On-Demand Webinar| Expanding your Clinical Trial into the US - Submit your IND for non-US Sponsors

How, why, and when to expand your clinical trial program into the US, including differences between IND and CTA 

shutterstock_360398336_Woman Working From Home_Blog_opt1200Submitting an IND application to the US FDA is a significant step in developing a new drug or biologic product. But, how and when should you submit one?

 

The primary purpose of an IND is to allow the initiation of clinical testing within the United States. Many sponsors grapple with the decision of when to submit an IND throughout their development programs.   As you construct your global clinical development plan, strategic consideration should be given to the timing and content of an IND submission to the US FDA.  

 

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. They will share best-practice for seeking pre-IND advice from FDA and considerations for submitting data from non-US clinical studies as part of your IND. Additionally, you will understand the differences in content requirements between an IND and CTA.  

 

Our experts will share their experience, successes, and lessons learned on how to:

  • Understand why and how to submit an IND
  • Decide when you are ready to submit an IND to FDA
  • Compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the IND and CTA
