Marketing Authorization Application

A Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) is a formal request submitted by a pharmaceutical company to regulatory authorities, such as the FDA or EMA, seeking permission to market a new medicine or vaccine. It includes detailed information about the product's safety, effectiveness, manufacturing processes, and quality. The authorities review this data to ensure the product meets safety standards and is effective for its intended use. Once approved, the company can legally sell and distribute the medicine to patients. The process helps protect public health by confirming that new medicines are safe and beneficial before they reach the market.
