Submit a Drug for pCODR Review

Our pan-Canadian Oncology Drug Review (pCODR) brings consistency and clarity to the assessment of drugs in Canada. pCODR reviews clinical, economic, and patient evidence, and uses this information to make non-binding recommendations to Canada's public drug plans to support their drug funding decisions.

This section of cda-amc.ca is relevant to drug manufacturers and tumour groups submitting a request to us for a pCODR review. A summary of the pCODR process, complete with the documentation required to make a drug submission, can be found in the Process in Brief section. You can also find quick links to pCODR documentation under Guidelines, Procedures, and Templates.

Registering

Before submitting a request for a pCODR drug review, manufacturers and tumour groups must register with the pCODR program. This will provide access to a secure Submit and Contribute page and enable the electronic delivery of documents to us.

Preparing a Submission

Please ensure that you are proceeding according to the requirements of the full pCODR Procedures; pCODR Pre-Submission, Submission, and Resubmission Guidelines; and other supplemental materials, and not solely according to the Process in Brief. Additionally, please do not download and archive any pCODR documentation, as it is subject to change. Always use the up-to-date version of documents posted on cda-amc.ca.

Pre-submission information is required by the pCODR program in order to optimize the submission planning and review process. A Submitter will be required to complete and file the Pre-submission Information Requirements Form at least 120 calendar days before the anticipated date of filing the complete Submission or Resubmission; the pre-submission information form must be completed by using the online forms available at:

• pCODR Pre-submission Information Requirements Form – Submissions
  must be registered with pCODR to view form
• pCODR Pre-submission Information Requirements Form – Resubmissions
  must be registered with pCODR to view form
