What This Talk Will Cover
• The mystique of the Investigational New Drug Application (IND)
• IND• Emergency IND• Treatment IND• Off Label
• What is FDA looking for when Auditing Clinical Investigations?
![Page 4: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Introduction to FDA
• U.S. Food and Drug Administration
• Over 10,000 employees
• Key Branches• Center for Drug Evaluation & Research (CDER)• Center for Biologics Evaluation & Research (CBER)• Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH)
![Page 5: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
FDA Regulates Products
• Drugs, biologics, medical devices (diagnostic and therapeutic), foods: nearly 25% of the U.S. economy
• FDA has responsibility for clinical investigations of FDA-regulated products• Irrespective of study funding (unlike OHRP)• Irrespective of study location within the U.S.• Irrespective of whether for
commercialization/marketing or for scientific knowledge
![Page 6: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
![Page 7: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How Did it All Begin?
• 1937: Sulfanilamide – the first “wonder drug” for strep throat and gonorrhea
• Made into Elixir of Sulfanilamide
• Resulted in 107 deaths
• No laws regarding safety
• Congress got involved
![Page 8: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Levels of Authority at FDA
• Law: Passed by Congress; Governs the U.S. Public AND FDA• Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
• Regulation: Promulgated by FDA to implement the law; Carries the force of law
• Guidance: FDA’s best advice; Alternate methods may be used to meet regulation
![Page 9: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Key FDA Regulations Governing the
Conduct of Clinical Trials
• FDA regulations directed towards protection of human research subjects• 21 CFR Part 50: Informed Consent• 21 CFR Part 56: IRB Regulations
• These regulations are near-identical to the “Common Rule” which governs protection of subjects in federally funded research
![Page 10: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Key Regulations Governing the Conduct of Clinical Trials
Regulations supporting FDA’s unique product application review responsibilities and the Agency’s broad public protection mission
• 21 CFR Part 312: IND Regulations (drug)• 21 CFR Part 812: IDE Regulations (device)• 21 CFR Part 314: NDA Regulations (drug)• 21 CFR Part 814: PMA Regulations (device)• 21 CFR Part 11: Electronic Records/Signatures• 21 CFR Part 54: Financial Disclosure
![Page 11: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Which Regulations Apply? All three: if VA research involves a FDA regulated product in
a project supported or conducted by HHS or conducted in an institution that agrees to review all research under HHS regulations
HHS
FDA
VA
![Page 12: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A Few Differences and Quirks
Definitions• Research (HHS and VA) vs. Clinical Investigation
(FDA)• Human Subject: Recipient of test article or control
(FDA) vs. DHHS and VA• Principal Investigator vs. Sub-Investigator: FDA vs.
DHHS and VA• Investigational New Drug: FDA vs. VA
![Page 13: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is an Investigational New Drug (IND) Application?
• Affirms a body of knowledge about the manufacturing, pharmacology, and toxicology of the drug to support its use in human testing
• Requires that the clinical investigation(s) be performed in accordance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP)
• Provides an additional level of protection through FDA oversight
• An IND is required when an unapproved drug or biologic is used in a clinical investigation
![Page 14: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What Does it Mean?
![Page 15: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Is an IND always required?
• No IND is needed when an approved product is used in the course of medical practice (even for an indication different from the approved indication)
• But an IND may be required when an approved product is used in a clinical investigation based on use of the study information or based on increased risk
• Even when exempt from an IND, IRB review and Informed Consent are required
![Page 16: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
FDA Regulations: Off-Label Use
• FDA-approved products (i.e. marketed products) may be used by authorized prescribers outside of labeled indications for the practice of medicine
• Such use in research (i.e., as part of a systematic investigation designed to contribute to generalizable knowledge) requires IRB review
• Such use intended to support a change in labeling requires IRB review and an IND
![Page 17: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How Does One Get an IND?
• Submit an Application to FDA with 8 components:• Cover Sheet and Form FDA 1571• Table of Contents• Introductory Statement and General Investigational
Plan• Clinical Protocol• Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control Information• Pharmacology and Toxicology Information• Previous Human Experience• Additional Information
![Page 18: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
When Does the IND Go Into Effect?
• FDA notifies sponsors in writing the date it receives the IND application
• 30-day rule• Earlier notification• Clinical hold
21 CFR 312.40(b)
![Page 19: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Special INDs: Emergency and Treatment
• Emergency INDs are used for emergency use of a test article regulations
21 CFR 50.23, 56.102(d), 56.104(c), 312.36
• Treatment INDs are used for treatment protocols or treatment IND
21 CFR 312.34
• Neither of these are INDs used to support marketing
![Page 20: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Emergency IND
• Intended subject does not meet the criteria of an existing study protocol
• Approved study protocol does not exist• Manufacturer cannot make the
unapproved investigational drug or biologic available under the company’s IND
• FDA request by telephone or other rapid communication means
![Page 21: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Now that you have the Emergency IND, What do you do with it?
