  • PAAB Forum Quarterly Review and eFiles Tag and CEI Report - Q2 - 2025
    Jennifer CarrollJ Jennifer Carroll

    Good Afternoon @Manufacturer and @Agency

    It's crazy to say but we're now just past halfway through 2025!

    The PAAB Quarterly Tag and CEI Reports have been updated to contain data for Q2. See the Tag report here and the CEI report here.

    The Forum Quarterly Review for Q2 has also been posted here.

    If there's more you'd like to know in Q3, let us know in the comments below. Have a wonderful rest of the summer.

    Thank you

  • Product is "in stock" claim
    Jennifer CarrollJ Jennifer Carroll

    Hi @support

    A strictly informational statement about stock such as “Product X 5mg dose now back in stock” could be considered exempt.

    The inclusion of the indication statement renders it no longer exempt.
    The inclusion of a product photo MAY render it no longer exempt. This piece should likely be submitted for an exempt opinion to assess if the product photo can be used while meeting exempt criteria.

    Jennifer CarrollJ Jennifer Carroll

    Good morning, @Manufacturer @Agency

    PAAB will be performing an upgrade to the eFiles system tonight, July 29th. We will be shutting the eFiles system down from 5pm-midnight to perform the upgrade. Please note that users will not have access to eFiles during this time.

    We’re sorry for any inconvenience that this causes.

    Thank you
    PAAB

  • Product is "in stock" claim
    Jennifer CarrollJ Jennifer Carroll

    Hey @support

    A simple availability message such as “Product X is now back in stock” would be considered exempt. To remain exempt it should be limited to an informational message (not linked to therapeutic or promotional messages) about stock. (s1.5D)

  • Dosing information and off-label competitors in retrospective cohort studies
    Jennifer CarrollJ Jennifer Carroll

    Hey @dmauri
    Great question. As long as the study publication does not contain information suggesting dosing practices inconsistent with Canadian labelling, the manufacturer’s Medical/Regulatory Affairs department can confirm that the dosing in the jurisdiction where the study was conducted is the same as it is in Canada.

    When it comes to “SoC”, per 1.7 of the Guidance on Real-World Evidence/Data, remember that pooled comparisons are not acceptable which would render the second half of the question moot. However, if you are referring to SoC in a single-arm study (per Advisory: RWE Single-Arm Studies of Previously Treated Patients), we would look to ensure that the overwhelming majority of patients were on a product available in Canada/indicated in the same population in Canada. Regarding "SoC", please note the guidance's remarks on representing the marketplace versus exclusions by design. An opinion can be a great mechanism to get specific guidance on an individual study as it allows for assessment of the study design, therapeutic area, and indicated product(s).

  • Implications of updated safety information in Product Monograph
    Jennifer CarrollJ Jennifer Carroll

    Hey @JDilly11

    Hard to provide comments without seeing the updated TMA copy. This question is likely better submitted as an opinion so that we can look at the update and the nature of the claims being made in current or proposed future pieces. As a general guiding principle, the assessment is made by looking at the update in combination with the APS copy to ensure it reflects the same context as the TMA. If there is something that would trigger the inclusion, then it will likely have to be added. Whether both data presentations are required will also depend on the APS copy and the finalized TMA copy.

    Claims & Support/References for Claims

  • New pediatric indication claims
    Jennifer CarrollJ Jennifer Carroll

    Hey @mimi77
    While we don’t provide reviews of the Forum, in general terms the claim should reflect the nature of the update. From our understanding of the description, this would be authorization in a new population (pediatrics) and not a net new indication. As such, claims should reflect “Now authorized for use in pediatric patients for x” or something similar.

  • PAAB Code - Post hoc analysis
    Jennifer CarrollJ Jennifer Carroll

    Hello @msargeant

    Apologies for not seeing this question sooner. Per 3.1.1, post-hoc analysis are generally not considered acceptable evidence at this time. The circumstance in which post-hoc analyses would be considered acceptable is outlined in the statement that follows that copy which states “Data included in the TMA may be acceptable”. HTH.

  • Guideline terminology: Canadian, US/North American, International
    Jennifer CarrollJ Jennifer Carroll

    Hey @HollyMed

    Yes, per the copy "In the scenario described above where guidelines lower in the aforementioned hierarchy are being used over the available US guidelines, evidence must be provided to support that these guidelines are a true reflection of Canadian practice". Note that there may be instances where we ask for more information about US guidelines. This is extremely rare and the rationale is disclosed during the review process. If you find yourself in this rare instance, please reach out to the reviewer for clarification.
