Comparing EMA and Health Canada CTA submission for Phase I trials to US FDA IND application
ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
Foreign clinical trial data is accepted under US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations to support New Drug Application (NDA) (including 505 (b)(2)) and Abbreviated NDA (ANDA) submissions.
It is a common assumption that pharma and biotech companies are focused on these regulatory submissions to the US FDA. In fact, US-based contract research organisations often provide what they refer to as their “standard Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling programme” when initiating discussions with new clients. However, for a variety of reasons, the drug development strategy of many companies is to conduct first-in-human (FIH) clinical studies outside of the US.
To ensure the safety of Phase I healthy trial subjects, the generation and conduct of suitable non-clinical toxicology studies is documented in the international harmonised guidance ICH M3 R2. However, the presentation of this data as a well-argued case, conforming to local regulatory expectations and standards, is key to a successful foreign regulatory authority submission.
This on-demand webinar provides an overview of a foreign health authority’s requirements for gaining approval to conduct an FIH clinical trial by comparing Health Canada and European Medicines Agency (EMA) Clinical Trial Authorisation (CTA) processes to that of the FDA IND submission. The presentation will cover the following:
- Highlight similarities and differences
- Provide an overview of the receiving divisions
- Summarise each regulatory agency’s review process, submission process and content
- Review timelines for CTA/IND submissions.
Key learning outcomes:
- Understand current considerations for emerging biopharmaceutical companies to ensure timely FIH clinical trials when planning early-phase drug development strategies
- Learn how foreign clinical trials can support FDA drug approval
- Explore 505(b)(2) NDA submission and how foreign clinical trials support this drug development strategy
- Review the differences in the quality and non-clinical data submission requirements to gain approval from EMA, FDA and Health Canada to conduct an FIH trial.
