The event was co- hosted by the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) of Ireland and the World Health Organization (WHO). More than 300 delegates from regulatory authorities of WHO Member States participated in the 18th ICDRA. The recommendations as presented at the end of the conference are set out on the following pages. They are reproduced here as provided by the moderators in the closing plenary sessions and finalized following the consultations with the participants. Feedback, particularly from non-participating authorities, is welcome. Several common cross-cutting themes emerged from the discussions. These can be further grouped and consolidated and include e.g. promoting regulatory collaboration, convergence and harmonization throughout the products life cycle; improving coordination, risk-based prioritization of investments, reliance, work- sharing and use of regional networks; promoting greater transparency, awareness and communication; enabling regulatory preparedness for public health emergencies; enabling access to innovative medical products; development of international standards; and provision of technical assistance to support implementation. WHO intends to further develop a more concise iteration of these recommendations in the form of a work plan, integrating any feedback received and ensuring greater alignment and consistency across the various work streams. This work plan will be prepared in 2019, and the outcomes of the deliverables will be presented to the 19th ICDRA in 2020. ► 18th ICDRA website: http://www.icdra2018.ie Information on past ICDRA conferences is available at: www.who.int/medicines/areas/quality_safety/regulation_legislation/icdra/en/ 509 WHO Drug Information Vol. 32, No. 4, 2018 18th ICDRA recommendations THEME: Regulatory collaboration, convergence and harmonization Recommendations to WHO Recommendations to Member States 1. Regulatory collaboration, 1. When sharing assessment or convergence and harmonization inspection reports, Member States activities should incorporate not only should share unredacted reports, initial authorization but also life- where possible, which is important to cycle management and build trust and to optimize reliance on pharmacovigilance. outcomes from other regulators. 2. WHO should provide a toolbox with all the available options for regulatory collaboration, convergence and harmonization and increase awareness to facilitate selection of the appropriate mechanisms by member states. THEME: Certification of Pharmaceutical Products (CPP) Recommendations to WHO 1. WHO should advocate for the use of an electronic CPP template by issuing and receiving authorities to expedite the process and mitigate against any further need for “legalization.” 2. WHO should advocate for the CPP standard procedure specifying that value-added, unredacted documents either accompany the CPP or are provided upon request by any receiving agency. 3. The CPP template should be updated to reflect current manufacturing situations by including: (a) the sites of manufacture with addresses, and (b) a reminder that the receiving country should check that the product being shipped to it is exactly the same as the product being certified by the issuing country. 510 18th ICDRA recommendations WHO Drug Information Vol. 32, No. 4, 2018 THEME: Regulatory preparedness for public health emergencies) Recommendations to WHO Recommendations to Member States 1. WHO should facilitate communication 1. Member States should consider the between stakeholders (manufacturers feasibility of “conditional approvals” for of IVDs, vaccines and therapeutics) and PHE products with strengthened regulators on needs for products, pharmacovigilance and long-term development work and risk assessment monitoring after outbreaks. work. This should be facilitated by WHO setting up a pre-Emergency Use Listing scheme. 2. WHO should encourage the use of regulatory networks such as ICMRA in the case of public health emergencies and should support effective transition from emergency use to in-country approval. THEME: Enabling access to innovative medical products in resource-limited settings Recommendations to WHO Recommendations to Member States 1. WHO is asked to rapidly finalize the 1. While fully recognizing that there are good regulatory practice suite of different languages and different guidance, with a particular focus on regulatory systems, Member States are developing practical advice options, urged to review their current application and best practices to promote dossier formats to ensure that all regulatory collaboration and reliance requirements are scientifically justified for the whole lifecycle management of and better aligned with internationally medical products, both for individual agreed harmonized standards.

WHO is asked to use its position in the various international regulatory harmonization forums to help promote alignment of regulatory application dossier formats, including elimination of unnecessary differences in the national and regional CTD requirements. 511 WHO Drug Information Vol. 32, No. 4, 2018 18th ICDRA recommendations THEME: Benchmarking of Regulatory Systems: towards mature regulatory systems 4.

    Androgen Excess in Breast Cancer Development: Implications for Prevention and Treatment

    26 2 Endocrine-Related G Secreto et al. Androgen excess in breast 26:2 R81–R94 Cancer cancer development REVIEW Androgen excess in breast cancer development: implications for prevention and treatment Giorgio Secreto1, Alessandro Girombelli2 and Vittorio Krogh1 1Epidemiology and Prevention Unit, Fondazione IRCCS – Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Milano, Italy 2Anesthesia and Critical Care Medicine, ASST – Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Niguarda, Milano, Italy Correspondence should be addressed to G Secreto: [email protected] Abstract The aim of this review is to highlight the pivotal role of androgen excess in the Key Words development of breast cancer. Available evidence suggests that testosterone f breast cancer controls breast epithelial growth through a balanced interaction between its two f ER-positive active metabolites: cell proliferation is promoted by estradiol while it is inhibited by f ER-negative dihydrotestosterone. A chronic overproduction of testosterone (e.g. ovarian stromal f androgen/estrogen balance hyperplasia) results in an increased estrogen production and cell proliferation that f androgen excess are no longer counterbalanced by dihydrotestosterone. This shift in the androgen/ f testosterone estrogen balance partakes in the genesis of ER-positive tumors. The mammary gland f estradiol is a modified apocrine gland, a fact rarely considered in breast carcinogenesis. When f dihydrotestosterone stimulated by androgens, apocrine cells synthesize epidermal growth factor (EGF) that triggers the ErbB family receptors. These include the EGF receptor and the human epithelial growth factor 2, both well known for stimulating cellular proliferation. As a result, an excessive production of androgens is capable of directly stimulating growth in apocrine and apocrine-like tumors, a subset of ER-negative/AR-positive tumors.

Chemistry, University of Valladolid, Spain, 2001 Committee Chair: Makram T. Suidan, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The fate of seven steroids: estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), ethinylestradiol (EE2), testosterone (TEST), androstenedione (AND), and progesterone (PROG), in the presence of synthetic wastewater was studied in order to establish the role abiotic processes play in the elimination of these chemicals from the environment. Comprehension of these mechanisms will foster the optimization of the existing wastewater treatment technologies and the development of sustainable alternatives. Distinctive behavior was encountered for the target compounds in accordance with their chemical structure, hence, different physico-chemical properties and reactivity. Estrogenic compounds, comprising E1, E2, E3 and EE2, were found to undergo a catalytic transformation when contacted with a model vegetable material present in the synthetic wastewater.
