The GMO aspects of clinical trials with medicinal products for human use containing or consisting of GMOs are regulated under the deliberate release framework- Part B of Directive 2001/18. A single submission procedure applies to seek authorization under the clinical trials framework and under the GMO framework (submission to Medical Products Agency).

Application forms to seek authorisation for the GMO aspects
There is no formal application form for GMO. Applicants should submit a SNIF and an ERA according to Directive 2001/18.

Public consultation
The ERA and SNIF is referred to members of the Swedish GMO network. The referral time is 30 days. In total, the maximum approval time for a clinical trial including a GMO is 90 days. A short summary about the trial (non-confidential information) is also published on the MPA webpage.
