Allocation of time slots (DCP)
In order to best meet applicants’ requests for specified submission dates and to optimise our own use of time and resources, future applicants are advised to request time slots for their application(s) within a reasonable time prior to the proposed application date, however max. 1 year before the desired submission date.
Time slots will only be allocated to applications for new marketing authorisations (including line extensions) through the decentralised procedure (DCP) where Denmark is acting as reference member state (RMS).
Other types of marketing authorisation applications can, unless otherwise indicated, be submitted without a time slot agreement.
Current status
Time slots may be requested at any time, but there is a limit to how far in the future you will be able to request a time slot. This limit is 1 year ahead, as we experience a number of cancellations from applicants when slots are given with a longer time horizon.
Time slots are allocated on a “first come first served” basis. If the requested time slot is not available, we will suggest a suitable alternative.
General information about time slots
Time slot requests for any given period must be submitted by interested applicants to the Danish Medicines Agency.
- Requests should be made by filling in the form: Request for RMS in a decentralised procedure medicinal products for human use. For medicinal products for veterinary use the form Request for RMS in a decentralised procedure, medicinal products for veterinary use should be filled in. Send an email with the completed form as an attachment. We aim to process your request within 14 days of receipt.
- The enclosed form must contain all relevant details.
- To avoid double bookings and to ensure as reasonable a distribution of time slots as possible, we reserve the right to exchange the submitted request information and awarded time slots with medicines agencies from other potential Reference Member States.
Mutual recognition procedures (MRP) including repeat use procedures (RUP) /subsequent recognition procedure (SRP) with Denmark as RMS
It is no longer necessary to request a time slot for these procedures. The applicant should be aware that before starting such a procedure, the Danish Medicines Agency is required to update the assessment report. The expected time for these updates can be obtained using the contact details below.
