad con lo que dispone el párrafo 3 del "Procedimiento de Selección de Denominaciones Comunes Internacionales Recomendadas para las Sustancias Farmacéuticas", se comunica por el presente anuncio que las denominaciones detalladas en las páginas siguientes están sometidas a estudio por la Organización Mundial de La Salud como Denominaciones Comunes Internacionales Propuestas. La inclusión de una denominación en las listas de las DCI Propuestas no supone recomendación alguna en favor del empleo de la sustancia respectiva en medicina o en farmacia.

Las listas de Denominaciones Comunes Internacionales Propuestas (1–109) y Recomendadas (1–70) se encuentran reunidas en Cumulative List No. 15, 2013 (disponible sólo en CD-ROM). Las indicaciones sobre acción y uso que aparecen se basan principalmente en la información facilitada por los fabricantes. Esta información tiene por objeto dar una idea únicamente de las posibilidades de aplicación de las nuevas sustancias a las que se asigna una DCI Propuesta. La OMS no está facultada para respaldar esas indicaciones ni para formular comentarios sobre la eficacia de la acción que se atribuye al producto. Debido a su carácter provisional, esos datos descriptivos no deben incluirse en las listas recapitulativas de DCI.

axalimogenum filolisbacum # axalimogene filolisbac a live attenuated recombinant strain of Listeria

monocytogenes (Lm) bacterium bioengineered to secrete an antigen-adjuvant fusion (tLLO-E7) protein consisting of non-hemolytic listeriolysin O (truncated LLO, tLLO) fused to the human papilloma virus-16 (HPV-16) E7 protein, contained within the multi-copy plasmid pGG-55. The bacterial strain used, XFL-7, had been attenuated by excision of the essential transcription activator gene for virulence gene expression prfA (10403S ∆ prfA) and complemented with a mutated, less active prfA to maintain in vivo retention. In plasmid pGG-55, the Lm hly promoter drives the expression of fusion protein tLLO-E7, an approximately 67-kDa protein. The tLLO fragment of the fusion gene codes for the first 440 amino acids of full-length listeriolysin and is genetically fused to the E7 gene using the restriction site XhoI. The plasmid pGG55 is retained in XFL-7 in vivo due to the expression of the mutated PrfA protein. gene therapy product (antineoplastic)

Names for Radicals and Groups Some substances for which a proposed international nonproprietary name has been established may be used in the form of salts or esters. The radicals or groups involved may be of complex composition and it is then inconvenient to refer to them in a systematic chemical nomenclature. Consequently, shorter nonproprietary names for some radicals and groups have been devised or selected, and they are suggested for use with the proposed international nonproprietary names. Dénominations applicables aux radicaux et groupes Certaines substances pour lesquelles une dénomination commune internationale proposée a été établie sont parfois utilisées sous forme de sels ou d'esters. Les radicaux ou groupes correspondants sont alors quelques fois si complexes qu'il est malcommode de les désigner conformément à la nomenclature chimique systématique. Des denominations communes abrégées ont donc été formées ou choisies pour certains d'entre eux et il est suggéré de les employer avec les dénominations communes internationales proposées. Denominaciones para Radicales y Grupos Ciertas sustancias para las cuales hay establecidas una denominación común internacional pueden usarse en forma de sales o de ésteres. Los radicales o grupos correspondientes pueden llegar a tener una composición tan compleja que resulte incómodo referirse a ellos mediante la nomenclatura química sistemática. Las siguientes denominaciones comunes abreviadas han sido ideadas o elegidas para algunos de estos radicales y grupos y se sugiere que se empleen con las denominaciones comunes internacionales propuestas. dalanas

ANNEX 1

PROCEDURE FOR THE SELECTION OF RECOMMENDED INTERNATIONAL NONPROPRIETARY NAMES FOR PHARMACEUTICAL

SUBSTANCES1

The following procedure shall be followed by the World Health Organization (hereinafter also referred to as “WHO”) in the selection of recommended international nonproprietary names for pharmaceutical substances, in accordance with resolution WHA3.11 of the World Health Assembly, and in the substitution of such names. Article 1 - Proposals for recommended international nonproprietary names and proposals for substitution of such names shall be submitted to WHO on the form provided therefore. The consideration of such proposals shall be subject to the payment of an administrative fee designed only to cover the corresponding costs of the Secretariat of WHO (“the Secretariat”). The amount of this fee shall be determined by the Secretariat and may, from time to time, be adjusted. Article 2 - Such proposals shall be submitted by the Secretariat to the members of the Expert Advisory Panel on the International Pharmacopoeia and Pharmaceutical Preparations designated for this purpose, such designated members hereinafter referred to as “the INN Expert Group”, for consideration in accordance with the “General principles for guidance in devising International Nonproprietary Names for Pharmaceutical Substances”, annexed to this procedure2. The name used by the person discovering or first developing and marketing a pharmaceutical substance shall be accepted, unless there are compelling reasons to the contrary. Article 3 - Subsequent to the examination provided for in article 2, the Secretariat shall give notice that a proposed international nonproprietary name is being considered. a) Such notice shall be given by publication in WHO Drug Information3

and by letter to Member States and to national and regional pharmacopoeia commissions or other bodies designated by Member States.

i) Notice shall also be sent to the person who submitted the proposal (“the original applicant”) and other persons known to be concerned with a name under consideration.

b) Such notice shall:

i) set forth the name under consideration; ii) identify the person who submitted the proposal for naming the substance, if so requested by such person; iii) identify the substance for which a name is being considered; iv) set forth the time within which comments and objections will be received and the person and place to whom they should be directed; v) state the authority under which WHO is acting and refer to these rules of procedure.

