Global IND Submissions
Upcoming Courses
As drug companies seek to penetrate global markets and get new drugs to markets more quickly, they are increasingly conducting drug and biologic clinical studies outside the United States. The regulatory affairs professional must keep abreast of the ever-changing regulatory climate, and be able to complete IND-like submissions in a variety of formats, and with country/regulatory agency-specific requirements in mind.
This course will walk the participants through the country requirements, IND submission requirements, and timelines for approval in Canada, the EU, South Africa, Australia, Asia, and South America using the U.S. IND as the basis for comparison. After the initial IND filings are reviewed, what work will be needed for maintaining the submission and closing the trial will be examined.
At the end of this course, the participant will be familiar with how to:
- Find information about country specific regulations
- Navigate regional regulatory requirements for IND like submissions
- File an IND-like submission
- Identify translations needed
- Establish timelines for approval of submissions
- Maintain an IND-like submission
- Anticipate what is needed when the trial ends
The focus of the course will be on in-depth coverage of the Canadian and EU Clinical Trial Application (CTA), going over the forms, required contents, re-use of information, and country specific requirements/information. In addition, for Canada, the EU, and the other countries, the following information will be covered:
- Overview of the country
- Pertinent laws and regulations
- MOH address and contact
- Clinical trial documents needed
- Clinical Trial Applications
- Responding to agency questions
- Regulatory approval, process, and timelines
- Submission logistics
- GCP and GMP requirements
- Ethics committee requirements
- Informed consent
- Insurance requirements
- Labeling of clinical supply
- Importing requirements
- Fees
- Serious adverse event reporting
- Annual reporting
- Amendments
- Inspections
Mock EU and Canadian CTAs will be provided as a reference.
- Any part of the drug development team who wishes to know more about the global IND submission process such as: regulatory associates, regulatory managers, quality assurance, manufacturing, clinical, project management, and pre-clinical personnel will benefit from this course.
