According to the existing Provisions for Drug Registration (SFDA Order No. 28), applications for new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine are divided into two parts: the applications for drug clinical trial and for drug production (including new drug certificate). It will last for about 10 years from the application for drug clinical trial to get approving, and it also remains many problems and the low probability to succeed. From the sight of pharmaceutical review, there are mainly two aspects of regulatory compliance and technical issues, mainly for changes without approval of the competent authorities of the country. For example, sample preparation and approval of clinical trial process are significant changes. Technical problems are reporting incomplete data or information submitted does not comply with the technical requirements for review, such as: production process validation does not provide information, the preparation of samples for clinical trials and field inspection, production information, or the information provided does not meet the technical requirements. This paper summarizes the frequently asked questions and to make recommendations to advise applicants concerned, timely detection of problems, avoid risk, improving the quality and efficiency of the application for registration.

ABSTRACT:Objective To a rare case of double primary cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma with gallbladder)to guide clinical application.Methods and Results We reported one case of primary hepatocellular carcinoma and gallbladder.A male patient,54 years old,had main complaints of intermittent right upper quadrant pain for 4 days. The abdominal CT of the local county hospital showed gallstones,gallbladder with liver infiltration.And then he went to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University for further treatment.Laboratory examination revealed:HBsAg(+),HBcAb(+),alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)> 60 500 ng/mL,carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) 5.25 ng/mL.Abdominal CT showed hilar slightly stronger light echo groups:liver cancer or gallbladder cancer? Hepatic artery and portal vein CT imaging (CTA+CTV)examination showed the malignant tumor shadow in the inside of the left hepatic lobe huge,uneven thickening of the gallbladder wall,suspected liver disease with gallbladder infringement or gallbladder disease with liver infringement. With the preoperative preliminary consideration of primary liver cancer with infiltration of the gallbladder,we chose the operation as the resection of segment Ⅳ b and Ⅴ of the liver,cholecystectomy and T tube drainage.Pathological examination postoperative showed the bulky liver carcinoma grade Ⅲ and the poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of gallbladder.A month later,abdominal CT showed the tumor spread intrahepatic,prompting the poor prognosis.Conclusion The two which are not continuous,which is the standard of double primary cancer,are not suitable for all double primary cancers.This case provides useful experience for future similar diagnosis and treatment of disease,and also helps us with timely and accurate identification of “metastatic”or “primary”,which is the key point for clinicians to give patients an effective treatment.
