Submitting an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the US FDA is a significant step in the development of a new drug or biologic product. But, are you ready? Have you conducted all the IND-enabling proof-of-concept and toxicology studies required? Is the manufacture of your product sufficiently consistent, and is it achieving the necessary quality standards? And is this the best point in time to submit your application? Should you wait until there are more data available, or even run your first-in-human trial outside the US?
In this webinar, you will learn the minimum required content for an IND submission and explore the strategic considerations for developing more than the minimum necessary data before filing an IND. You will receive advice from regulatory experts responsible for dozens of IND submissions pertaining to selecting a target indication, seeking pre-IND advice from FDA, deciding whether to use US or non-US sites for early clinical research, and more. The direction provided will help you determine whether you are ready to submit your IND and take the next step in the development of your product.
