Marketing Authorisation Application

Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) is an application submitted by a drug manufacturer seeking marketing authorisation, that is permission to bring a medicinal product (for example, a new medicine or generic medicine) to the market.

MAA is part of the official procedure before the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency in the United Kingdom[1] and the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency, a specialised agency of the European Commission. In the United States, the equivalent process is called New Drug Application.