1 See Annex 1 in WHO Technical Report Series, No. 581, 1975. The original text was adopted by the Executive Board in resolution

EB15.R7 and amended in resolutions EB43.R9 and EB115.R4.

2 See Annex 2.

3 Before 1987, lists of international nonproprietary names were published in the Chronicle of the World Health Organization.

c) In forwarding the notice, the Secretariat shall request that Member States take such steps as are necessary to prevent the acquisition of proprietary rights in the proposed name during the period it is under consideration by WHO.

Article 4 - Comments on the proposed name may be forwarded by any person to WHO within four months of the date of publication, under article 3, of the name in WHO Drug Information. Article 5 - A formal objection to a proposed name may be filed by any interested person within four months of the date of publication, under article 3, of the name in WHO Drug Information.

Such objection shall:

i) identify the person objecting;

ii) state his or her interest in the name; iii) set forth the reasons for his or her objection to the name proposed. Article 6 - Where there is a formal objection under article 5, WHO may either reconsider the proposed name or use its good offices to attempt to obtain withdrawal of the objection. Without prejudice to the consideration by WHO of a substitute name or names, a name shall not be selected by WHO as a recommended international nonproprietary name while there exists a formal objection thereto filed under article 5 which has not been withdrawn. Article 7 - Where no objection has been filed under article 5, or all objections previously filed have been withdrawn, the Secretariat shall give notice in accordance with subsection (a) of article 3 that the name has been selected by WHO as a recommended international nonproprietary name. Article 8 - In forwarding a recommended international nonproprietary name to Member States under article 7, the Secretariat shall: a) request that it be recognized as the nonproprietary name for the substance; and b) request that Member States take such steps as are necessary to prevent the acquisition of proprietary rights in the name and to prohibit registration of the name as a trademark or trade name. Article 9 a) In the extraordinary circumstance that a previously recommended international nonproprietary name gives rise to errors in medication, prescription or distribution, or a demonstrable risk thereof, because of similarity with another name in pharmaceutical and/or prescription practices, and it appears that such errors or potential errors cannot readily be resolved through other interventions than a possible substitution of a previously recommended international nonproprietary name, or in the event that a previously recommended international nonproprietary name differs substantially from the nonproprietary name approved in a significant number of Member States, or in other such extraordinary circumstances that justify a substitution of a recommended international nonproprietary name, proposals to that effect may be filed by any interested person. Such proposals shall be submitted on the form provided therefore and shall: i) identify the person making the proposal;

ii) state his or her interest in the proposed substitution; and iii) set forth the reasons for the proposal; and

iv) describe, and provide documentary evidence regarding the other interventions undertaken in an effort to resolve the situation, and the reasons why these other interventions were inadequate.

Proposed INN: List 112 WHO Drug Information, Vol. 28, No. 4, 2014

550

Such proposals may include a proposal for a new substitute international nonproprietary name, devised in accordance with the General principles, which takes into account the pharmaceutical substance for which the new substitute international nonproprietary name is being proposed. The Secretariat shall forward a copy of the proposal, for consideration in accordance with the procedure described in subsection (b) below, to the INN Expert Group and the original applicant or its successor (if different from the person bringing the proposal for substitution and provided that the original applicant or its successor is known or can be found through diligent effort, including contacts with industry associations). In addition, the Secretariat shall request comments on the proposal from:

i) Member States and national and regional pharmacopoeia commissions or other bodies designated by Member States (by including a notice to that effect in the letter referred to in article 3(a), and

ii) any other persons known to be concerned by the proposed substitution.

The request for comments shall:

i) state the recommended international nonproprietary name that is being proposed for substitution (and the proposed substitute name, if provided);

ii) identify the person who submitted the proposal for substitution (if so requested by such

person);

iii) identify the substance to which the proposed substitution relates and reasons put forward for substitution;

iv) set forth the time within which comments will be received and the person and place to whom they should be directed; and v) state the authority under which WHO is acting and refer to these rules of procedure.

Comments on the proposed substitution may be forwarded by any person to WHO within four months of the date of the request for comments. b) After the time period for comments referred to above has elapsed, the Secretariat shall forward any comments received to the INN Expert Group, the original applicant or its successor and the person bringing the proposal for substitution. If, after consideration of the proposal for substitution and the comments received, the INN Expert Group, the person bringing the proposal for substitution and the original applicant or its successor all agree that there is a need to substitute the previously recommended international nonproprietary name, the Secretariat shall submit the proposal for substitution to the INN Expert Group for further processing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the original applicant or its successor shall not be entitled to withhold agreement to a proposal for substitution in the event the original applicant or its successor has no demonstrable continuing interest in the recommended international nonproprietary name proposed for substitution.

In the event that a proposal for substitution shall be submitted to the INN Expert Group for further processing, the INN Expert Group will select a new international nonproprietary name in accordance with the General principles referred to in article 2 and the procedure set forth in articles 3 to 8 inclusive. The notices to be given by the Secretariat under article 3 and article 7, respectively, including to the original applicant or its successor (if not the same as the person proposing the substitution, and provided that the original applicant or its successor is known or can be found through diligent effort, including contacts with industry associations), shall in such event indicate that the new name is a substitute for a previously recommended international nonproprietary name and that Member States may wish to make transitional arrangements in order to accommodate existing products that use the previously recommended international nonproprietary name on their label in accordance with national legislation.

