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.
Mandatory submission of non-clinical study data in SEND format is established for new authorisation applications for NAS, effective 15 June 2026.
This change aims to standardize the initial safety data submitted in marketing authorisation dossiers, facilitating faster safety reviews and aligning with global standards such as those from the FDA and PMDA.
Ensure all relevant teams are prepared to transition to the mandatory SEND format for data submissions by the effective date of 15 June 2026.

Review before 2026-06-15.
Mandatory use of SEND format for non-clinical safety data in marketing authorisation dossiers.
Ensures that initial safety data submitted in dossiers is standardized, facilitating faster safety reviews and alignment with global standards (FDA/PMDA). Affects the preparation of the clinical trial and marketing application dossiers.
Ensure all relevant teams are prepared to transition to the mandatory SEND format for data submissions by the effective date of 15 June 2026.
Swissmedic has announced that beginning on 15 June 2026, it will be mandatory to submit non-clinical study data in SEND format for new authorisation applications concerning human medicinal products with new active substances, particularly if submission to the FDA is planned or has already been made.
What changed: Mandatory submission of non-clinical study data in SEND format is established for new authorisation applications for NAS, effective 15 June 2026.
Why it matters: This change aims to standardize the initial safety data submitted in marketing authorisation dossiers, facilitating faster safety reviews and aligning with global standards such as those from the FDA and PMDA.
Practical implication: Ensure all relevant teams are prepared to transition to the mandatory SEND format for data submissions by the effective date of 15 June 2026.

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.
