In both Phase 2 and 3, CDER can impose a clinical hold if a study is unsafe (as in Phase 1), or if the protocol is clearly deficient in design in meeting its stated objectives.

Be informative and accurate and neither promotional in tone nor false or misleading. On January 24, 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued final regulations governing the content and format of PI for human prescription drugs.

This decision must be forwarded within 60 calendar days after the NDA is initially received by CDER.
A surrogate endpoint is a laboratory finding or physical sign that may not be a direct measurement of how a patient feels, functions, or survives, but is still considered likely to predict therapeutic benefit for the patient.
Accelerated development/review ( Federal Register, April 15, 1992) is a highly specialized mechanism for speeding the development of drugs that promise significant benefit over existing therapy for serious or life-threatening illnesses for which no therapy exist s. This process incorporates several novel elements aimed at making sure ...
In animal testing, drug companies make every effort to use as few animals as possible and to ensure their humane and proper care. Generally, two or more species (one rodent, one non-rodent) are tested because a drug may affect one species differently from another. Animal testing is used to measure how much of a drug is absorbed into the blood, how it is broken down chemically in the body, the toxicity of the drug and its breakdown products (metabolites), and how quickly the drug and its metabolites are excreted from the body.
For decades, the regulation and control of new drugs in the United States has been based on the New Drug Application (NDA). Since 1938, every new drug has been the subject of an approved NDA before U.S. commercialization. The data gathered during the animal studies and human clinical trials of an Investigational New Drug (IND) become part of the NDA.
Changes to the protocol are considered to occur when the sponsor notifies a clinical investigator that the change should be implemented in the protocol. For a sponsor-investigator study, the change to the protocol is considered to occur when the sponsor-investigator incorporates the change in the protocol.
105-115), which amended the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the act) by adding section 520 (g) (6). This new section of the act establishes criteria that allow sponsors to make certain modifications to the investigational device, including manufacturing changes, and/or to the clinical protocol during the course of the clinical investigation without prior FDA approval.
Certain changes or modifications to a clinical investigation require submission of an IDE supplement and approval by FDA before implementation. Prior approval is required for changes to the device (including manufacturing changes) that constitute a change in the basic principles of operation or a significant change in design or changes that were not made in response to information gathered during the course of the investigation. Additionally, prior approval is required for changes to the investigational plan that affect the validity of the data resulting from the study, the risk to benefit relationship for subjects enrolled in the study, the scientific soundness of the investigation, or the rights, safety or welfare of subjects.
New section 520 (g) (6) of the act, however, required FDA to modify the IDE regulation to explicitly permit certain changes to the investigational device (including manufacturing changes) and to the clinical protocol during the course of the clinical investigation without agency approval of an IDE supplement.
According to § 812.25 Investigational Plan, the investigational plan includes the purpose of the study, the clinical protocol, a risk analysis, a description of the investigational device, monitoring procedures, labeling, informed consent materials, and institutional review board (IRB) information.
The amendment to the IDE regulation was published in the Federal Register as a proposed rule on July 15, 1998 and as a final rule on November 23, 1998.
As discussed above, new § 812.35 (a) provides for three approval/notification mechanisms for changes or modifications that may occur during the course of a clinical investigation. Below, the sponsor’s responsibilities in the various types of submissions and FDA’s actions on them are discussed.
The FDA's regulations related to electronic records and electronic signatures (21 CFR Part 11) is intended to: Allow the use of electronic documents and signatures in the regulatory process for drugs and devices. An academic medical center is selecting a new database system for clinical research.
A sponsor proposes research to evaluate reengineering a commercially available pacemaker. It is hoped that the new pacemaker will pose fewer risks to individuals when compared to the current commercially available product. How should this device be classified?
