Successful NDA submissions require a foundational regulatory and clinical strategy that can adapt to the challenges and competing priorities of the drug development process and ultimately drive the program forward.

A very common yet very critical question for a 505(b)(2) development program is “What clinical studies are needed to support the marketing application?” The clinical program required is very dependent upon the specifics of the new drug product and indication, and the studies necessary to gain approval can range from a single bioequivalence study to a more comprehensive Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical program.
To obtain approval for a new product via the 505(b)(2) pathway relying upon the Agency’s findings of safety and efficacy for a previously-approved drug, the applicant must explicitly identify at least one “listed drug” for which FDA has made a finding of safety and effectiveness, containing the same active ingredient as the applicant’s new product.
Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now (GAIN) and the Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designation and the Limited Population Pathway for Antibacterial and Antifungal Drugs (LPAD), described below, were designed by the FDA to streamline development and encourage investment into targeting infections that lack effective therapies.
The FDA’s Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy, Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy, Fast Track, and Priority Review designations were created to help speed up the approval of drugs and biologics that effectively
