  3. FDA Structure / Organization FDA Structure / Organization Office of Combination Products Food and Drug Administration Center for Veterinary Devices National Center for Toxicological Research Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Center for Devices and Radiological Health Center for Drug Evaluation and Research

  4. CDRH Offices Office of Device Evaluation Office of In-Vitro Diagnostic Devices & Safety Center for Devices and Radiological Health Office of Surveillance & Biometrics Office of Science & Technology Office of Compliance Office of Health & Industry Programs

  5. FDA's Three Key Development Roles: • "Gatekeeper" to the marketplace -- the new drug approval process • "Cop on the beat" or "Enforcer" -- ensuring quality compliance via inspection and enforcement actions (e.g. criminal charges) • "Sentinel" of Safety Concerns - during development and post-approval

  6. FDA regulation of medical products • Among the products that FDA regulates are three categories of diagnostic, preventative, or therapeutic products: • Drugs • Biologics • Medical devices

  7. The Approval Gate … • Preliminary Considerations -- Determining the Regulatory Status of the product • Is it a "drug", "device" or "biologic"? • Drug: • described in USP (United States Pharmacopeia)or • intended (via labeling) • to affect the body of man or other animals • to be used in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease in man or other animals

  8. The Approval Gate … • Regulatory Status of the product -con'd… • Is it a "drug", "device" or "biologic"? • Device: defined as involving: "instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or "similar or related article including any component, part or accessory." • in USP/NF (the National Formulary) or • intended to be used in diagnosis … cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease or other conditions • intended to affect the body of man

  9. The Approval Gate … • Regulatory Status of the product - con'd… • Is it a "drug", "device" or "biologic"? • Thus -- device definition can capture products that resemble drugs if they do not achieve their result via being metabolized in the body or via chemical action within or on the body -- regulated by FDA Center for Devices & Radiological Health (CDRH) • Examples of "drug-like" devices: • Ultrasound contrast media • Contact lens solutions

  10. The Approval Gate … • Regulatory Status of the product -con'd… • Is it a "drug", "device" or "biologic"? • Biologic -- • Generally, if derived from human or animal tissue; • used to be regulated by FDA Center for Biologics (CBER) using approval standards similar to CDER • therapeutic biotech products going to CDER • vaccines – remain behind • NOTE: "true" biotech products usually are biologics

  11. The Approval Gate … • Regulatory Status of the product - con'd… • Is it a "drug", "device" or "biologic"? • OR BOTH?? • "Combination" or "hybrid" products -- • are regulated per their "primary mode of action" -- • but this may be difficult to discern -- get clarification very early as will impact FDA Center you deal with • can request in writing -- under FDAMA § 416, FDA can't later change its mind w/o your consent or public health reasons exist

  12. The Approval Gate … • Regulatory Status of the product - con'd… • What type of submission is needed to get FDA approval or clearance? • Drugs: • Full New Drug Application (NDA) • 505(b)(2) NDA or "Paper NDA" • Abbreviated New Drug Application • The OTC Drug route -- Abreva (Avanir/SKB) • NDA • OTC Review monograph change

  13. The Approval Gate … • Regulatory Status of the product - con'd… • What type of submission is needed to get FDA approval or clearance? • Devices: • Premarket Approval Application (PMA) -- clinical studies will be needed • Premarket Notification under § 510k -- clinical studies MAY be needed (or wanted)

  14. The Approval Gate … • Regulatory Status of the product - con'd… • What type of submission is needed to get FDA approval or clearance? • Biologics • Biologic License Application (BLA) • no generic versions now possible – may change …

  15. The Approval Gate … • Regulatory Status of the product - con'd… • What quantity and quality of data will be demanded by FDA to show safety & effectiveness? • Will vary -- FDA has extensive discretion here • Key task -- try to get clarity as soon as possible in the process -- Ways to do so: • Pre-IND meeting -- encouraged by FDA prior to start of human clinicals • End of Phase 2 Meeting - also encouraged -- here's where you want to "lock" them in

  16. Overview of Typical Pharmaceutical Product Development Product Launch Marketing Plan IP Marketing Research VALIDATION APPROVAL FILING Cost:1Preclinical to Phase II - Approximately 1-7 million Phase III - 2 - 8 million Total Costs = 10-25 million USD Validation Batches - Product Costs and Labor X 3 to 5 batches Production Start Up Costs based on Contract or Facility Total Time = 4.5 - 7.5 years FDA Approval - 13.5 months 3 Time:2,3 Preclinical to Completed Clinicals - 3-5 years Validation and Production Launch - 6-18 months 1 In 2000 Dollars - Estimates by the National Cancer Institute for all new pharmaceutical. Estimate does not consider R&D costs that are not associated with the development of the drug in question. Most drug companies use a system of cost estimates that includes the valuation of money if it had been invested andthe cost of drug development not approved by the FDA. Most studies conclude that the rate of commercialization success to be 1:5000.

  18. And the next step… • You’ve got the device or drug okayed—now you have to manufacture it…

  19. GMPs • Current good manufacturing practices (GMPs) are the methods by which manufacturers, holders, and transporters of drugs, biologics, or devices assure that every product that they make, hold, or transport is, and continues to be until it is used, safe and effective. • Failure to comply with GMPs (and for devices, failure to comply with the quality system regulations) makes a product “adulterated” and its distribution or sale illegal.

