The Patented Medicine Prices Review Board (PMPRB) launched a new 60-day Notice and Comment period today, encouraging stakeholders and interested members of the public to provide their input on new proposed Interim Guidance.
This new proposed guidance would amend the existing Interim Guidance which was issued by the Board on August 18, 2022, and was intended to be a temporary measure following Health Canada's July 2022 amendments to the Patented Medicines Regulations. The new guidance would allow Board staff to address new medicines under the new Regulations until a final set of Guidelines is in place. The Board looks forward to announcing its forward plan on finalizing the Guidelines shortly.
The deadline for providing written submissions to the PMPRB is Monday, August 21, 2023.
