2. Introduction
Definition : The NDA application is the vehicle through which drug sponsors,
such as biotech and pharmaceutical companies, formally propose that the FDA
approve a new pharmaceutical for sale and marketing.
For decades, the regulation and control of new drugs in the United States has
been based on the New Drug Application (NDA).
26/19/2016 Sagar Kishor Savale

3. Since 1938, every new drug or therapy has been the subject of an approved NDA
before US commercialization.
The documentation required in an NDA is supposed to tell the drug's whole story,
including what happened during the clinical tests, what the ingredients of the drug
are, the results of the animal studies, how the drug behaves in the body, and how
it is manufactured, processed and packaged.

4. Definitions
Drug: Drug are the substance intended to be used for or in the diagnosis,
treatment, mitigation, or prevention of any disease or disorder in human being or
animal.
New drug: Drug that has not been declared safe and effective by qualified expert
under the condition prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the and that may
be new chemical formula or an established drug prescribed for use in new way.

5. 5
Drug
 All medicines for internal or external use of human beings or animals or
 All substances intended to be used for or in the diagnosis, treatment mitigation or
prevention of any disease or disorder in human and animal.
 Such substances (other than food) intended to affect the structure or any function of human
body.
 All substances intended for use as components of a drug including empty gelatin capsules.
 Such devices intended for internal or external use in the diagnosis, treatment, mitigation or
prevention of disease or disorder.

6. 6
New drug
A new substance of chemical, biological, or biotechnological origin in bulk or
prepared dosage form used for diagnosis, treatment, mitigation or prevention of
any disease or disorder in human or animal which except during local clinical trial
has not been used in the country to any significant extent and during local clinical
trials has not been recognized in the country as effective and safe for the proposed
claims.

7. 7
New Drug Application (NDA)
An application submitted by the manufacturer of a drug to the FDA - after clinical trials have
been completed - for a license to market the drug for a specified.
New Drug Application (NDA) is the vehicle in the United States through which drug sponsors
formally propose that the FDA approve a new.
Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA)
An application for a license to market a generic (or a duplicate) version of a drug that
has already been granted an approval under a full NDA (i.e. the drug has already met
the statutory standards for safety and effectiveness.

8. OBJECTIVE OF NDA
Whether the drug's proposed labeling (package insert) is appropriate, and what it
should contain.
Whether the drug is safe and effective in its propose use, and whether the benefits
of the drug outweigh the risks .
Whether the methods used in manufacturing the drug and the controls used to
maintain the drug's quality are adequate to preserve the drug's identity, strength,
quality, and purity.

46. Fast track approval
 Drug for
Serious disease.
Fill an unmet need.
Must be requested by the drug company .
FDA 60 days review decision.
466/19/2016 Sagar Kishor Savale

47. Accelerated approval
In 1992 FDA instituted the accelerated approval regulation.
Based on surrogate endpoint, not on clinical outcome.
A surrogate endpoint is a marker- a laboratory measurement, or physical sign
that is used in clinical trial as an indirect or substitute measurement that
represent a clinically meaningful outcome, such as survival or symptom
improvement.
476/19/2016 Sagar Kishor Savale

48. Priority review
A priority review designation is given to drug that offer major advances in
treatment.
The goal for completing a priority review is 6 month.
It can given for drug used in serious/non serious disease.
