Any person who intends to manufacture a biological product as well as substance for CT shall submit application in CT-10 for obtaining permission from the CLA to manufacture such biological product. Any person who intends to manufacture a formulation of a biological product after obtaining biological substance from an approved source for CT shall submit application in CT-10 for obtaining permission from the CLA in Form CT-11 to manufacture such biological product. Any person who intends to manufacture a biological product after obtaining biological substance from an unapproved source for shall submit application in CT-12 for obtaining permission from the CLA in Form CT-14 to manufacture such biological product. In such case, the biological substance manufacturer is also required to submit application to CLA in Form CT-13 for obtaining permission in Form CT-15 to manufacture and supply the unapproved biological substance to the formulator for development of the biological product. Any person who intends to manufacture an investigational biological product after obtaining the unapproved biological substance from another manufacturer for CT shall submit application in CT-12 for obtaining permission from the CLA in Form CT-14 to manufacture such investigational biological product. In such case the biological substance manufacturer is also required to submit application to CLA in Form CT-13 for obtaining permission in Form-CT15 to manufacture and supply the unapproved biological substance to the formulator for development of the investigational biological product.

After evaluating the Form CT-16 and documents, if satisfied, that the requirements of these rules have been complied with, grant the licence to import the biological product for CT in Form CT-17 within a period of 90 working days from the date of receipt of the application.

Yes. Any sponsor or investigator intended to initiate a clinical trial for biological product shall obtain permission from CLA in Form CT-06. The applicant shall submit application in Form CT-04 along with all other necessary documents specified under Second Schedule and fees as specified under Sixth Schedule of CT Rules 2019.

The license granted in Form CT-17 shall remain valid for a period of 3 years from the date of its issue, unless suspended or cancelled by CLA. In exceptional circumstances the CLA may extend the period of the license granted under rule 68 for a further period of 1 year.

The extrapolation of the safety and efficacy data of a particular clinical indication (for which clinical studies has been done) of a similar biologic to other clinical indications may be possible if following conditions are met: Similarity with respect to quality has been proven to reference biologic Similarity with respect to preclinical assessment has been proven to reference biologic Clinical safety and efficacy is proven in one indication Mechanism of action is same for other clinical indications Involved receptor(s) are same for other clinical indications New indication not mentioned by innovator will be covered by a separate application.

The permission to initiate clinical trial granted in Form CT-06 or automatic approval in Form CT 4A shall remain valid for a period of 2 years from the date of its issue, unless extended by the CLA.

Yes. Before enrolment of first participant in any clinical trial, registration in CTRI is mandatory.

The three tier mechanism comprises the following authorities: 1. Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBSC) at the Institute/ company – To ensure biosafety on-site . 2. Review Committee on Genetic Manipulation (RCGM) in the Department of Biotechnology - Managed genetically engineered cell banks. 3. Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC) in the Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoE&F)- for genetically modified organisms/ living modified organisms.

Any person or institution or organisation having permanent establishment in India who intends to conduct clinical trial of a biological product can submit application for clinical trial.
