"principale" poses a problem too because it has an "e" on the end

In that case

Main marketing authorisation

In the US - at least - drugs are "approved" by the FDA. When drugs are authorized for marketing, we call this "approval"

French term (edited): Autorisation de mise sur le marché principale

Autorisation de mise sur le marché = regulation of therapeutic goods
(translation by Wiki – the French Wiki toggles to the English Wiki:
FR: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autorisation_de_mise_sur_le_mar...
EN: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_therapeutic_goods

For "principale" in this context, I might use "general"

Putting it together, my suggestion for this context would be:

approval for widespread use

The medical experts may come up with something better... :-/

In the meantime, here are some English language references for the phrase "approval for widespread use":

Every day, scientists work to discover new and better ways to treat cancer. But before new drugs or treatments are given approval for widespread use, they generally must undergo a clinical trial.

This is the farthest any malaria vaccine has come: just one stage from possible approval for widespread use.

The goal of the feasibility study that will be executed at Wake Forest Baptist, as well as University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), will be to demonstrate the safety and tolerability of the DigniCapTM system, which is in clinical use throughout Europe, Canada and Japan.
This feasibility study is the first step in the process required for gaining FDA approval for widespread use of the device in the United States.
