Launch Your Drug Development Journey with BioBoston Consulting’s IND Application Services

Bring your drug candidate from discovery to first‑in‑human trials with precision. BioBoston Consulting provides end‑to‑end IND application support and regulatory strategy services to help sponsors prepare robust Investigational New Drug (IND) submissions, secure FDA authorization, and accelerate Phase I clinical trial initiation.

What Is an IND Application

An Investigational New Drug (IND) application is the regulatory submission that permits the legal initiation of clinical trials in the United States. A complete IND includes high‑quality preclinical data, comprehensive CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls) information, well‑designed clinical protocols, and the Investigator’s Brochure and informed consent documents. BioBoston Consulting helps you compile, review, and format each component to meet FDA expectations.

Why an IND Application Matters for Your Program

• Regulatory compliance: Conducting human trials without a cleared IND is illegal and exposes sponsors to enforcement.
• Scientific validation: The IND demonstrates that preclinical pharmacology and toxicology support first‑in‑human testing.
• Clinical authorization: IND clearance enables Phase I trials to begin and provides a foundation for later submissions (NDA/BLA).
• Investor confidence: IND approval de‑risks development and signals regulatory progress to stakeholders.

BioBoston Consulting’s End‑to‑End IND Services

• Strategic regulatory planning: Determine the right IND type (commercial vs. research), design submission timelines, and align development milestones with regulatory goals.
• Pre‑IND meeting support: Prepare briefing packages, mock Q&A, and regulatory strategies to maximize FDA feedback.
• Document preparation and review: Draft and quality‑check preclinical summaries, CMC sections, clinical protocols, Investigator’s Brochure, and informed consent forms.
• eCTD formatting and submission management: Ensure submission accuracy, traceability, and FDA‑acceptable eCTD structure.
• Clinical trial readiness: Support IRB submissions, site selection, investigator training, and safety monitoring plans.
• FDA correspondence and response management: Rapidly address FDA questions and deficiencies to minimize review cycles.

Common IND Pitfalls and How We Prevent Them

• Missing or inconsistent toxicology data → We verify GLP study completeness and interpretive summaries.
• Insufficient CMC detail → We strengthen analytical methods, stability reporting, and manufacturing controls.
• Weak protocol design → We help define clear endpoints, safety monitoring, and inclusion/exclusion criteria.
• Poor submission formatting → We deliver eCTD‑compliant dossiers with traceability and version control.

Best Practices for IND Success

• Start regulatory strategy early in preclinical development.
• Use a risk‑based approach to prioritize critical data packages.
• Align cross‑functional teams (R&D, quality, regulatory, clinical) during dossier preparation.
• Engage the FDA with a focused pre‑IND meeting to clarify expectations.
• Maintain robust documentation practices and data integrity across all studies.
