submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.

Investigational New Drug (IND) Regulations--21 CFR Part 312 (OMB 
Control Number 0910-0014)--Extension

    FDA is requesting OMB approval for the reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements contained in FDA regulations entitled ``Investigational 
New Drug Application'' in part 312 (21 CFR part 312). Part 312 
implements provisions of section 505(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(i)) to issue regulations 
under which the clinical investigation of the safety and effectiveness 
of unapproved new drugs and biological products can be conducted.
    FDA is charged with implementing statutory requirements that drug 
products marketed in the United States be shown to be safe and 
effective, properly manufactured, and properly labeled for their 
intended uses. Section 505(a) of the FD&C Act provides that a new drug 
may not be introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate 
commerce in the United States unless FDA has previously approved a new 
drug application (NDA). FDA approves an NDA only if the sponsor of the 
application first demonstrates that the drug is safe and effective for 
the conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the product's 
labeling. Proof must consist, in part, of adequate and well-controlled 
studies, including studies in humans, that are conducted by qualified 
experts. The IND regulations establish reporting requirements that 
include an initial application as well as amendments to that 
application, reports on significant revisions of clinical investigation 
plans, and information on a drug's safety or effectiveness. In 
addition, the sponsor is required to give FDA an annual summary of the 
previous year's clinical experience.
    Submissions are reviewed by medical officers and other Agency 
scientific reviewers assigned responsibility for overseeing the 
specific study. The IND regulations also contain recordkeeping 
requirements that pertain to the responsibilities of sponsors and 
investigators. The detail and complexity of these requirements are 
dictated by the scientific procedures and human subject safeguards that 
must be followed in the clinical tests of investigational new drugs.
    The IND information collection requirements provide the means by 
which FDA can monitor the clinical investigation of the safety and 
effectiveness of unapproved new drugs and biological products, 
including the following: (1) Monitor the safety of ongoing clinical 
investigations; (2) determine whether the clinical testing of a drug 
should be authorized; (3) ensure production of reliable data on the 
metabolism and pharmacological action of the drug in humans; (4) obtain 
timely information on adverse reactions to the drug; (5) obtain 
information on side effects associated with increasing doses; (6) 
obtain information on the drug's effectiveness; (7) ensure the design 
of well-controlled, scientifically valid studies; and (8) obtain other 
information pertinent to determining whether clinical testing should be 
continued, and information related to the protection of human subjects. 
Without the information provided by industry as required under the IND 
regulations, FDA cannot authorize or monitor the clinical 
investigations which must be conducted prior to authorizing the sale 
and general use of new drugs. These reports enable FDA to monitor a 
study's

[[Page 11450]]

progress, to assure subject safety, to assure that a study will be 
conducted ethically, and to increase the likelihood that the sponsor 
will conduct studies that will be useful in determining whether the 
drug should be marketed and available for use in medical practice.
    There are two forms that are required under part 312:
    Form FDA-1571--``Investigational New Drug Application.'' A person 
who intends to conduct a clinical investigation submits this form to 
FDA. It includes the following information:
    (1) A cover sheet containing background information on the sponsor 
and investigator;
    (2) A table of contents;
    (3) An introductory statement and general investigational plan;
    (4) An investigator's brochure describing the drug substance;
    (5) A protocol for each planned study;
    (6) Chemistry, manufacturing, and control information for each 
investigation;
    (7) Pharmacology and toxicology information for each investigation; 
and
    (8) Previous human experience with the investigational drug.
    Form FDA-1572--``Investigator Statement.'' Before permitting an 
investigator to begin participation in an investigation, the sponsor 
must obtain and record this form. It includes background information on 
the investigator and the investigation, and a general outline of the 
planned investigation and the study protocol.
    FDA is requesting OMB approval for the following reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements in part 312.
