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.
Manufacturers and sponsors are now required to comply with established safety and performance standards for medicinal cannabis vaping devices as outlined in the TGA guidance.
Compliance with these standards is essential for ensuring the safety and efficacy of medicinal cannabis vaping devices, thereby enhancing post-market safety monitoring efforts.
Manufacturers must generate and maintain scientific, engineering, and clinical evidence demonstrating that their devices meet the Essential Principles for Safety and Performance.
Regulatory Intelligence Lead
Review in the next regulatory intelligence cycle.
Outlines expectations for meeting Essential Principles; consolidates references to relevant industry standards for safety and performance of medicinal cannabis vaping devices.
Manufacturers and sponsors must ensure that medicinal cannabis vaping devices comply with the outlined safety and performance standards, which is critical for medical device vigilance and post-market safety monitoring.
Manufacturers must generate and maintain scientific, engineering, and clinical evidence demonstrating that their devices meet the Essential Principles for Safety and Performance.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has released guidance detailing expectations for manufacturers and sponsors of medicinal cannabis vaping devices to ensure adherence to Essential Principles of Safety and Performance. This document aims to assist sponsors in understanding the necessary evidence and industry standards required for compliance, although it does not introduce new regulatory requirements. It is critical for medical device vigilance and post-market safety monitoring.
What changed: Manufacturers and sponsors are now required to comply with established safety and performance standards for medicinal cannabis vaping devices as outlined in the TGA guidance.
Why it matters: Compliance with these standards is essential for ensuring the safety and efficacy of medicinal cannabis vaping devices, thereby enhancing post-market safety monitoring efforts.
Practical implication: Manufacturers must generate and maintain scientific, engineering, and clinical evidence demonstrating that their devices meet the Essential Principles for Safety and Performance.

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.
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.
