New Drugs Regulatory Program Modernization: Vision, Strategic Objectives, and Impact
Tóm tắt
In response to a rapid increase in drug development activity during the past two decades, the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research launched a multi-year effort in 2017 to modernize the program by which new drug products are regulated, known as the New Drugs Regulatory Program. Following a detailed analysis of FDA activities in new drug development, premarket review, and postmarket monitoring, the Office of New Drugs was restructured to therapeutically align its clinical offices and to add new cross-functional offices for regulatory support. An interdisciplinary review process for new drug and biologics applications was rolled out to reduce redundancy and produce review documents that effectively communicate the scientific basis for the regulatory decision. The investigational new drug (IND) review process was also streamlined. During the next 2 years, the modernization initiative will seek to attract and retain new scientific and regulatory staff, improve postmarket safety monitoring, increase efficiency of drug review via technology-enabled workflows, and standardize the capture and use of scientific data to inform future regulatory decisions. The modernization effort will position the New Drugs Regulatory Program to continually improve and adapt to innovations in science, technology, and drug development.
