Scientific discussion The applicable section(s) and subheading(s) should be completed. For further instruction on how to complete the non clinical and clinical aspects, please refer to the CHMP initial MA guidance template. Note : Occasionally, in case of extensive clinical data submitted within the extension of indication variation application, a separate clinical assessment report can be prepared in addition to this report similarly to Initial Marketing authorisation procedures. For claimed indications that are not planned to be approved by the CHMP (even if a positive opinion is foreseen i.e. update of SmPC section 5.1. instead of section 4.1), sufficient details should be given so as to allow an understanding of the reasons for not approving such indications. Following assessment of the responses to a Request for Supplementary Information, the scientific discussion should be updated as appropriate with the relevant information. 2.1. Introduction A brief statement on the medicinal product and pharmacotherapeutic action, problem statement and rationale for the proposed change including aspects of developments (scientific advice, paediatric investigation plan, orphan indication…) should be provided here. 2.2. <Non-clinical aspects> If no non-clinical data is submitted in the application, the statement below should be added: No new clinical data have been submitted in this application, which was considered acceptable by the CHMP. If new non-clinical data is submitted in the application see below recommendations: In general, the applicable section(s) and subheading(s) of the initial MA guidance template should be followed for the non-clinical aspects. Note that headings are optional and should be used as applicable, (e.g. carcinogenicity, juvenile animal studies, local tolerance..) <Invented Name> <Co->Rapporteur><Joint rapporteur><extension of indication variation <group of variations including an extension of indication> <updated> assessment report Rev.04.14 Page 7/33 2.2.1. <Introduction> Summarise briefly the non-clinical data (e.g. previously submitted and assessed in previous applications)from the EPAR/SmPC as appropriate. Only sections relevant to the data submitted should be detailed. Mention should be given on how the updated information is reflected in the SmPC. Following assessment of the responses to a Request for Supplementary Information, the scientific discussion should be updated as appropriate with the relevant information. 2.2.2. <Pharmacology> <Primary pharmacodynamic studies> <Secondary pharmacodynamic studies> <Safety pharmacology programme> <Pharmacodynamic drug interactions> 2.2.3. <Pharmacokinetics> 2.2.4. <Toxicology> <Single dose toxicity> <Repeat dose toxicity> <Genotoxicity> <Carcinogenicity> <Reproduction toxicity> <Toxicokinetic data> <Local tolerance> <Other toxicity studies> 2.2.5. Ecotoxicity/environmental risk assessment Where applicable, environmental risk studies should be included and assessed with extensions of indication, unless justified according to the current ERA guideline (CPMP/SWP/4447/00). As a principle, the initial MA CHMP AR guidance should be followed to complete this section. <Invented Name> <Co->Rapporteur><Joint rapporteur><extension of indication variation <group of variations including an extension of indication> <updated> assessment report Rev.04.14 Page 8/33 The assessment should provide an update on the risks of the product for the environment focussing on the changes in the use of the product in relation to this application. In case of Request for Supplementary Information proposed, the scientific discussion should be updated as appropriate with the relevant information. If updated/new tests are performed, the ERA summary table should be provided here only for these data (refer to initial guidance template for initial MAA). 2.2.6. <Discussion on non-clinical aspects> The discussion should address primarily the non-clinical data submitted in the application. Where relevant, reference to existing non clinical data could be provided here. E.g. Any difference of the existing non clinical data (ie new target organ, new toxicity, different safety margin due to higher strength should be highlighted for example) should be mentioned in the discussion. Ensure correspondence with amendment of SmPC where relevant (particularly 5.3 Preclinical safety data but also other sections as appropriate). In situations, where there is absence or lack of information, this could be stated in the SmPC. In case of Request for Supplementary Information proposed, the scientific discussion should be updated as appropriate with the relevant information (eg update of toxicity results, juvenile animal study results…). <Assessment of paediatric data on non-clinical aspects> 2.2.7. <Conclusion on the non-clinical aspects> Please choose the appropriate proposal in relation to the ERA assessment The updated data submitted in this application <do not>lead to a significant increase in environmental exposure further to the use of <active substance>. Please choose one of the following options below: - Considering the above data, <active substance> is not expected to pose a risk to the environment. - Considering the above data, <active substance> should be used according to the precautions stated in the SPC in order to minimize any potential risks to the environment.

