Investigational New Drug (IND) Application: Your Gateway to Clinical Trials

One Stop Solution for Life Sciences 

Navigating the regulatory landscape of drug development can be complex. At BioBoston Consulting, we simplify the process of submitting Investigational New Drug (IND) applications to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ensuring your path to clinical trials is efficient and compliant. 

 

What Is an Investigational New Drug (IND) Application? 

An IND application is a formal request submitted to the FDA seeking authorization to administer an investigational drug or biological product to humans. This application is essential before initiating clinical trials and shipping the investigational product across state lines. The primary objective is to demonstrate the drug’s safety and pharmacological activity in early-stage clinical studies while ensuring it does not pose unreasonable risks to human subjects  

 

Why Is the IND Application Important? 

The IND application serves as a critical gateway in drug development, allowing sponsors to: 

• Initiate Clinical Trials: Obtain FDA authorization to begin human clinical studies. 

• Ensure Compliance: Adhere to regulatory requirements set forth by the FDA. 

• Protect Human Subjects: Demonstrate that the investigational drug is safe for human testing. 

• Facilitate Drug Development: Advance the drug through various phases of clinical trials. 

Without an approved IND, sponsors cannot legally administer the investigational drug to humans or ship it across state lines, potentially delaying the development process.