• Emergency use of a Test Article Regulations• Use of a test article on a human subject
• in a life-threatening situation • no standard treatment is available• there is not sufficient time to obtain IRB
approval
21 CFR 56.102(d)
![Page 22: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Human Subject Severely debilitated or life-threatening conditionStandard acceptable treatment unavailable, and
Sufficient time not available to obtain IRB approval
IND obtained by investigator
from sponsor or authorized by FDA
Informed Consent obtained from participant
No Informed Consent can Be obtained from participant
Test Article administered
Written certification by investigator and
non-study participating physician or independent determination of investigator
IRB Report within 5 working days
![Page 23: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
FDA Regulations Usually Involved with Emergency IND
• Emergency IND regulations
• Emergency Exemption from Prospective IRB Approval
• Exception from Informed Consent Requirements
• Targeted to Investigators
• Not to be confused with Planned Emergency Research
![Page 24: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Why Does One Need a Treatment IND?
The investigational drug• intended to treat a serious or immediately
life-threatening disease;• no comparable or satisfactory alternative drug or
other therapy available to treat that stage of the disease in the intended patient population;
• under investigation in a controlled clinical trial under an IND or the clinical trials have been completed;
• sponsor is actively pursuing marketing approval of the investigational drug with due diligence.
• Confusion about terminology: “humanitarian use”
![Page 25: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Treatment INDs
• Require IRB approval• Sponsor may apply for a waiver of
local IRB review• Require informed consent unless the
requirements for exception from informed consent requirements are met as described in 21 CFR 50.23(a)
• Protocols for one or thousands of potential subjects
![Page 26: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What’s the Major Difference Between:
An IRB-approved protocol with a IND that will be used for marketing the investigational drug or biologic
vs.
An IRB-approved protocol with a treatment IND?
![Page 27: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Review of three INDs
• IND• Most common
• Treatment IND• Designed so that subjects may continue to
receive the benefits of the investigational drug until marketing approval is obtained
• Emergency IND• Obtained by calling FDA• Applied with emergency exemption from
prospective IRB review
![Page 28: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
IRB Issues
• Does the IRB need to review the IND application?
• What is the IRB’s role in validating the IND?
• What is the IRB ‘s role in emergency use of a test article?
![Page 29: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
IRB Issues
• Does the IRB need to review the IND application?
NO (with a caveat)
![Page 30: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
IRB Issues
• What is the IRB’s role in validating the IND?• Applies to portion of AAHRPP element
1.5.A• Policies and procedures describe how the
organization decides whether an IND or IDE is required.
• When an IND or IDE is required, policies and procedures describe how the organization determines that a valid IND or IDE is present before approval of the research.
![Page 31: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
IRB Issues • Validation of the IND or IDE (Investigational Device
Exemption)• More than making sure a number is on an IRB
application• Source document:
• Industry-sponsored clinical trials:• Clinical Protocol• Investigator’s Brochure (for investigational drugs)• Sponsor correspondence or e-mail• FDA correspondence
• Investigator-initiated• FDA correspondence
• AAHRPP does not define who or what entity must conduct the validation
![Page 32: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
IRB Issues
• What is the IRB ‘s role in emergency use of a test article?• FDA regulations only require
retrospective IRB notification• Did the use meet the criteria for an
emergency exemption from prospective IRB approval?
• If informed consent was not obtained, did the investigator meet the requirements for exception from informed consent requirements?
![Page 33: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
FDA Regulations for IRBs – Most Common Warning Letters (483)
• What is a 483?
• What is a warning letter?
• FDA’s Bioresearch Monitoring Program
• Current philosophy of FDA audits of IRBs
• Triggers
![Page 34: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
FDA Inspections- Triggered by Investigator Action
• “You deprived the IRB of its oversight role by failing to report, for time periods ranging from four years to five and half years, the following serious adverse events to the IRB as required by Standard Procedure 00-701/1.00-201.”
• “You involved human beings as subjects in this research before you obtained their legally effective informed consent, when study-required skin tests were performed on subjects before they signed the informed consent document.”
![Page 35: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
FDA Inspections- Triggered by Investigator Action
• “You stated that you were not provided with a specific chart by the sponsor to determine exclusion. As a result, this issue was overlooked at the time of the consent. This response is inadequate because as a clinical investigator, it is your responsibility to follow the protocol, including its exclusion criteria.
• “You stated that the unapproved versions of the informed consent forms had a much clearer description of the PURPOSE OF THE STUDY. This response is not adequate. . . . It is your responsibility to use informed consent forms that have been approved by the reviewing IRB prior to initiating any study related procedures.”
![Page 36: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
FDA IRB Findings
• “The IRB approved an informed consent form that did not contain the basic elements described in 21 CFR 50.25.”
• “The IRB failed to follow some of its own written procedures.”
• “The IRB Coordinator stated that that the IRB approved a protocol required full board approval and issued an approval letter even though it had not been presented to the full board. Review of the approval letter and IRB minutes indicate that the protocol was not presented at the meeting.”
![Page 37: Human Research Protection Program 101 March 19-20, 2007 Cincinnati, Ohio.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e7d5503460f94b80c23/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
FDA Warning Letters – Key Phrases
• “The above-described deviations are not intended to be an all-inclusive list of deficiencies that may exist.”
• “Failure to respond to this letter and take appropriate corrective action could result in the FDA taking regulatory action without further notice to you.”
• “These corrections may be verified during future inspections.”
