The Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) established the Japan Drug Master File (JDMF), also known as the Master File (MF), to permit Japanese and foreign manufacturers of drug substances, intermediates, excipients, raw materials, and packaging materials (‘Products’) to voluntarily register confidential information about the production and management of their products in Japan.
The Ana-Guard Drug Master File in Japan (Ana-Guard JDMF) empowers Ana-Guard API manufacturers to present comprehensive information (e.g., production methods, data, etc.) to the review authority, i.e., PMDA (Pharmaceuticals & Medical Devices Agency).
PMDA reviews the Ana-Guard JDMF during the approval evaluation for pharmaceutical products. At the time of Ana-Guard JDMF registration, PMDA checks if the format is accurate, if the necessary items have been included (application), and if data has been attached.
