Data indicates that companies often favor Germany when choosing a reference member state (RMS) in order to gain approval under the decentralized procedure, perhaps reflecting overall a fast pace of regulatory review.
Germany brought in new regulations in 2010 allowing pharmaceutical firms to take part in “compassionate use” programs, which allow treatments that have yet to be approved to be used for patients with potential fatal diseases or severe disability. Besides improving transparency, the measure was also meant to improve R&D and the clinical trials environment in Germany, although the industry remains skeptical with regards to its impact.
