CONTENT Introduction Global Submission of IND Global Submission of NDA Global Submission of ANDA 2
Introduction Non- Clinical development Phase primarily aims to identify which candidate therapy has the greatest probability of success, assess it’s safety & Build solid scientific foundations before transition to the Clinical development Phase. Also, during this phase candidate compound should meet non medical objectives, including defining the intellectual property rights & making enough medicinal product available for clinical studies. 3
GLOBAL SUBMISSION OF IND INTRODUCTION The investigational new drug application is the result of a successful preclinical development programme. IND is also a vehicle through which a sponsor advances to next stage of drug development known as clinical trials. 4
There are 2 main categories Commercial:- Permits sponsor to collect data on ‘clinical safety& effectiveness’ needed for application for marketing in the form of NDA. 2. Non-commercial (Research) :- Permits sponsor to use drug in research to obtain ‘advanced scientific knowledge’ of new drug . No plan to market the product . 5
Types of IND Investigator INDs: It is submitted by Physician who both initiates & conduct an investigation and under whose immediate direction the investigational drug is administered or dispensed. Emergency Use INDs: It allows FDA to authorize use of experimental drug in an emergency situation that does not allow time for submission of an IND in a normal way. Treatment IND (Expanded access IND): Submitted for experimental drugs showing promise in clinical testing of serious conditions while final work is conducted & FDA review takes place. 6
Criteria for IND application A clinical study is required for an IND if it is intended to support a : New indication. Change in approved route of administration or dosage level. Change in approved patient population (e.g. pediatric ) or a population at greater or increase in risk (elderly ,HIV positive , immuno compromised ) Significant change in the promotion of an approved drug. 7
FORMAT AND CONTENT OF IND Cover sheet (Form FDA 1571). A table of contents. Introductory statement & General Investigational plan. Investigator’s Brochure. Protocols. Chemistry , Manufacturing &Control information. Pharmacology and toxicology information. Previous human experience with investigational product. Additional Information 8
IND Application must contain information in three broad areas: a) Animal Pharmacology & Toxicology Studies: Preclinical data to permit an assessment as to whether the product is reasonably safe for initial testing in humans. If any previous experience with the drug in humans. b) Manufacturing Information: Information regarding to the composition, manufacturer, stability &controls used for manufacturing drug substance and product. c) Clinical Protocols and Investigator Information: Detailed protocols proposed clinical studies to assess whether initial phase trials will expose subjects to unnecessary risks. Information and qualification of Clinical Investigators –professionals . 9
IND FLOW CHART 10
After pre-clinical investigations when the new molecule has been screened for pharmacological activity and acute toxicity potential in animals the sponsor requires permission from FDA for its clinical trials in humans. The sponsor submits the application for conduct of human clinical trials called Investigational New Drug (IND) application to FDA. Once IND application is submitted , the sponsor must wait for 30 days before initiating any clinical trial. 11
• Clinical trials in humans can begin only after IND is reviewed by the FDA and a local institutional review board (IRB). IRBs approve clinical trial protocol, informed consent of all participants and appropriate steps to prevent subjects from harm. If the FDA accepts the IND request within 30 days of submission, clinical testing of the new molecule on human may begin by the investigator. 12
. At this point, the molecule under the legal status of FDA becomes a new drug subject to specific requirements of drug regulatory system. • If at any time during clinical testing, the data furnished to FDA indicate the IP to be toxic under the criterion of FDA’s Benefit/Risk ratio, FDA can terminate clinical trial and its actions are not subject to any judicial review. 13
Application submission:- Most of INDs are paper submission. While only 12%INDs submitted electronically,28% of IND Amendments are submitted electronically a result of maintaining a growing number of INDs submitted electronically to date. 14
TIMELINE: 30 days after FDA receives the application , unless FDA notifies the sponsor that the investigations described in the application are subject to a clinical hold. Any earlier notification issued with approval clinical investigations in IND may begins. 15
GLOBAL SUBMISSION OF NDA Vehicle through which drug sponsors formally propose that the regulatory body (FDA) approve a new pharmaceutical for sale & marketing. The data gathered during the ‘animal studies’ & ‘Human clinical trials’ of an Investigational new product become part of NDA. 16
The goal of NDA are to provide enough information to permit FDA reviewers to establish the following : Safety & Effectiveness of drug ? Proper labelling ? Are the methods used for manufacturing (GMP) the Drug & Controls used to maintain the drug’s quality adequate to preserve the drug’s identity, strength, quality &purity ? 17
Classification of NDA • Centre for drug evaluation and Research(CDER) classifies new drug applications according to the type of drug being submitted and its intended use: a . New molecular entity b. New salt of previously approved drug c. New formulation of previously approved drug d. New combination of two or more drugs e. Already marketed drug product- Duplication (i.e., new manufacturer) f. New indication (claim) for already marketed drug (includes switching marketing status from prescription to OTC) g. Already marketed drug product ( no previously approved NDA) 18
The following letter codes describe the review priority of drug: S- Standard review : For drugs similar to currently available drugs. P- Priority review : For drugs that represent significant advances over existing treatments. 19

TIMELINE Review time frames: Within 180 days of receipt of an application, FDA will review approval , approvable or not approval letter ,this period is called the ‘review clock’ Applicant may withdraw at this period & later resubmit it . The time period may be extended by mutual agreement between FDA & applicant . 30
Filling timeline frames: Within 60 days after FDA receives , a determination is made whether application may be filed. This determines whether sufficient information is provided to proceed with in depth review. If FDA files the application ,applicant will be notified in written .the date of filling will be the date 60 days after FDA received application. The date of filling begins the 180 days period of review ,if FDA refuses it then applicant can meet with FDA & discuss. 31
ABBREVIATED NEW DRUG APPLICATION (ANDA) An ANDA contains data submitted to U.S food & drug administration (FDA’s CDER) ,office of generic drugs request for review and ultimate approval of a generic drug. Once ANDA is approved ,an applicant may manufacture &market the generic drug product to provide a Safe, Effective, Low cost alternative to public. A generic drug product is one compared with innovator drug product in Dosage form, Strength, Route of administration, Quality, Performance characteristics &intended use. 32
All approved products, both innovator & generic are listed in Orange Book. Use of bioequivalence as the base for approving generic drug products was established by the " Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984," also known as the HATCH-WAXMAN ACT. It is because of this Act that there is the availability of less costly generic drugs into the market without conducting costly and duplicative clinical trials. 33
FORMAT & CONTENT OF ANDA a .Application summary b. Chemistry, Manufacturing and controls section c. Non clinical pharmacology and toxicology section d. Human pharmacokinetics & bioavailability section e. Clinical and statically section f. Microbiology section The patent certification involved in ANDA that includes: 34

Bioequivalence: A generic drug is considered to be Bioequivalent to Branded Drug if, The rate & extent of absorption do not show a significant difference from listed drug or Extent of absorption does not show a significant difference in rate is intentional or not medically significant. NON EQUIVALENT 36
