Draft guideline on safety and residue data requirements for pharmaceutical veterinary medicinal products intended for minor use or minor species (MUMS)/limited market - Revision 2
This guideline updates the CVMP Guideline on safety and residue data requirements for veterinary medicinal products intended for minor uses or minor species/ limited market (EMEA/CVMP/SWP/66781/2005 Rev. 1).
In order to stimulate the research, development and innovation of new veterinary medicines intended for minor uses or minor species (MUMS)/limited market the CVMP developed guidelines on data requirements for MUMS/limited market veterinary medicinal products for quality, safety and efficacy for pharmaceuticals and a guideline for immunologicals. These guidelines are intended to reduce data requirements where possible for products classified as MUMS/limited market while still providing assurance of appropriate quality, safety and efficacy and complying with the legislation in place and leading to an overall positive benefit-risk balance for the product.

Concept paper for the revision of the guideline on safety and residue data requirements for pharmaceutical veterinary medicinal products intended for minor use or minor species (MUMS)/limited market
In order to stimulate the development of veterinary medicines intended for minor uses or minor species (MUMS)/limited market the CVMP has developed guidelines on data requirements for MUMS/limited market veterinary medicinal products for quality, safety and efficacy for pharmaceuticals, as well as a guideline for immunologicals. The guideline that focuses on safety requirements for pharmaceuticals includes a section on extrapolation of maximum residue limits (MRLs) from major to minor species.