If, after consideration of the proposal for substitution and the comments received in accordance

with the procedure described above, the INN Expert Group, the original applicant or its successor and the person bringing the proposal for substitution do not agree that there are compelling reasons for substitution of a previously recommended international nonproprietary name, this name shall be retained (provided always that the original applicant or its successor shall not be entitled to withhold agreement to a proposal for substitution in the event that the original applicant or its successor has no demonstrable continuing interest in the recommended international nonproprietary name proposed to be substituted). In such an event, the Secretariat shall advise the person having proposed the substitution, as well as the original applicant or its successor (if not the same as the person proposing the substitution, and provided that the original applicant or its successor is known or can be found through diligent effort, including contacts with industry associations), Member States, national and regional pharmacopoeia commissions, other bodies designated by Member States, and any other persons known to be concerned by the proposed substitution that, despite a proposal for substitution, it has been decided to retain the previously recommended international nonproprietary name (with a description of the reason(s) why the proposal for substitution was not considered sufficiently compelling).

ANNEX 2 GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR GUIDANCE IN DEVISING INTERNATIONAL NONPROPRIETARY NAMES FOR PHARMACEUTICAL SUBSTANCES1

1. International Nonproprietary Names (INN) should be distinctive in sound and spelling. They should not be inconveniently long and should not be liable to confusion with names in common use. 2. The INN for a substance belonging to a group of pharmacologically related substances should, where appropriate, show this relationship. Names that are likely to convey to a patient an anatomical, physiological, pathological or therapeutic suggestion should be avoided. These primary principles are to be implemented by using the following secondary principles: 3. In devising the INN of the first substance in a new pharmacological group, consideration should be given to the possibility of devising suitable INN for related substances, belonging to the new group. 4. In devising INN for acids, one-word names are preferred; their salts should be named without modifying the acid name, e.g. “oxacillin” and “oxacillin sodium”, “ibufenac” and “ibufenac sodium”. 5. INN for substances which are used as salts should in general apply to the active base or the active acid. Names for different salts or esters of the same active substance should differ only in respect of the name of the inactive acid or the inactive base. For quaternary ammonium substances, the cation and anion should be named appropriately as separate components of a quaternary substance and not in the amine-salt style. 6. The use of an isolated letter or number should be avoided; hyphenated construction is also undesirable. 7. To facilitate the translation and pronunciation of INN, “f” should be used instead of “ph”, “t” instead of “th”, “e” instead of “ae” or “oe”, and “i” instead of “y”; the use of the letters “h” and “k” should be avoided. 1

In its Twentieth report (WHO Technical Report Series, No. 581, 1975), the WHO Expert committee on Nonproprietary Names for Pharmaceutical Substances reviewed the general principles for devising, and the procedures for selecting, INN in the light of developments in pharmaceutical compounds in recent years. The most significant change has been the extension to the naming of synthetic chemical substances of the practice previously used for substances originating in or derived from natural products. This practice involves the use of a characteristic “stem” indicative of a common property of the members of a group. The reason for, and the implications of, the change are fully discussed. The guiding principles were updated during the 13th Consultation on nonproprietary names for pharmaceutical substances (Geneva, 27-29 April 1983) (PHARM S/NOM 928 13 May 1983, revised 18 August 1983).

Proposed INN: List 112 WHO Drug Information, Vol. 28, No. 4, 2014

552

8. Provided that the names suggested are in accordance with these principles, names proposed by the person discovering or first developing and marketing a pharmaceutical preparation, or names already officially in use in any country, should receive preferential consideration. 9. Group relationship in INN (see General principle 2) should if possible be shown by using a common stem. The following list contains examples of stems for groups of substances, particularly for new groups. There are many other stems in active use.1 Where a stem is shown without any hyphens it may be used anywhere in the name.

SUBSTANCES PHARMACEUTIQUES1

L’Organisation mondiale de la Santé (également désignée ci-après sous l’appellation « OMS ») observe la procédure exposée ci-dessous pour l’attribution de dénominations communes internationales recommandées pour les substances pharmaceutiques, conformément à la résolution WHA3.11 de l’Assemblée mondiale de la Santé, et pour le remplacement de telles dénominations. Article 1 - Les propositions de dénominations communes internationales recommandées et les propositions de remplacement de telles dénominations sont soumises à l’OMS sur la formule prévue à cet effet. L’examen de telles propositions est soumis au paiement d’une taxe administrative destinée uniquement à couvrir les coûts correspondants assumés par le Secrétariat de l’OMS (« le Secrétariat »). Le montant de cette taxe est déterminé par le Secrétariat et peut être modifié de temps à autre. Article 2 - Ces propositions sont soumises par le Secrétariat aux experts désignés à cette fin parmi les personnalités inscrites au Tableau d’experts de la Pharmacopée internationale et des Préparations pharmaceutiques, ci-après désignés sous l’appellation « le Groupe d’experts des DCI » ; elles sont examinées par les experts conformément aux « Directives générales pour la formation de dénominations communes internationales pour les substances pharmaceutiques » reproduites ci-après2.

