Whether The Overseas Clinical Trial Data Must Meet The Requirements Of The Chinese Guidelines Of Specific Products?

There maybe differences for requirements of medical device clinical trial data in different countries. For example, for the design of a clinical trial, the requirement in some countries is that the clinical trial can reach the conclusion that the performance of a medical device achieves one observation endpoint. But the requirement for registration application in our country is that the effectiveness can only be verified until the performance of a medical device achieves multiple observation endpoints and there is appropriate evidence supporting the safety of the medical device. Therefore, the overseas clinical trial data may not fully meet the relevant review requirements in China. If the “guidelines for technical review of a specific medical device” issued by NMPA specified relevant requirements for the clinical trial of the medical device, such requirements shall be considered for the overseas clinical trial of the medical device. In case of any inconsistency, sufficient and reasonable grounds and basis shall be provided.
