HISTORY:
The NDA has evolved when the FD&C act was passed in 1938,
NDAs were only required to contain information pertaining to the
investigational drug’s safety.
In 1962, the Kefauver – Harris amendments to the FD&C act require
NDAs to contain evidence that a new drug was effective for its
intended use & that the established benefits of the drug outweighed
its known risks.
The NDA was again the subject of change in 1985, when the FDA
completed a comprehensive revision of the regulations pertaining to
NDAs. This revision commonly called the NDA rewrite, modified
content requirements, it was mainly intended to restructure the ways
in which information & data are organized & presented in the NDA to
expedite FDA reviews.
4. INTRODUCTION:
The New Drug Application (NDA) is the vehicle through which drug
sponsors formally propose that the FDA approve a new pharmaceutical for sale
& marketing in United States.
New chemical entity is an active ingredient that has never been approved by
regulatory authority of country for use in same type of product.
R.MEENAKSHI M.PHARM(Chemi4stry),2010
5. The goals of NDA are to provide enough information to permit FDA
reviewers to establish:
Is the drug safe & effective in its proposed use, & do the benefits of
the drug outweigh the risks?
Is the drug’s proposed labeling (package insert) appropriate, & what
should contain?
Are the methods used in manufacturing (GMP) the drug & the
controls used to maintain the drug’s quality adequate to preserve the
drug’s identity, strength, quality & purity?
To legally gather the data on safety & effectiveness in the US,
the maker must first obtain an Investigational New Drug (IND)
designation from FDA.

6. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the development of novel
drugs. Both prescription and over-the-counter drugs are regulated by the
Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER).
CDER has been established to ensure that drug products are safe and
effective. All new drug products must undergo a rigorous process of pre-clinical
and clinical evaluation..
F or every 5000 compounds that enter pre-clinical testing, only five will continue
on to clinical trials in humans and only one will be approved for
marketing in the United States.
After each stage of development, the sponsor of the new product meets with
the FDA to determine next steps and establish end points for future trials.
Similar processes are required in other countries.
R.MEENAKSHI M.PHARM(Chemi6stry),2010
7. Preclinical Testing. A pharmaceutical or biotechnology company conducts
laboratory and animal studies to demonstrate biological activity of the compound
against the targeted disease, and the compound is evaluated for safety.
Investigational New Drug Application (IND)
After completing preclinical testing, the company files an IND with the FDA to
begin to test the drug in humans.
The IND becomes effective if the FDA does not disapprove it within 30 days. The
IND shows results of previous experiments and studies; how, where and by
whom the new studies will be conducted; the chemical structure of the
compound;
how it is thought to work in the body; any toxic effects found in the animal
studies; and how the compound is manufactured.
The IND must be reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB)
where the studies will be conducted,and progress reports on clinical trials must
be submitted to the FDA at least once annually.
R.MEENAKSHI M.PHARM(Chemi7stry),2010
8. New Drug Application (NDA). Following successful completion of all three
phases of human clinical trials, the company analyses all of the data and files an
NDA with the FDA if the data successfully demonstrate safety and effectiveness.
The NDA must contain all of the scientific information that the company has
gathered on the compound.
NDAs can exceed 100,000 pages or more. By legislation, the FDA is allowed six
months to review an NDA filing. In 2000, the average review time for approved
products was 16 months.
FDA Panel Review. Once CDER has reviewed the NDA, the product's sponsor
presents the data to a panel of experts.
The members of the panel may ask for clarification of specific data points, request
explanations for certain outcomes or events observed in the trial or pose questions
on potential issues that may occur if the product is approved for marketing.
R.MEENAKSHI M.PHARM(Chemi8stry),2010
9. The members of the panel then vote in favour of or against recommending
marketing approval.
While the FDA does not have to take the recommendation of the panel, it
usually does.
FDA Approval. Once the Review Panel has issued its recommendation, the
FDA makes the final decision on product approval.
Marketing of the drug is then permitted.
