EMA’s Multinational Approach Brings All But Two Member States Into New Drug Assessor Fold
Executive Summary
The multinational assessment team (MNAT) approach aimed to involve more EU member states in the evaluation of new medicines. EMA views it as a success, although only about 10% of marketing authorization applications submitted for initial evaluation in 2015 involved MNATs. It will shortly be expanded to certain post-authorization procedures and is being promoted as a tool that will help the agency deal with Brexit fallout.
