A risk management plan (RMP) describes the current knowledge about the safety and efficacy of a medicinal product and provides key information on plans for studies and other activities to gain more knowledge about the safety and efficacy of the medicine.

It also describes measures to be undertaken to prevent or minimize risks associated with the use of the product and effectiveness of those measures. The MAHs are required to submit RMP to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) when applying for a marketing authorization.

The overall aim of risk management is to ensure that the benefits of a particular medicinal product exceed the risks by the greatest achievable margin. The primary aim and focus of the RMP remains that of

appropriate risk management planning throughout a medicinal product’s life cycle. The risk management system shall be proportionate to the identified risks and the potential risks of the medicinal product, and the need for post-authorization safety data. The RMP is a dynamic document that should be updated throughout the life cycle of the product(s).
