The U.S. FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) provides assistance to developers on the necessary study design elements and other data needed in the drug application, to support a full and comprehensive assessment.
Here are the main types of drug applications:
- Investigational New Drug (IND)
- New Drug Application (NDA)
- Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA)
- Over-the-Counter Drugs (OTC)
- Biologic License Application (BLA)
FDA’s role in the development of a new drug begins when the drug’s sponsor (usually the manufacturer or potential marketer), having screened the new molecule for pharmacological activity and acute toxicity potential in animals, wants to test its diagnostic or therapeutic potential in humans.
The Investigational New Drug (IND) Application is the means through which the sponsor technically obtains the exemption from the FDA, to ship the drug to clinical investigators. CDER’s Pre-Investigational New Drug Application (IND) Consultation is strongly recommended. Once the IND is submitted, the sponsor must wait 30 calendar days before initiating any clinical trials.
When the sponsor of a new drug believes that enough evidence on the drug’s safety and effectiveness has been obtained to meet FDA’s requirements for marketing approval, the sponsor submits a New Drug Application (NDA). The drug sponsor formally requests that the FDA approve a new pharmaceutical for sale and marketing in the U.S. The data gathered during the animal studies and human clinical trials of an Investigational New Drug (IND) become part of the NDA.
If the person signing an NDA does not reside or have a place of business within the United States, it must be countersigned by an attorney, agent, or other authorized official who resides or maintains a place of business within the United States.
Generic drug applications are called Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) because they are generally not required to include preclinical (animal) and clinical (human) data to establish safety and effectiveness. Instead, a generic applicant must scientifically demonstrate that its product is bioequivalent or performs in the same manner as the innovator drug.