La dénomination acceptée est la dénomination employée par la personne qui découvre ou qui, la première, fabrique et lance sur le marché une substance pharmaceutique, à moins que des raisons majeures n’obligent à s’écarter de cette règle. Article 3 - Après l’examen prévu à l’article 2, le Secrétariat notifie qu’un projet de dénomination commune internationale est à l’étude. a) Cette notification est faite par une insertion dans WHO Drug Information3 et par l’envoi d’une lettre aux Etats Membres et aux commissions nationales et régionales de pharmacopée ou autres organismes désignés par les Etats Membres.

i) Notification est également faite à la personne qui a soumis la proposition (« le demandeur initial ») et à d’autres personnes portant à la dénomination mise à l’étude un intérêt notoire.

b) Cette notification contient les indications suivantes :

i) dénomination mise à l’étude;

ii) nom de l’auteur de la proposition tendant à attribuer une dénomination à la substance, si cette personne le demande ;

iii) définition de la substance dont la dénomination est mise à l’étude ;

iv) délai pendant lequel seront reçues les observations et les objections à l’égard de cette dénomination ; nom et adresse de la personne habilitée à recevoir ces observations et objections ;

v) mention des pouvoirs en vertu desquels agit l’OMS et référence au présent règlement.

c) En envoyant cette notification, le Secrétariat demande aux Etats Membres de prendre les mesures nécessaires pour prévenir l’acquisition de droits de propriété sur la dénomination proposée pendant la période au cours de laquelle cette dénomination est mise à l’étude par l’OMS. Article 4 - Des observations sur la dénomination proposée peuvent être adressées à l’OMS par toute personne, dans les quatre mois qui suivent la date de publication de la dénomination dans WHO Drug Information (voir l’article 3). Article 5 - Toute personne intéressée peut formuler une objection formelle contre la dénomination proposée dans les quatre mois qui suivent la date de publication de la dénomination dans WHO Drug Information (voir l’article 3). Cette objection doit s’accompagner des indications suivantes :

i) nom de l’auteur de l’objection ; ii) intérêt qu’il ou elle porte à la dénomination en cause ; iii) raisons motivant l’objection contre la dénomination proposée. Article 6 - Lorsqu’une objection formelle est formulée en vertu de l’article 5, l’OMS peut soit soumettre la dénomination proposée à un nouvel examen, soit intervenir pour tenter d’obtenir le retrait de l’objection. Sans préjudice de l’examen par l’OMS d’une ou de plusieurs appellations de remplacement, l’OMS n’adopte pas d’appellation comme dénomination commune internationale recommandée tant qu’une objection formelle présentée conformément à l’article 5 n’est pas levée. Article 7 - Lorsqu’il n’est formulé aucune objection en vertu de l’article 5, ou que toutes les objections présentées ont été levées, le Secrétariat fait une notification conformément aux dispositions du paragraphe a) de l’article 3, en indiquant que la dénomination a été choisie par l’OMS en tant que dénomination commune internationale recommandée. Article 8 - En communiquant aux Etats Membres, conformément à l’article 7, une dénomination commune internationale recommandée, le Secrétariat : a) demande que cette dénomination soit reconnue comme dénomination commune de la substance considérée ; et b) demande aux Etats Membres de prendre les mesures nécessaires pour prévenir l’acquisition de droits de propriété sur cette dénomination et interdire le dépôt de cette dénomination comme marque ou appellation commerciale. Article 9 - a) Dans le cas exceptionnel où une dénomination commune internationale déjà recommandée donne lieu à des erreurs de médication, de prescription ou de distribution ou en comporte un risque démontrable, en raison d’une similitude avec une autre appellation dans la pratique pharmaceutique et/ou de prescription, et où il apparaît que ces erreurs ou ces risques d’erreur ne peuvent être facilement évités par d’autres interventions que le remplacement éventuel d’une dénomination commune internationale déjà recommandée, ou dans le cas où une dénomination commune internationale déjà recommandée diffère sensiblement de la dénomination commune approuvée dans un nombre important d’Etats Membres, ou dans d’autres circonstances exceptionnelles qui justifient le remplacement d’une dénomination commune internationale recommandée, toute personne intéressée peut formuler une proposition dans ce sens. Cette proposition est présentée sur la formule prévue à cet effet et doit s’accompagner des indications suivantes :

i) nom de l’auteur de la proposition ;

ii) intérêt qu’il ou elle porte au remplacement proposé ;

iii) raisons motivant la proposition ; et

iv) description, faits à l’appui, des autres interventions entreprises pour tenter de régler le problème et exposé des raisons pour lesquelles ces interventions ont échoué.

Les propositions peuvent comprendre une proposition de nouvelle dénomination commune internationale de remplacement, établie conformément aux Directives générales, compte tenu de la substance pharmaceutique pour laquelle la nouvelle dénomination commune internationale de remplacement est proposée. Le Secrétariat transmet une copie de la proposition pour examen, conformément à la procédure exposée plus loin au paragraphe b), au Groupe d’experts des DCI et au demandeur initial ou à son successeur (s’il s’agit d’une personne différente de celle qui a formulé la proposition de remplacement et pour autant que le demandeur initial ou son successeur soit connu ou puisse être retrouvé moyennant des efforts diligents, notamment des contacts avec les associations industrielles). De plus, le Secrétariat demande aux entités et personnes ci-après de formuler des observations sur la proposition :

i) les Etats Membres et les commissions nationales et régionales de pharmacopée ou d’autres organismes désignés par les Etats Membres (en insérant une note à cet effet dans la lettre mentionnée à l’article 3.a), et

ii) toutes autres personnes portant au remplacement proposé un intérêt notoire. La demande d’observations contient les indications suivantes :

i) dénomination commune internationale recommandée pour laquelle un remplacement est proposé (et la dénomination de remplacement proposée, si elle est fournie) ;

ii) nom de l’auteur de la proposition de remplacement (si cette personne le demande) ;

iii) définition de la substance faisant l’objet du remplacement proposé et raisons avancées pour le remplacement ;

iv) délai pendant lequel seront reçus les commentaires et nom et adresse de la personne habilitée à recevoir ces commentaires ; et

v) mention des pouvoirs en vertu desquels agit l’OMS et référence au présent règlement. Des observations sur la proposition de remplacement peuvent être communiquées par toute personne à l’OMS dans les quatre mois qui suivent la date de la demande d’observations. b) Une fois échu le délai prévu ci-dessus pour la communication d’observations, le Secrétariat transmet les observations reçues au Groupe d’experts des DCI, au demandeur initial ou à son successeur et à l’auteur de la proposition de remplacement. Si, après avoir examiné la proposition de remplacement et les observations reçues, le Groupe d’experts des DCI, l’auteur de la proposition de remplacement et le demandeur initial ou son successeur reconnaissent tous qu’il est nécessaire de remplacer la dénomination commune internationale déjà recommandée, le Secrétariat soumet la proposition de remplacement au Groupe d’experts des DCI pour qu’il y donne suite.

