ICMRA anniversary : 10 years of strategic leadership and cooperation (from Catapult’s regulatory round-up – November 2023)

The ICMRA has celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2023. The establishment dates to December 2013 when eight regulatory authorities came together to form the Coalition which has now expanded to 38 members with the World Health Organization (WHO) as an observer.

The ICMRA Regulatory Authorities is a forum to support international cooperation among medicines regulatory authorities. ICMRA helps address emerging regulatory science issues being faced by medicines regulatory authorities, provide direction and support to challenges across all areas within the regulatory mandates of national medicines regulatory authorities, and respond to regional and global major health crisis.

The anniversary was celebrated during ICMRA’s annual summit and Plenary in Melbourne on 13-16 November, hosted by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) of Australia. ICMRA members exchanged views and discussed topics such as the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in medicine regulation, evolution of clinical trials and advanced medical products based on genes, cells or tissue engineering.
