Updates on ISO 14155 and N=1 Therapeutics Discussed by TGA
Investigators need to modify trial protocols and safety reporting mechanisms in line with the latest ISO 14155 updates to ensure compliance for upcoming high-risk clinical trials.
Primary source: European Medicines Agency (EMA)
EMA released an update to Appendix 1 of the nitrosamines referral, setting revised acceptable intake limits for nitrosamine impurities in human medicinal products.
Nitrosamine impurities are potential carcinogens; updated limits ensure patient safety and require manufacturers to reassess and control impurity levels in their products.
Manufacturers must verify that their products meet the newly established acceptable intake levels for nitrosamines and implement necessary quality control measures to keep impurities within limits.

Manufacturers must ensure that nitrosamine impurities do not exceed the updated acceptable intake levels.
Manufacturers must verify that their products meet the newly established acceptable intake levels for nitrosamines and implement necessary quality control measures to keep impurities within limits.
EMA updated the acceptable intake levels for nitrosamine impurities in human medicines, establishing new limits that manufacturers must comply with to control these impurities.
What changed: EMA released an update to Appendix 1 of the nitrosamines referral, setting revised acceptable intake limits for nitrosamine impurities in human medicinal products.
Why it matters: Nitrosamine impurities are potential carcinogens; updated limits ensure patient safety and require manufacturers to reassess and control impurity levels in their products.
Practical implication: Manufacturers must verify that their products meet the newly established acceptable intake levels for nitrosamines and implement necessary quality control measures to keep impurities within limits.

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.
Sponsors and MAHs must review and align safety data collection and reporting protocols with the newly adopted guidelines while preparing for implementation of PRAC recommendations stemming from this meeting.
Healthcare facilities must utilize the new checklist during inspections to conduct gap analyses and ensure compliance with reporting requirements associated with their vigilance systems.