Discussion on clinical safety Any new safety concern arising from the new population should be highlighted and discussed in this section. A summary of the full safety profile for all indications could be envisaged highlighting differences where appropriate. (eg, different safety profile in the paediatric population). Following assessment of the responses to a Request for Supplementary Information, the scientific discussion should be updated as appropriate with the relevant information. The summary of the safety profile should be consistent with the important identified risks mentioned in the Safety Specification of the Risk management plan. Any new risk identified from the updated application should be fist discussed in the safety section and also mentioned in the RMP section. It should also be highlighted if the <Invented Name> <Co->Rapporteur><Joint rapporteur><extension of indication variation <group of variations including an extension of indication> <updated> assessment report Rev.04.14 Page 17/33 medicinal product did not have an RMP previously and an RMP is firstly introduced in this application. Conclusion on what key finding should be reflected in the SPC, the RMP, what key findings or uncertainties should be reflected in the benefitrisk assessment. The need for additional post marketing studies to be considered as an obligation should be discussed as appropriate. Justification as to why these data are considered as post approval data not precluding granting of an authorisation should be elaborated. <Additional expert consultations> <Assessment of paediatric data on clinical safety> 2.5.3. <Conclusions on clinical safety> Any new safety concern arising from the new population, as appropriate should be provided here in relation to the known safety profile of the drug. Following assessment of the responses to a Request for Supplementary Information, the scientific discussion should be updated as appropriate with the relevant information. If need for additional post marketing studies to be considered as an obligation. This should be summarised here with rationale as to why these data are requested as post approval data not precluding granting of an authorisation. Obligation to complete post-authorisation measures: In a limited number of cases, in the context of a standard MA safety related data that are considered as “key” to the benefit risk balance in the new indication may be requested as a condition of the MA. In case safety issues have been identified for inclusion in Annex II , 127a, asconditions, use the following statement. Any measure identified as a condition needs to be well motivated in the CHMP AR, notably the need for a condition should be explained in the context of a positive benefit/risk balance: <The CHMP considers the following measures necessary to address issues related to safety:> 2.5.4. PSUR cycle Mention here if the PSUR cycle needs to be amended or not based on the data submitted in the application or the new population in which the product is proposed to be used including a rationale.

A completed PIP is a prerequisite for the need of this assessment and conclusion. 1- PIP containing only studies completed before 26 January 2007 -> NOT subject of assessment of significance of studies (and not entitled for the reward); No need of this section in the CHMP AR. 2- PIP containing at least one study initiated after 26 January 2007-> by default this study is considered ‘significant’ and NO need for the assessment of the significance of any other study(ies) included in the PIP; No need of this section in the CHMP AR. 3- PIP containing only studies completed before 26 January 2007 AND/OR studies initiated before this date but completed after -> only the studies which were initiated before this date and completed after should be considered for assessment of the significance of studies; This section is needed in the CHMP AR. The CHMP is of the opinion that <study(ies) identifier>, which <is><are> contained in the agreed Paediatric Investigation Plan, which is <completed> <not yet completed>, and <has><have> been completed after 26 January 2007, <is> <are> <not> considered as significant. Where the significance of studies has to be assessed and there is a positive outcome, provide a brief summary of the studies considered significant and a concise justification according to the criteria of the guideline Where the significance of studies has to be assessed and there is a negative outcome, this section should be extended to provide a more detailed justification. Only in case the CHMP denies conformity with the agreed PIP, whereas the compliance check performed by the PDCO was positive, add the following sentence (this may be due to unexpected aspects not obvious at time of the compliance check performed by the PDCO (e.g. inspection finding, discrepancy in the number of patients, etc)): The CHMP concluded that <study(ies) identifier> <is><are> not in conformity with the agreed Paediatric Investigation Plan as set out in Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006. The detailed grounds for the non-conformity conclusion are as follows: In case this section is needed, a detailed justification should be provided. <Invented Name> <Co->Rapporteur><Joint rapporteur><extension of indication variation <group of variations including an extension of indication> <updated> assessment report Rev.04.14 Page 22/33 3. Benefit-risk balance [Include here a critical review of the data underlining the proposed extension of indication request and its impact on the benefit risk balance of the product.] Following assessment of the responses to a Request for Supplementary Information, the Benefit Risk balance should be updated as appropriate with the relevant information. Benefits Beneficial effects Uncertainty in the knowledge about the beneficial effects Risks Unfavourable effects Uncertainty in the knowledge about the unfavourable effects Benefit-risk balance Importance of favourable and unfavourable effects Benefit-risk balance Discussion on the benefit-risk balance Note regarding Obligation to complete post-authorisation measures: In a limited number of cases, data that are considered as “key” to the benefit risk balance of the new indication may be requested as a condition of the MA. It should be made clear why there is a need for a condition(s) as a part of annex II in the context of this variation for a new indication that does not preclude the recommendation of a positive benefit risk balance. In case issues have been identified for inclusion in Annex II as conditions, use the following statement. Any measure identified as a condition needs to be well motivated in the CHMP AR, notably the need for a condition should be explained in the context of a positive benefit/risk balance. <The CHMP considers the following measures necessary <to address the nonclinical issues> <to address the issues related to pharmacology> <to address issues related to efficacy> <to address issues related to safety>:> [In case of safety-related requests by the CHMP (i.e. cumulative safety review to be submitted), please include the following sentence:] <Invented Name> <Co->Rapporteur><Joint rapporteur><extension of indication variation <group of variations including an extension of indication> <updated> assessment report Rev.04.14 Page 23/33 <In addition, the CHMP considered that the applicant should submit the following safety data <within X months> <the next PSUR>:> 4.
