1) Verify your internal signal assessment narrative for GLP-1 RAs reflects FDA’s statement that the preliminary evaluation does not suggest a causal link; 2) Check whether any company-facing statements, FAQs, or labeling change proposals referencing suicidality need to be updated for consistency with FDA’s current public position; 3) Log the FDA update in regulatory intelligence tracking and maintain monitoring for further FDA conclusions or requests (including the linked 13 Jan 2026 communication).
1) Retrieve and review the updated “Submitting risk management plans guidance document” (PDF) and linked templates referenced from the overview (e.g., RMP note to reviewer, Canadian-specific addendum, RMP summary template) and map deltas vs the superseded 2015 approach. 2) Update Canada submission checklists/work instructions for the 1 July 2025 effective date, including the requirement that the RMP include a summary in English and French and use of the RMP summary attestation/acknowledgment form. 3) Ask Regulatory Intelligence/RA to brief PV leadership on the Agile Licensing notice timeline (RMP provisions in force 1 April 2027) and confirm how transitional provisions will be operationalized for existing RMPs submitted prior to that date.
1) Map portfolio to MHRA’s Category 1 vs Category 2/NI MA status referenced in the Windsor Framework PV guidance; 2) Update PSUR submission SOPs/work-instructions and submission trackers to ensure Category 1 PSURs route via the MHRA PSUR portal and Category 2/NI MA PSURs route via the EU PSUR Repository (and confirm when no separate MHRA submission is needed); 3) Re-check related MHRA PV procedure guidance for any additional submission/documentation expectations impacting signals, RMPs and PASS.
