Summary

Module 3

This module will provide you with a general understanding of how to best develop and gain approval for a new drug or biologic in the USA with emphasis on the requirements for development and maintenance of new drugs.

During drug development, sponsors must interact with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on a regular basis in order to agree on the best programme of studies, which will thereby provide the required data. Sponsors must also demonstrate that the drug meets the quality standards required for approval. There are various programmes available that can be used to speed up drug development and regulatory approval if requested by sponsors and agreed to by the agency.

We will focus on how you should interact with the various centers at the FDA, including the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), from early non-clinical and clinical research to post-approval obligations. We will also compare and contrast these to the EU and ICH guidelines and requirements.
