🗑
what is the IND approval process like   they are not approved, but are put on a "clinical hold" by the FDA within 30 days - if there is no hold placed, the sponsor may proceed  
🗑
what must the sponsor continually send the FDA, as far as the IND (3 - forms/reports, not general information)   1) annual IND reports; 2) IND amendments that describe change in trials; 3) safety reports  
🗑
what are three pieces of general information that must be included in the IND application   1) description of drug (chemical analysis, stability); 2) description of drug product (e.g. tablet); 3) proposed drug labeling to guide IND clinical investigators  
🗑
what is some pharmacologic/toxicology information expected to be included in the IND (3)   1) MOA/effects in animals; 2) absorption/metabolism/distribution/elimination (pharmacokinetics) studies in vitro and in animals; 3) toxicology  
🗑
what types of toxicology studies are done (2)   1) acute; 2) chronic

🗑
what things are looked at in phase 1 studies (3)   1) metabolism; 2) drug/food interactions; 3) adverse effects  
🗑

🗑
what % of drugs successfully get through phase 1, 2, and 3   70%, 33%, 25-30%  
🗑
when must NDA reports be submitted once a drug is approved, and for how long   every year, as long as the drug is marketed  
🗑
what is post-marketing reporting (NDA annual reports) focused on   drug safety