Nonobstant ce qui précède, le demandeur initial ou son successeur n’est pas habilité à refuser son accord à une proposition de remplacement au cas où il ne peut être démontré qu’il porte un intérêt durable à la dénomination commune internationale recommandée qu’il est proposé de remplacer.

Dans le cas où une proposition de remplacement est soumise au Groupe d’experts des DCI pour

qu’il y donne suite, le Groupe choisit une nouvelle dénomination commune internationale conformément aux Directives générales mentionnées à l’article 2 et selon la procédure décrite dans les articles 3 à 8 inclus. La notification faite par le Secrétariat en vertu de l’article 3 et de l’article 7, respectivement, y compris au demandeur initial ou à son successeur (si ce n’est pas la même personne que celle qui a proposé le remplacement et pour autant que le demandeur initial ou son successeur soit connu ou puisse

être retrouvé moyennant des efforts diligents, notamment des contacts avec les associations industrielles), doit dans un tel cas indiquer que la nouvelle dénomination remplace une dénomination commune internationale déjà recommandée et que les Etats Membres peuvent souhaiter prendre des mesures transitoires pour les produits existants qui utilisent la dénomination commune internationale déjà recommandée sur leur étiquette conformément à la législation nationale.

Si, après examen de la proposition de remplacement et des observations communiquées

conformément à la procédure exposée plus haut, le Groupe d’experts des DCI, le demandeur initial ou son successeur et l’auteur de la proposition de remplacement ne s’accordent pas sur le fait qu’il y a des raisons impératives de remplacer une dénomination commune internationale déjà recommandée, cette dernière est conservée (étant entendu toujours que le demandeur initial ou son successeur n’est pas habilité à refuser son accord à une proposition de remplacement au cas où il ne peut être démontré qu’il porte un intérêt durable à la dénomination commune internationale recommandée qu’il est proposé de remplacer). Dans un tel cas, le Secrétariat informe l’auteur de la proposition de remplacement, ainsi que le demandeur initial ou son successeur (s’il s’agit d’une personne différente de celle qui a formulé la proposition de remplacement et pour autant que le demandeur initial ou son successeur soit connu ou puisse être retrouvé moyennant des efforts diligents, notamment des contacts avec les associations industrielles), les Etats Membres, les commissions nationales et régionales de pharmacopée, les autres organismes désignés par les Etats Membres et toutes autres personnes portant un intérêt notoire au remplacement proposé que, malgré une proposition de remplacement, il a été décidé de conserver la dénomination commune internationale déjà recommandée (avec une brève description de la ou des raisons pour lesquelles la proposition de remplacement n’a pas été jugée suffisamment impérative).

ANNEXE 2

DIRECTIVES GENERALES POUR LA FORMATION DE DENOMINATIONS

COMMUNES INTERNATIONALES APPLICABLES AUX SUBSTANCES PHARMACEUTIQUES1

1. Les dénominations communes internationales (DCI) devront se distinguer les unes des autres par leur consonance et leur orthographe. Elles ne devront pas être d’une longueur excessive, ni prêter à confusion avec des appellations déjà couramment employées. 2. La DCI de chaque substance devra, si possible, indiquer sa parenté pharmacologique. Les dénominations susceptibles d’évoquer pour les malades des considérations anatomiques, physiologiques, pathologiques ou thérapeutiques devront être évitées dans la mesure du possible. Outre ces deux principes fondamentaux, on respectera les principes secondaires suivants : 3. Lorsqu’on formera la DCI de la première substance d’un nouveau groupe pharmacologique, on tiendra compte de la possibilité de former ultérieurement d’autres DCI appropriées pour les substances apparentées du même groupe. 4. Pour former des DCI des acides, on utilisera de préférence un seul mot. Leurs sels devront être désignés par un terme qui ne modifie pas le nom de l’acide d’origine : par exemple «oxacilline» et «oxacilline sodique», «ibufénac» et «ibufénac sodique». 5. Les DCI pour les substances utilisées sous forme de sels devront en général s’appliquer à la base active (ou à l’acide actif). Les dénominations pour différents sels ou esters d’une même substance active ne différeront que par le nom de l’acide inactif (ou de la base inactive). 1

Dans son vingtième rapport (OMS, Série de Rapports techniques, N° 581, 1975), le Comité OMS d’experts des Dénominations communes pour les Substances pharmaceutiques a examiné les directives générales pour la formation des dénominations communes internationales et la procédure à suivre en vue de leur choix, compte tenu de l’évolution du secteur pharmaceutique au cours des dernières années. La modification la plus importante a été l’extension aux substances de synthèse de la pratique normalement suivie pour désigner les substances tirées ou dérivées de produits naturels. Cette pratique consiste à employer des syllabes communes ou groupes de syllabes communes (segments-clés) qui sont caractéristiques et indiquent une propriété commune aux membres du groupe des substances pour lequel ces segments-clés ont été retenus. Les raisons et les conséquences de cette modification ont fait l’objet de discussions approfondies. Les directives ont été mises à jour lors de la treizième consultation sur les dénominations communes pour les substances pharmaceutiques (Genève, 27-29 avril 1983) (PHARM S/NOM 928, 13 mai 1983, révision en date du 18 août 1983).

