Schedule Y pertains to New drug.
However Appendix XXXIII, clinical trial registry specifies that
all interventional trials should be registered. (All interventional
clinical trials conducted in India and involving Indian
participants need to be registered. An interventional clinical
trial is any research study that prospectively assigns people to
one or more health related interventions (e.g., preventive care,
drugs, surgical procedure, behavioural treatments, etc) to
evaluate their effects on health related outcomes. Thus, early
and late trials, trials of marketed or non marketed products,
randomized or non randomized trials - all should be
registered.)
Appendix XXXVIV, GCP guidelines for clinical trials in India
and
Appendix XXXVIII, Guidelines for BA/BE studies define
Clinical Trial (Clinical study) as a systematic study of
pharmaceutical product on human subject(s) - (whether
patients or non-patient volunteer) - in order to discover or
verify
the
clinical,
pharmacological
(including
pharmacodynamic/
pharmacokinetics),
and/or
adverse
effects, with the object of determining their safety and/or
efficacy.
