Abstract:OBJECTIVE To analyze the implementation of the real-time review of drug application system in the United States and provide a reference for the reform of the drug registration review system in China. METHODS Through the literature and case studies, the article analyzed the framework, implementation process, and effectiveness of the FDA's real-time review of drug application system. RESULTS It is found that the system includes real-time oncology review (RTOR) and assessment aid (AAid). RTOR provides a standardized data analysis process and the steps of "pre-submission" and "pre-analysis", while AAid is based on the FDA multidisciplinary review template. By the end of 2019, 27 projects have been approved through the system. CONCLUSION Druing the reforming process of drug review system in China, it is recommended to strengthen the top-level design of policies, explore diversified special review methods, and actively promote data standardization and communication and interaction, so as to improve the review efficiency and accelerate the marketing of medicines with clinical value.