557

En ce qui concerne les substances à base d’ammonium quaternaire, la dénomination s’appliquera de façon appropriée au cation et à l’anion en tant qu’éléments distincts d’une substance quaternaire. On évitera de choisir une désignation évoquant un sel aminé. 6. On évitera d’ajouter une lettre ou un chiffre isolé ; en outre, on renoncera de préférence au trait d’union. 7. Pour simplifier la traduction et la prononciation des DCI, la lettre « f » sera utilisée à la place de « ph », « t » à la place de « th », « e » à la place de « ae » ou « oe », et « i » à la place de « y » ; l’usage des lettres « h » et « k » sera aussi évité. 8. On retiendra de préférence, pour autant qu’elles respectent les principes énoncés ici, les dénominations proposées par les personnes qui ont découvert ou qui, les premières, ont fabriqué et lancé sur le marché les préparations pharmaceutiques considérées, ou les dénominations déjà officiellement adoptées par un pays. 9. La parenté entre substances d’un même groupe (voir Directive générale 2) sera si possible indiquée dans les DCI par l’emploi de segments-clés communs. La liste ci-après contient des exemples de segments-clés pour des groupes de substances, surtout pour des groupes récents. Il y a beaucoup d’autres segments-clés en utilisation active. 1 Les segments-clés indiqués sans trait d’union pourront être insérés n’importe où dans une dénomination.

PROCEDIMIENTO DE SELECCIÓN DE DENOMINACIONES COMUNES INTERNACIONALES RECOMENDADAS PARA SUSTANCIAS FARMACÉUTICAS1

La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) seguirá el procedimiento que se expone a continuación tanto para seleccionar denominaciones comunes internacionales recomendadas para las sustancias farmacéuticas, de conformidad con lo dispuesto en la resolución WHA3.11, como para sustituir esas denominaciones. Artículo 1 - Las propuestas de denominaciones comunes internacionales recomendadas y las propuestas de sustitución de esas denominaciones se presentarán a la OMS en los formularios que se proporcionen a estos efectos. El estudio de estas propuestas estará sujeto al pago de una tasa destinada a sufragar los costos de administración que ello suponga para la Secretaría de la OMS («la Secretaría»). La Secretaría establecerá la cuantía de esa tasa y podrá ajustarla periódicamente. Artículo 2 - Estas propuestas serán sometidas por la Secretaría a los miembros del Cuadro de Expertos en Farmacopea Internacional y Preparaciones Farmacéuticas encargados de su estudio, en adelante de-signados como «el Grupo de Expertos en DCI», para que las examinen de conformidad con los «Principios generales de orientación para formar denominaciones comunes internacionales para sus-tancias farmacéuticas», anexos a este procedimiento.2 A menos que haya poderosas razones en contra, la denominación aceptada será la empleada por la persona que haya descubierto o fabricado y comer-cializado por primera vez esa sustancia farmacéutica. Artículo 3 - Tras el examen al que se refiere el artículo 2, la Secretaría notificará que está en estudio un proyecto de denominación internacional. a) Esa notificación se hará mediante una publicación en Información Farmacéutica OMS3

y el envío de una carta a los Estados Miembros y a las comisiones nacionales y regionales de las farmacopeas u otros organismos designados por los Estados Miembros.

i) La notificación será enviada también a la persona que haya presentado la propuesta («el solicitante inicial») y a otras personas que tengan un interés especial en una denominación objeto de estudio.

b) En esa notificación se incluirán los siguientes datos: i) la denominación sometida a estudio; ii) la identidad de la persona que ha presentado la propuesta de denominación de la sustancia, si lo pide esa persona; iii) la identidad de la sustancia cuya denominación está en estudio;

iv) el plazo fijado para recibir observaciones y objeciones, así como el nombre y la dirección de la persona a quien deban dirigirse; y v) los poderes conferidos para el caso a la OMS y una referencia al presente procedimiento.

c) Al enviar esa notificación, la Secretaría solicitará de los Estados Miembros la adopción de todas las medidas necesarias para impedir la adquisición de derechos de patente sobre la denominación propuesta, durante el periodo en que la OMS la tenga en estudio. Artículo 4 - Toda persona puede formular a la OMS observaciones sobre la denominación propuesta dentro de los cuatro meses siguientes a su publicación en Información Farmacéutica OMS, conforme a lo dispuesto en el artículo 3. Artículo 5 - Toda persona interesada puede presentar una objeción formal a una denominación propuesta dentro de los cuatro meses siguientes a su publicación en Información Farmacéutica OMS, conforme a lo dispuesto en el artículo 3. Esa objeción deberá acompañarse de los siguientes datos:

i) la identidad de la persona que formula la objeción; ii) las causas que motivan su interés por la denominación; y iii) las causas que motivan su objeción a la denominación propuesta.

