Companion Diagnostics (CDx)

CDx Regulatory Landscape in China

CDx in China


The CDx reagents are regulated under IVD in China. Similar to the U.S., China categorizes CDx IVD reagents as high-risk products therefore designates them in Class III.

China NMPA was lagging behind its counterparts in the US and EU (?!) in issuing guidance regulating CDx products. But it is catching up recently. In China, there was no guidance specifically for CDx until NMPA published the “Revisions for instructions for use and technical review of tumor companion diagnostics based on similar therapeutic drugs (Draft)” on July 7, 2020 for public comments. About one month later, NMPA published another guideline for CDx clinical trials, “Clinical Trials Guidelines for Companion Diagnostic Reagents for Approved Anti-tumor Drugs (draft).” In addition, NMPA announced its preparation of “Technical Review Guideline of Clinical Trial for Co-development of CDx Reagents and Anti-tumor Drugs” on June 3rd, 2020.

The increased publication frequency of the CDx guidance in China suggests that NMPA CMDE is starting to pay more attention and intends to provide detailed regulation of CDx products.
