New FDA Tools for Investigators and Clinicians
The FDA recently released two new tools that were developed for investigators and clinicians: 1) Research IND Pilot Portal and 2) Expanded Access eRequest. The Research IND (Investigational New Drug) Pilot Portal is a web-based tool for submission of non-eCTD (electronic Common Technical Document) Research INDs. The submission process is streamlined by using dynamic and intuitive questions with targeted links, resources, and CFR guidance. The tool provides user-friendly capabilities such as auto population of Form FDA 1571, reusable data, and a centralized dashboard to track all submissions. Digitizing non-eCTD Research IN...
