Introduction

         The NDA application is the vehicle through which drug
sponsors formally propose that the FDA approve a new
pharmaceutical product for sale and marketing in the country.

            The data gathered during the animal studies and human
clinical trials of an Investigational New Drug (IND) become part of
the NDA.

        For decades, the regulation and control of new drugs in the
United States has been based on the New Drug Application (NDA).
Since 1938, every new drug has been the subject of an approved
NDA before U.S. commercialization.
Introduction

       The documentation required in an NDA is supposed to
tell the drug's whole story, including what happened during
the clinical tests, what the ingredients of the drug are, the
results of the animal studies, how the drug behaves in the
body, and how it is manufactured, processed and packaged.
New FDCs for approval for Marketing:
1) One or more of the active ingredients is a
   Drug
2) Active drug is approved individually but
   are combined for first time.
3)FDCs which are already marketed , but in which
  it is proposed either to change the ratio of active
  ingredients or to make a new therapeutic claim.
4)FDCs include those whose active ingredients
  have been widely used in particular indications
  for years their concomitant use is often
  necessary and no claim is proposed to be made
  other than convenience
Guidance Documents for NDAs




   Guidance documents represent the Agency's
    current thinking on a particular subject.

   These documents are prepared for FDA review
    staff and applicants/sponsors to provide
    guidelines to the processing, content, and
    evaluation/approval of applications and also to
    the design, production, manufacturing, and
    testing of regulated products.
Guidance Documents for NDAs


   They also establish policies intended to
    achieve consistency in the Agency's
    regulatory approach and establish inspection
    and enforcement procedures. Because
    guidances are not regulations or laws, they
    are not enforceable, either through
    administrative actions or through the courts.

    An alternative approach may be used if
    such approach satisfies the requirements of
    the applicable statute, regulations, or both.
Goals of the NDA

   The goals of the NDA are to provide enough
    information to permit FDA reviewer to reach the
    following key decisions:
 Whether the drug is safe and effective in its proposed
  uses, and whether the benefits of the drug outweigh the
  risks.
 Whether the drug's proposed labeling (package insert) is
  appropriate, and what it should contain.
 Whether the methods used in manufacturing the drug
  and the controls used to maintain the drug's quality are
  adequate to preserve the drug's identity, strength,
  quality, and purity.
   Data required to be submitted with application for
    permission to market a New Drug:


1)Introduction
Brief introduction of the drug and the therapeutic class it belongs.

2) Chemical and Pharmaceutical information.
 Information of active ingredients eg; Generic name , INN.
 Physiochemical Data eg; Chemical name , structure , emperical Formula
   , mol wt.
   Physical properties eg; Solubility , Rotation, Partition coefficient,
   Dissociation constant.
 Analytiacal data eg;Elemental Analysis,Mass,NMR,IR,UV
   spectra,Polymorphic identification.
 Complete Monograph Specification including eg; quantification of
   impurities ,Enantiomeric purity,Assay.
 Dosage form and its composition.
 Specification of active and inactive ingredients.
 Outline of the method of the manufacture of the active ingredient.

   Specific pharmacological actions.
   General pharmacological actions.
   Follow up and Supplemental safety pharmacological studies
   pharmaacokinetics: absorption,distribution,metabolism,excretion.

    marketed
    Approved
    Approved as IND
    Withdrawn if any with reasons.
    Restrictions on use,if any,in countries where marketed.
    Free sale certificate or certificate of analysis,as appropriate.
