In the field of personalized medicine there are those treatments aimed at the
individual needs of patients, often based on genetic, biomarker, phenotypic, or
psychosocial characteristics that distinguish a given patient from other patients with
similar presentations in similar clinics. In this context, master formulas are born.
However, submitting and evaluating marketing authorization, maintaining Good
Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and checking the bulk production of these
formulations requires extensive resources from the pharmaceutical industry and
regulatory authorities, which can vary widely from one country to another. The
purpose of this paper is to carry out a comparative analysis between European and
American legislation on master formulas, both for human and animal use. This
analysis also implies delving into the current and consecrated regulatory
framework of Spanish legislation. An exhaustive review of the literature has been
carried out, including sources of scientific rigor and indexed journals. As a result, a
complete corpus has been built on the legal, conceptual, regulatory, and
differentiating aspects of master formulas, both for human and animal use. This
corpus includes current European, American, and Spanish legislation. The
contribution that master formulas have had in the field of palliative care for patients
with terminal illnesses has also been addressed. Finally, the significance of strictly
adhering to current European (and Spanish) legislation is emphasized; this way,
we can avoid causing real harm to patients and their access to individual medicine.
