The FDA Regulatory Framework 

But before we get into the tactics of getting it approved, let’s understand the basics behind FDA regulatory framework: 

Product Types:

Determine what type of product you have — drug, medical device, biologic etc. 

Regulatory Pathways: Determine the correct regulatory pathway as per your product, be it NDA or BLA submission for new drugs and biologics, and 510(K)s for medical devices. 

Got to know regulatory requirements:

Go through all the necessary regulations and guidance, according to your product category. 

1: Preparing for Submission 

The path to FDA clearance starts with proper preparation: 

Regulatory Intelligence – Keep track of the shifting FDA guidelines and regulations that govern your product. 

File (Data/Documentation): Compile all the data and documentation required for submission, such as preclinical studies, clinical studies, quality control and manufacturing process. 

Regulatory Strategy: Prepare a regulatory strategy that complies with FDA guidance and the specific attributes of your product. 

2: Trial and Data Collection 

Clinical trials are a critical state for many life science products; 

Clinical Trial Design: Develop protocols, endpoints and patient populations in alignment with FDA requirements for data collection. 

Check Data Integrity: Check that the data is accurate and reliable across your trial process. 

Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Compliance: Data quality maintained by complying to GCP during clinical trials. 

3: Expert Guidance 

Work with regulatory experts to help you navigate the ins and outs: 

Regulatory Consultants: Work closely with seasoned regulatory consultants that can offer valuable knowledge and expertise. 

Legal Advice: Consultation with legal advisors having an FDA experience to cope up with the legal issues in the approval process. 

4: Submission and Review 

Apply for the FDA Review process 

Submit Electronically: Where applicable, make sure you upload your electronic submissions to the FDA via their Electronic Submissions Gateway (ESG) in the format they require. 

Be Willing to Wait: Have patience while the FDA reviews your application. They may come back with questions or request additional information. 

5: Post-Approval Compliance 

The battle persists even after FDA approval 

Post-Market surveillance: Organise a system of post-market surveillance to continuously supervise the safety and effectiveness of your device. 

Updates from Regulators: Always scrutinize for regulatory changes and updates that may impact your product.
