MHRA Largest Seizure of Unlicensed Weight Loss Medicines
Review adverse event reports for potential links to counterfeit weight loss medicines; check product supply chain for unlicensed sources.
2 SOPs may need review
Safety, regulatory, device, AI/GxP and compliance updates with role-specific action guidance for QPPV, Signal, Labeling, PV Ops and Device Vigilance.
Review adverse event reports for potential links to counterfeit weight loss medicines; check product supply chain for unlicensed sources.
2 SOPs may need review
Review product inventory for Tawon Liar; report any adverse events to FDA MedWatch; consider adding product to signal monitoring list; ensure labeling compliance checks for similar products.
2 SOPs may need review
Immediately quarantine and return unused MonaTherm probes from affected lots; review patient records for potential exposure and adverse events.
2 SOPs may need review
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).
6 SOPs may need review
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from the overview (e.g., RMP note to reviewer, Canadian-specific addendum, RMP summary template) and map deltas vs the superseded 2015 approach. 2) Update Canada submission checklists/work instructions for the 1 July 2025 effective date, including the requirement that the RMP include a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.
5 SOPs may need review
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.
8 SOPs may need review
Safety lead to: (1) perform a UK-clinical-trial safety reporting gap assessment against MHRA’s effective guidance sections (MedDRA coding; AE/SAE; RSI governance; SUSARs; annual safety reporting; USMs; serious breaches; temporary suspension), (2) update controlled SOPs/WIs and training records to reflect “effective” status as of 28 Apr 2026, and (3) document deviations/gaps and open CAPA where needed for ongoing UK trials and new submissions.
4 SOPs may need review
Ask the safety/device vigilance and PV CSV leads to: (1) confirm whether any marketed/fielded SaMD/AIaMD uses adaptive ML or planned updates that would fit a PCCP-like approach; (2) review current change-control SOPs and technical documentation to ensure change governance and transparency artifacts are captured and retrievable; (3) verify post-market/vigilance processes explicitly account for algorithm updates (e.g., monitoring after updates, escalation criteria).
