National Medical Products Administration released the Special provisions on the administration of registration of traditio-nal Chinese medicine(TCM) in February 2023, encouraging high-quality human use experience(HUE) study in TCM clinical practice to obtain sufficient evidence for TCM registration support. The provisions suggested that the HUE study should meet the relevant requirements and accept the drug registration verification. This paper aims to standardize the HUE study, obtain high-quality HUE data to support registration applications, and promote the standardization of research. In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of the state and the requirements of the technical guidelines for the HUE study in the drug review center of the National Medical Products Administration, the clinical characteristics of TCM were considered, and the Clinical Evaluation Committee of Traditional Chinese Me-dicine of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association organized and formulated the Guidelines for quality control of human use experience study on traditional Chinese medicine,including the conditions of medical institutions carrying out HUE study, researchers, sponsors, key information and requirements of pharmacy, research programs, key points of ethical review, requirements of the research implementation process, risk management, and subject protection of HUE study. After several rounds of consultation with experts, a guideline document suitable for supporting drug registration and guiding HUE study on TCM was finally formed.
