The Prix Galien Canada – Product Innovation Award

Eligibility

The Prix Galien Canada – Innovative Product Award will be presented to a drug, launched at least 12 months ago and no more than 60 months (5 years) ago, that has made the most significant overall contribution to patient care in Canada, according to the Jury of Prix Galien Canada.

• The product is considered a “break-through” rather than a derivative of an already existing agent

2. Restoring, correcting or modifying organic functions in humans or animals;
3. Disinfection in premises in which food is manufactured, prepared or kept.
4. The drug product must bear a Drug Identification Number (D.I.N.)

Summary

The Prix Galien Canada – Innovative Product Award is presented every year to the company that has developed a drug product launched on the Canadian market and judged by the Jury to have made the most significant overall contribution to patient care in Canada in terms of efficacy, safety, benefits and innovation.
