RPI contact person

How can we change the contact person for an RPI (same company, the current one has just retired).

Please note that questions from users should be submitted in the other Forum, General Discussion and self-help · IRIS. As detailed in this Forum description, the "What's New in IRIS" Forum is intended for the announcement of new features in IRIS and communication from EMA to applicants.

In reply to your request: at present, the contact person for an RPI can be changed only in the course of a new submission, such as a new Scientific Advice, Orphan designation or Paediatric procedure. The functionality to allow direct update on the RPI record is planned but not developed yet. While not mandatory, a workaround to change the RPI contact person is to create a "dummy" new draft submission of the above categories, update the RPI data in the specific tab (including the RPI contact person), and save the tab: this will push the new data to the RPI record. It is then possible to just delete the incomplete draft submission in the portal.