Artículo 6 - Cuando se haya presentado una objeción formal en la forma prevista en el artículo 5, la OMS podrá reconsiderar el nombre propuesto o utilizar sus buenos oficios para intentar lograr que se retire la objeción. La OMS no seleccionará como denominación común internacional una denominación a la que se haya hecho una objeción formal, presentada según lo previsto en el artículo 5, que no haya sido retirada, todo ello sin perjuicio de que la Organización examine otra denominación o denominaciones sustitutivas. Artículo 7 - Cuando no se haya formulado ninguna objeción en la forma prevista en el artículo 5, o cuando todas las objeciones presentadas hayan sido retiradas, la Secretaría notificará, conforme a lo dispuesto en el párrafo a) del artículo 3, que la denominación ha sido seleccionada por la OMS como denominación común internacional recomendada. Artículo 8 - Al comunicar a los Estados Miembros una denominación común internacional, conforme a lo previsto en el artículo 7, la Secretaría: a) solicitará que esta denominación sea reconocida como denominación común para la sustancia de que se trate; y b) solicitará a los Estados Miembros que adopten todas las medidas necesarias para impedir la adquisición de derechos de patente sobre la denominación, y prohíban que sea registrada como marca de fábrica o como nombre comercial. Artículo 9 a) En el caso excepcional de que, debido a su semejanza con otra denominación utilizada en las prácticas farmacéuticas y/o de prescripción, una denominación común internacional recomendada anteriormente ocasione errores de medicación, prescripción o distribución, o suponga un riesgo manifiesto de que esto ocurra, y parezca que tales errores o potenciales errores no sean fácilmente subsanables con otras medidas que no sean la posible sustitución de esa denominación común internacional recomendada anteriormente; en el caso de que una denominación común internacional recomendada anteriormente difiera considerablemente de la denominación común aprobada en un número importante de Estados Miembros, o en otras circunstancias excepcionales que justifiquen el cambio de una denominación común internacional recomendada, cualquier persona interesada puede presentar propuestas en este sentido. Esas propuestas se presentarán en los formularios que se proporcionen a estos efectos e incluirán los siguientes datos:

i) la identidad de la persona que presenta la propuesta; ii) las causas que motivan su interés en la sustitución propuesta;

iii) las causas que motivan la propuesta; y

iv) una descripción, acompañada de pruebas documentales, de las otras medidas que se hayan adoptado con el fin de resolver la situación y de los motivos por los cuales dichas medidas no han sido suficientes.

Entre esas propuestas podrá figurar una relativa a una nueva denominación común

internacional sustitutiva, formulada con arreglo a los Principios generales y que tenga en cuenta la sustancia farmacéutica para la que se proponga la nueva denominación común internacional sustitutiva.

La Secretaría enviará al Grupo de Expertos en DCI y al solicitante inicial o a su sucesor (en el caso de que sea una persona diferente de la que ha presentado la propuesta de sustitución y siempre que el solicitante inicial o su sucesor sean conocidos o puedan ser encontrados mediante esfuerzos diligentes, como el contacto con las asociaciones industriales) una copia de la propuesta, para que sea examinada de conformidad con el procedimiento descrito en el párrafo b) infra. Además, la Secretaría solicitará observaciones sobre la propuesta:

i) a los Estados Miembros y a las comisiones nacionales y regionales de las farmacopeas u otros organismos designados por los Estados Miembros (ello se hará incluyendo una notificación a tal efecto en la carta a la que se refiere el párrafo a) del artículo 3), y

ii) a cualquier persona que tenga un interés especial en la sustitución propuesta.

Al solicitar que se formulen estas observaciones se facilitarán los siguientes datos: i) la denominación común internacional recomendada que se propone sustituir (y la denominación sustitutiva propuesta, si se ha facilitado);

ii) la identidad de la persona que ha presentado la propuesta de sustitución (si lo pide esa persona); iii) la identidad de la sustancia a la que se refiere la sustitución propuesta y las razones para presentar la propuesta de sustitución; iv) el plazo fijado para recibir observaciones, así como el nombre y la dirección de la persona a quien deban dirigirse; y

v) los poderes conferidos para el caso a la OMS y una referencia al presente procedimiento.

Toda persona puede formular a la OMS observaciones sobre la sustitución propuesta dentro de los cuatro meses siguientes a la fecha en que se realizó la solicitud de observaciones. b) Una vez agotado el mencionado plazo para la formulación de observaciones, la Secretaría enviará todos los comentarios recibidos al Grupo de Expertos en DCI, al solicitante inicial o a su sucesor, y a la persona que haya presentado la propuesta de sustitución. Si después de examinar la propuesta de sustitución y las observaciones recibidas, el Grupo de Expertos en DCI, la persona que haya presentado la propuesta de sustitución y el solicitante inicial, o su sucesor, están de acuerdo en la necesidad de sustituir la denominación común internacional recomendada anteriormente, la Secretaría remitirá la propuesta de sustitución al Grupo de Expertos en DCI para que la tramite. No obstante lo anterior, el solicitante inicial o su sucesor no tendrán derecho a impedir el acuerdo sobre una propuesta de sustitución en el caso de que hayan dejado de tener un interés demostrable en la denominación común internacional cuya sustitución se propone.

En caso de que la propuesta de sustitución sea presentada al Grupo de Expertos en DCI para que la tramite, este grupo seleccionará una nueva denominación común internacional de conformidad con los

Principios generales a los que se refiere el artículo 2 y al procedimiento establecido en los artículos 3 a 8 inclusive. En ese caso, en las notificaciones que la Secretaría ha de enviar con arreglo a los artículos 3 y 7, respectivamente, incluida la notificación al solicitante inicial o a su sucesor (en el caso de que no sea la misma persona que propuso la sustitución y siempre que el solicitante inicial o su sucesor sean conocidos o puedan ser encontrados mediante esfuerzos diligentes, como el contacto con las asociaciones industriales), se indicará que la nueva denominación sustituye a una denominación común internacional recomendada anteriormente y que los Estados Miembros podrán, si lo estiman oportuno, adoptar disposiciones transitorias aplicables a los productos existentes en cuya etiqueta se utilice, con arreglo a la legislación nacional, la denominación común internacional recomendada anteriormente que se haya sustituido.

