New Chemical Entities and the New Drug Application for a
Marketing Application for Human Use (Section 505(b)(1))
•
Overview of the Approach to Drug Development and Approval
 Drug is defined as a product used in diagnosing, curing, mitigating, treating or preventing a disease or
affecting a structure of the body (21 CFR 310.3)
 Under the same regulation, a drug is considered a new drug if:
 New drug use of any substance (e.g., active ingredient, excipient, carrier, coating etc.) which composes the drug
 New drug use of a combination of approved drugs
 Proportion of the ingredients in combination is changed
 New intended use for the drug
 Dosage, method or duration of administration or application is changed
 The following are subject to FDA approval:
 A drug containing a novel chemical compound as its active ingredient (new chemical entity (NCE))
 A drug containing an existing active ingredient that has never been approved for use as a medicine in the US (also an
NCE)
 A drug previously approved by FDA but now proposed for a new use or indication
 A drug previously approved by FDA but in a dosage form, route of administration or other key condition of use different
from what was originally approved
8
Biologics
•
Virus Serum and Toxin Act (also known as Biologics Control Act)
 Passed in 1902
 Result of St. Louis tetanus contamination
 Infected serum and smaller occurrences of contaminated smallpox vaccine and diphtheria antitoxin
 Act authorized Hygienic Laboratory of the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service (became PHS)
 Issues regulations governing all aspects of commercial production of vaccines, serums, toxins, antitoxin and similar
products with objective of ensuring their safety, purity and potency
•
Hygienic Laboratory (1934), (renamed NIH in 1930 by Ransdell Act)
 Issued a regulation stating that licenses to manufacture new biologics would not be granted without evidence
that products were effective
•
Public Health Service Act of 1944 (PHS Act)
 Reorganization of PHS
 Authority given to NIH to license, research and develop new biological products
•
Division of Biological Standards (part of NIH and in turn part of PHS)
 Transferred to FDA eventually became (CBER)
 Biologics are classified as drugs under FD&C Act even though PHS Act established the regulation of biologics
licensure
 New biologic products require approval based on safety and efficacy before marketing
 (Biologics License Application (BLA) as opposed to an NDA)

Medical Devices
•
A “device” is defined by FDA as an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance,
implant, in vitro reagent or other similar or related article, including a component part, or
accessory which is:
 recognized in the official National Formulary or the United States Pharmacopoeia or any supplement to them
 intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment or
prevention of disease in man or other animals
 intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other animals, and which does not
achieve any of its primary intended purposes through chemical action within or on the body of man or other
animals and which is not dependent upon being metabolized for the achievement of any of its primary
intended purposes
•
Medical Device Amendments
 Passed in 1976 included the following major provisions
 redefined medical devices to make them more distinct from drugs and expanded the definition to include diagnostics for
conditions other than disease
 established safety and efficacy requirements for devices
 established premarket review by FDA
 established the medical device classification system
 created two routes to market (premarket notification and premarket approval) and established Investigational Device
Exemptions (IDEs)
27
Continued
•
Safe Medical Device Act
 Passed in 1990, included the following major provisions
 extended adverse device incident reporting to user facilities, including hospitals, ambulatory surgical facilities and nursing
homes (This was a landmark event because FDA had never extended its jurisdiction so broadly. When a user facility
receives information regarding a death caused by a device, it must report it to FDA and the manufacturer. If a user facility
receives information about a serious injury or illness caused by a device, it must report it to the manufacturer. A user
facility must also submit to FDA an annual summary of its reports to the agency.)
 required device tracking requirements for high-risk devices
 defined substantial equivalence required that submitters of 510(k)s receive clearance by FDA prior to marketing
 gave FDA the authority to regulate combination products
 defined the humanitarian device exemption
 gave FDA recall authority
•
Device Classification
 depends on intended use as well as indications for use. In addition, classification is based upon the risk the
device poses to the patient and/or the user. Class I includes devices with the lowest risk and Class III includes
those with the greatest risk
 General controls for all classes include:
 establishment registration of companies required to register under 21 CFR 807.20, such as manufacturers, distributors,
repackagers and relabelers; foreign establishments, however, are not required to register with FDA
 medical device listing with FDA
 manufacturing devices in accordance with GMP in 21 CFR 820
 labeling devices in accordance with labeling regulations in 21 CFR 801 or 809
 submission of a premarket notification (510(k)) (unless exempt) before marketing a device

Premarket Notification 510(k) and Exemptions
 sponsor wishing to market a Class I, II or III device intended for human use in the US, for which a PMA is not
required, must submit a 510(k) exemption to FDA unless the device is exempt from those requirements and
does not exceed the limitations of exemptions in the CFR device classifications as detailed below.
 FD&C Act Section 513(d)(2)(A) authorizes FDA to exempt certain generic types of Class I devices from the
premarket notification (510(k)) requirement
 A predicate device can be:
 1. a pre-amendment device (a currently marketed device that was on the market prior to 1976)
 2. a device reclassified from Class III to Class II or I
 3. a device found to be substantially equivalent to a device in the one of the above two categories
 A device is substantially equivalent if, in comparison to a predicate, it:
 has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the predicate or
 has the same intended use as the predicate and different technological characteristics and the information submitted to
FDA
 does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness
 demonstrates that the device is at least as safe and effective as the legally marketed device
30
Continued
•
If FDA determines that a device is not substantially equivalent, the applicant may:




•
resubmit another 510(k) with new data
request a Class I or II designation through the de novo process
file a reclassification petition
submit a PMA
FDASIA included the Medical Device User Fee Amendments of 2012 (MDUFA III)
 Introduced, in exchange for user application fees, new performance goals for FDA decision making with
respect to a variety of medical device submission types

Premarket Notifications: Final Guidance (March 1998)
•
Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) and Premarket Approval (PMA) Process
 IDE (21 CFR 812) allows investigational device to be used in a clinical study to collect safety and effectiveness
data required to support a PMA application or Premarket Notification (510(k)) submission to FDA
 Clinical evaluation of devices that have not been cleared for marketing requires:
 an IDE approved by an IRB; if the study involves a significant risk device, the IDE must also be approved by FDA
 informed consent from all patients
 labeling for investigational use only
 study monitoring
 records and reports
31
Continued
•
Class III devices require a PMA application (21 CFR 814) due to level or risk associated
with these devices
•
Must receive approval prior to marketing device
•
Approval based on determination by FDA that the PMA contains sufficient valid
scientific evidence to assure that the device is safe and effective