  20. The Early Beginnings • 1900s house-calls • Home remedies, ointments and “miracle elixirs” • Entertainment and music • No regulations until 1902 Fig. 1. Animation of ancient medicine show

  21. Public Involvement • 1905 - The Jungle by Upton Sinclair • Exposure of unsanitary conditions in meat packing plants • Public awareness and involvement • Pure Food and Drug Act • False labeling became illegal Fig. 2. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair Fig. 3. 1906 Meat processing plant

  22. What is GMP? • Good Manufacturing Practice is a set of regulations, codes, and guidelines for the manufacture of drug substances and drug products, medical devices, in vivo and in vitro diagnostic products, and foods. Fig.4 GMP handbooks for every industry

  23. Good Manufacturing Practices Worldwide Enforcement • Good Manufacturing Practices are enforced in the United States by the FDA • In the United Kingdom by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency • GMPs are enforced in Australia by the Therapeutically Goods Administration • In India by the Ministry of Health, multinational and/or foreign enterprises • Many underdeveloped countries lack GMPs

  24. 1941 Initiation of GMP • Sulfathiaziole tablets contaminated with phenobarbital • 1941 - 300 people died/injured • FDA to enforce and revise manufacturing and quality control requirements • 1941 - GMP is born Fig. 5 1906 Certificate of Purity signed by doctor

  25. 1962 Kefauver-Harris Drug Amendments • Thalidomide tragedy • Thousands of children born with birth defects due to adverse drug reactions of morning sickness pill taken by mothers • Strengthen FDA’s regulations regarding experimentation on humans and proposed new way how drugs are approved and regulated • “Proof of efficacy” law

  26. 1976 Medical Device Amendments • 1972 and 1973 -Pacemaker failures reported • 1975 - hearing-Dalkon Shield intrauterine device caused thousands of injuries • Class I, II and III medical devices – based on degree of control necessary to be safe and effective Fig.7 President Gerald Ford signs the Medical Device Amendments

  27. 1980 Infant Formula Act • 1978 - major manufacturer of infant formula reformulated two of its soy products • 1979 - Infants diagnosed with hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis • Greater regulatory control over the formulation and production of infant formula • Modification of industry’s and FDA’s recall procedures Fig.8 Parody on Infant Formula Act

  28.

  29. § 211.25 Personnel qualifications • (a) Each person engaged in the manufacture, processing, packing, or holding of a drug product shall have education, training, and experience, or any combination thereof, to enable that person to perform the assigned functions. Training shall be in the particular operations that the employee performs and in current good manufacturing practice (including the current good manufacturing practice regulations in this chapter and written procedures required by these regulations) as they relate to the employee's functions. Training in current good manufacturing practice shall be conducted by qualified individuals on a continuing basis and with sufficient frequency to assure that employees remain familiar with CGMP requirements applicable to them. • (b) Each person responsible for supervising the manufacture, processing, packing, or holding of a drug product shall have the education, training, and experience, or any combination thereof, to perform assigned functions in such a manner as to provide assurance that the drug product has the safety, identity, strength, quality, and purity that it purports or is represented to possess. • (c) There shall be an adequate number of qualified personnel to perform and supervise the manufacture, processing, packing, or holding of each drug product.

  30. Quality Assurance vs. Quality Control Quality Assurance Quality Control A series of analytical measurements used to assess the quality of the analytical data (The “tools”) An overall management plan to guarantee the integrity of data (The “system”)

  31. True Value The known, accepted value of a quantifiable property Measured Value The result of an individual’s measurement of a quantifiable property True Value vs. Measured Value

  32. Accuracy How well a measurement agrees with an accepted value Precision How well a series of measurements agree with each other Accuracy vs. Precision

  33. Systematic Error Avoidable error due to controllable variables in a measurement. Random Errors Unavoidable errors that are always present in any measurement. Impossible to eliminate Systematic vs. Random Errors

  34. Quality Control Measures • Standards and Calibration • Blanks • Recovery Studies • Precision and Accuracy Studies • Method Detection Limits • State Laws

  35. Standards and Calibration • Prepared vs. Purchased Standard • Signals: Peak Area, Beer’s Law • Calibration Curves • Continuing Calibration Checks • Internal Standards • Performance Testing

  36. The concentration of the analyte and Calibration Curves Graphical representation of the relationship between: • The analytical signal

  37. Continuing Calibration Verification • Many methods don’t require that daily calibration curves are prepared • A “calibration verification” is • analyzed with each batch of samples

  38. Sample Batch • 10 - 20 samples (method defined) or less • Same matrix • Same sample prep and analysis • Contains a full set of • QC samples

  39. Internal Standards • A compoundchemically similar to the analyte • Not expected to be present in the sample • Cannot interfere in the analysis • Added to the calibration standards and to the samples in identical amounts

  40. Internal Standards • Refines the calibration process • Analytical signals for calibration standards are compared to those for internal standards • Eliminates differences in random and systematic errors between samples and standards

  41. Performance Testing Blind samples submitted to laboratories ? ? ? Labs must periodically analyze with acceptable results in order to maintain accreditation

  42. Blanks, Blanks, Blanks • Laboratory Reagent Blanks • Instrument Blanks • Field Reagent Blanks • Trip Blanks

  43. Laboratory Reagent Blanks • Contains every reagent used in the analysis • Is subjected to all analytical procedures • Must give signal below detection limit • Most methods require one with every batch

  44. Instrument Blank • A clean sample (e.g., distilled water) processed through the instrumental steps of the measurement process; used to determine instrument contamination

  45. Field Reagent Blanks • Prepared in the lab, taken to the field • Opened at the sampling site, exposed to sampling equipment, returned to the lab.

  46. Trip Blanks • Prepared in the lab, taken to the field • Not opened • Returned to the lab • Not always required in EPA methods

  47. Recovery Studies • Matrix Spikes • Laboratory Control Samples • Surrogates

  48. Matrix Spikes • Sample spiked with a known amount of analyte • Subjected to all sample prep and analytical procedures • Determines the effect of the matrix on analyte recovery • Normally one per batch