En caso de que, después de haber estudiado la propuesta de sustitución y los comentarios recibidos de conformidad con el procedimiento descrito anteriormente, el Grupo de Expertos en DCI, el solicitante inicial o su sucesor y la persona que haya presentado la propuesta de sustitución no lleguen a un acuerdo sobre la existencia de razones poderosas para sustituir una denominación común internacional recomendada anteriormente, esta denominación se mantendrá (siempre en el entendimiento de que el solicitante inicial o su sucesor no tendrán derecho a impedir el acuerdo sobre una propuesta de sustitución en el caso de que hayan dejado de tener un interés demostrable en la denominación común internacional cuya sustitución se propone). En ese caso, la Secretaría comunicará a la persona que haya propuesto la sustitución, así como al solicitante inicial o a su sucesor (en el caso de que no sea la misma persona que propuso la sustitución y siempre que el solicitante inicial o su sucesor sean conocidos o puedan ser encontrados mediante esfuerzos diligentes, como el contacto con las asociaciones industriales), a los Estados Miembros, a las comisiones nacionales y regionales de las farmacopeas o a otros organismos designados por los Estados Miembros y a cualquier otra persona que tenga interés en la sustitución propuesta, que, pese a la presentación de una propuesta de sustitución, se ha decidido mantener la denominación común internacional recomendada anteriormente (con una descripción de la o las razones por las que se ha considerado que la propuesta de sustitución no estaba respaldada por razones suficientemente poderosas).

ANEXO 2

PRINCIPIOS GENERALES DE ORIENTACIÓN PARA FORMAR DENOMINACIONES COMUNES INTERNACIONALES PARA SUSTANCIAS FARMACÉUTICAS1

1. Las denominaciones comunes internacionales (DCI) deberán diferenciarse tanto fonética como ortográficamente. No deberán ser incómodamente largas, ni dar lugar a confusión con denominaciones de uso común. 2. La DCI de una sustancia que pertenezca a un grupo de sustancias farmacológicamente emparentadas deberá mostrar apropiadamente este parentesco. Deberán evitarse las denominaciones que puedan tener connotaciones anatómicas, fisiológicas, patológicas o terapéuticas para el paciente. Estos principios primarios se pondrán en práctica utilizando los siguientes principios secundarios: 3. Al idear la DCI de la primera sustancia de un nuevo grupo farmacológico, deberá tenerse en cuenta la posibilidad de poder formar DCI convenientes para las sustancias emparentadas que se agreguen al nuevo grupo. 4. Al idear DCI para ácidos, se preferirán las de una sola palabra; sus sales deberán denominarse sin modificar el nombre del ácido: p. ej. «oxacilina» y «oxacilina sódica», «ibufenaco» y «ibufenaco sódico». 1 En su 20º informe (OMS, Serie de Informes Técnicos, Nº 581, 1975), el Comité de Expertos de la OMS en Denominaciones Comunes para las Sustancias Farmacéuticas revisó los Principios generales para formar denominaciones comunes internacionales (DCI), y su procedimiento de selección, a la luz de las novedades registradas en los últimos años en materia de compuestos farmacéuticos. El cambio más importante había consistido en hacer extensivo a la denominación de sustancias químicas sintéticas el método utilizado hasta entonces para las sustancias originadas en productos naturales o derivadas de éstos. Dicho método conlleva la utilización de una «partícula» característica que indica una propiedad común a los miembros de un grupo. En el citado informe se examinan en detalle las razones y consecuencias de este cambio. Los Principios generales de orientación se actualizaron durante la 13ª consulta sobre denominaciones comunes para sustancias farmacéuticas (Ginebra, 27 a 29 de abril de 1983) (PHARM S/NOM 928, 13 de mayo de 1983, revisado el 18 de agosto de 1983).

5. Las DCI para las sustancias que se usan en forma de sal deberán en general aplicarse a la base activa o al ácido activo. Las denominaciones para diferentes sales o esteres de la misma sustancia activa solamente deberán diferir en el nombre del ácido o de la base inactivos. En los compuestos de amonio cuaternario, el catión y el anión deberán denominarse adecuadamente por separado, como componentes independientes de una sustancia cuaternaria y no como sales de una amina. 6. Deberá evitarse el empleo de letras o números aislados; también es indeseable el empleo de guiones. 7. Para facilitar la traducción y la pronunciación, se emplearán de preferencia las letras «f» en lugar de «ph», «t» en lugar de «th», «e» en lugar de «ae» u «oe», e «i» en lugar de «y»; se deberá evitar el empleo de las letras «h» y «k». 8. Siempre que las denominaciones propuestas estén de acuerdo con estos principios, recibirán una consideración preferente las denominaciones propuestas por la persona que haya descubierto las sus-tancias, o que fabrique y comercialice por primera vez una sustancia farmacéutica, así como las deno-minaciones ya adoptadas oficialmente en cualquier país. 9. El parentesco entre sustancias del mismo grupo se pondrá de manifiesto en las DCI (véase el Principio 2) utilizando una partícula común. En la lista que figura a continuación se indican ejemplos de partículas para grupos de sustancias, en particular para grupos nuevos. Existen muchas otras partículas que se usan habitualmente.1 Cuando una partícula aparece sin guión alguno, puede utilizarse en cualquier lugar de la palabra.
