For conducting clinical trials with Investigational Drugs or Drugs that are not approved for intended use, the sponsor must submit an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) to the US FDA and obtain the Agency acceptance before the drug is transported or distributed across the US for use in the clinical program. In case, if the sponsor fails to submit adequate information in the IND Application to assure product quality, safety and scientific evidence on proposed efficacy profile, the US FDA may issue a Clinical Hold (full clinical hold or partial clinical hold), restricting sponsors to move forward unless issues are addressed.
Freyr assists sponsors with end-to-end Regulatory support for IND programs, starting from pre-IND meetings to Regulatory compliance and management of late phase submissions when the IND goes effective.
