Study Notes
Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier (IMPD) & Investigational New Drug (IND)
- The IMPD is critical for clinical trial applications, ensuring regulatory compliance.
- IND applications are necessary for conducting clinical investigations on new drugs in the U.S.
Common Technical Document (CTD)
- CTD serves as a standardized document format for regulatory submissions.
- Comprises modules detailing objectives, plans, indications, and methodologies of clinical trials.
Institutional Review Board (IRB)
- IRBs protect rights and welfare of human research subjects within affiliated institutions.
- Regulations under 21 CFR 56 guide IRB functions, ensuring ethical research practices.
Drug Regulation
- Regulated by international agreements and authorities like FDA and EMA.
- Involves oversight of drug lifecycle from development to marketing and addresses benefit–risk assessment.
Drug Evaluation Complexity
- Drug regulators must navigate extensive evidence and balance benefits against risks.
- Additional factors such as disease severity and clinical need complicate evaluation processes.
Role of Regulatory Affairs
- Focused on human health protection by assuring drug safety, efficacy, and quality.
- Regulatory strategies depend on effective interpretation and communication of regulations.
European Medicines Agency (EMA)
- EMA supervises the evaluation and regulation of medicinal products in the EU.
- Protocol waivers and amendments are permissible under certain conditions, yet their implementation varies by classification.
Investigational Product Labeling (U.S. & EU)
- In the U.S., labels must indicate investigational status as per federal law.
- In the EU, labeling must meet Annex 13 of EU Directive 2001/83/EC and comply with local language requirements.
Investigational Product Requirements (EU)
- Sponsors must retain IMP batch records for at least five years post-trial completion.
- Sufficient samples of investigational products and components must be held for at least two years after study conclusions.
Adverse Event Reporting (U.S.)
- Critical for monitoring drug safety with regulatory requirements governing submission and management.
- Specific guidelines dictate the processes for reporting adverse events related to investigational products.
