Timeframe: The conditional period is typically set at 5 to 7 years, depending on the complexity of the device and the agreed-upon Risk Management Plan (RMP).Extension vs. Revocation: The 2026 framework is strictly enforced. If you fail to submit the data requested by the deadline, the MHLW has the authority to revoke the approval. However, "Secondary Extensions" are rare and a formal consultation with PMDA at least 6-12 months before the expiration date is suggested. You would need to demonstrate "Good Faith Efforts" and provide interim data showing that the safety profile remains positive despite the delays in efficacy confirmation.

Under the 2026 PMD Act framework, what is the maximum duration for the 'conditional' period for a Class IV life-sustaining device? If we are unable to complete the post-market clinical follow-up within the specified timeframe due to external factors (e.g., a change in the standard of care), can we apply for a secondary extension, or will the marketing authorization be automatically revoked?
