Following the training session held on 12 November 2024, EMA is organising pre-go-live Q&A Clinics to answer any open questions from Marketing Authorisation Holders on the transition of EMA-led post-authorisation procedures to IRIS.

Background
In January 2025, the following EMA-led procedures will transition to IRIS for all Centrally Authorised Products (CAPs) (and involved non-CAPs) for procedures submitted on/ after 20 December 2024 via the current submission systems (i.e. Gateway and PSUR repository):

  • Post-Authorisation Measures
  • Line Extensions
  • Renewals
  • Annual Reassessments
  • Post-Authorisation Safety Studies/Post-Marketing Surveillance Studies
  • Referrals

The first transition of post-authorisation procedures to IRIS took place on 23 January 2024, onboarding variations, Article 61.3 notifications, and marketing authorisation (MA) transfer procedures for a subset of human and veterinary CAPs with low regulatory complexity. 
Note: Periodic Safety Update Reports will transition to IRIS with the procedures starting on the 6 February 2025 and onwards as per PSUR procedural timetable published on EMA website.
