About FDA
FDA-EMA Tracking Database
Description: Database of Information Sharing (tracking) with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) - Track interactions (meetings, conference calls, exchange of confidential material) between FDA and EMA to better analyze the type of information exchanged and the frequency by several parameters (e.g., pediatrics, oncology, parallel scientific advice, orphan drugs, veterinary medicines, etc.). The database will allow us to refine the interactions to make them more efficient and timely, thereby increasing the public health impact of the exchanges.
OIP’s key projects are ongoing but will no longer be tracked in FDA-TRACK. Going forward, on a rotating schedule, the Foreign Offices will summarize their efforts related to outreach, technical assistance, capacity-building, relationship-building, etc. during the Quarterly FDA-TRACK Briefing. The notes from their reports will be documented in the Quarterly Briefing Summary on the FDA-TRACK webpage.
