Notice of veterinary drugs master file updates and fees consultation
The Health Products and Food Branch (HPFB) will be updating master file (MF) registration as a part of the continuing effort to implement a common intake approach for all drug product lines, including veterinary drugs. MF holders and applicants using MFs to support veterinary drug submissions will need to submit MF transactions via the Common Electronic Submission Gateway (CESG) using an application form in XML (Extensible Markup Language) format. This update is consistent with the transition of human drug MF application form to a web-based form effective June 26, 2023.
Additionally, HPFB is consulting on a proposal to implement fees for MFs for veterinary drugs, to align them with the existing MF fee structure for human drugs. Comments on the MF fees proposal will close on August 12, 2023.
Both changes for veterinary drugs are proposed to go into effect on January 2, 2024.
Important information
Using a web-based form to encode the MF’s content
- allows a single process for submitting information
- removes file size limitations imposed by other communication methods, such as email
- enhances accuracy, consistency and reliability of the information captured in Health Canada systems
This form will have to be included with every Electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD) and non-eCTD transaction that is sent via the CESG.
HPFB will make a web-based template available. It will generate an XML file upon completion.
For more information on the required MF format and CESG refer to the
- Guidance document: Preparation of regulatory activities in non-eCTD format
- Guidance document: Preparation of regulatory activities in eCTD format (available upon request via email at no-reply.ereview.non-reponse@hc-sc.gc.ca)
HPFB will continue to keep confidential business information confidential in accordance with applicable law, including the Access to Information Act and the Food and Drugs Act.
Updates to process
This transition will harmonize the MF processes for human and veterinary drugs. Therefore, HPFB will update the existing master file guidance for human drugs to expand the scope to include veterinary drugs. HPFB will publish the updated guidance in advance of any change.
Fees consultation
MF registration is a non-regulatory activity service provided by HPFB. It offers a mechanism for giving confidential business information to Health Canada that isn’t available to
- the applicant of a drug submission
- the manufacturer of the dosage form
To recover the costs associated with registering and maintaining MFs, HPFB will charge existing MF fees for veterinary MF-related activities. There are different fees for new MF registrations, MF updates and MF letters of access.
Fee | 2023–24 fee amount (Canadian dollars) |
---|---|
New master files (file registration) | 1,351 |
Drug master files — Letter of access | 192 |
Drug master files — Update | 587 |
HPFB will increase these fees by 2% annually on April 1. The adjusted fees will be published in the annual Health Canada fees report and on the Health Canada website.
Current service standards (30 calendar days) will be maintained for these MFs.
HPFB will not charge the file registration fee for existing MFs; however, applicable fees will be charged for all letters of access or updates as of January 2, 2024.
The fees consultation will be open for 70 days and will close on August 12, 2023. Comments can be submitted to CRO-BRC@hc-sc.gc.ca.
For more information on the current MF procedures and administrative requirements for veterinary drugs, please consult the guidance document.
