IND Application Services for Clinical Trial Readiness in Life Sciences

Your Trusted Partner for Navigating FDA Regulatory Pathways 

Starting clinical trials for a new drug or biologic hinges on successfully submitting an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). At BioBoston Consulting, we provide expert guidance and comprehensive services to help life sciences companies prepare and submit compliant IND applications that accelerate their path to clinical trials and regulatory success. 

 

What is an Investigational New Drug (IND) Application? 

An Investigational New Drug (IND) application is a critical regulatory filing that allows sponsors to begin human clinical trials of investigational drugs or biologics. This submission contains essential data such as preclinical study results, Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) information, and detailed clinical trial protocols. The IND assures the FDA that the investigational product is safe for initial use in humans and that the proposed clinical research is scientifically sound and ethically designed. 

 

Why the IND Application is Essential for Drug Development 

The IND application marks the transition from laboratory research to human testing and is indispensable for several reasons: 

• Legal Authorization for Clinical Trials: FDA approval of the IND is mandatory before administering the investigational drug to humans. 

• Regulatory Compliance: Ensures your development program aligns with federal standards and avoids costly delays. 

• Patient Safety Assurance: Demonstrates that risks to trial participants are minimized and ethically justified. 

• Accelerated Drug Development: Facilitates a smooth progression through clinical trial phases toward eventual FDA marketing approval. 

Without an approved IND, your investigational therapy cannot legally advance to Phase 1 clinical trials, resulting in project delays and increased costs.

Who Is Responsible for Submitting the IND? 

The IND sponsor—which may be a pharmaceutical company, academic research institution, government agency, or independent sponsor-investigator—is accountable for compiling and submitting the IND application. The sponsor must ensure all data on safety, quality, and compliance are accurate and complete.
