In Korea, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) is in charge of regulating pharmaceutical products and services.
Pharmaceutical companies submit a ASL 279 Drug Master File in Korea (ASL 279 KDMF) to the MFDS, which includes comprehensive information about the production, processing, facilities, materials, packaging, and testing of ASL 279. The MFDS reviews the ASL 279 KDMF as part of the drug registration process and uses the information provided in the ASL 279 KDMF to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the drug.
After submitting a ASL 279 KDMF to the MFDS, the registered manufacturer can provide importers or distributors with the registration number without revealing confidential information to Korean business partners. Applicants seeking to register their ASL 279 API can apply through the Korea Drug Master File (KDMF).
