Keys to a Successful IND Filing

This NCI SBIR PLAN Webinar Series focuses on: Keys to a Successful IND Filing

When taking steps to commercialize the therapeutics, the company's clinical study sponsor must submit an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in order to request permission to administer an experimental medication or biological product to human subjects.

The topics discussed include:

  • Considerations for hiring regulatory consultants
  • Pre-IND meetings
  • Utilizing SBIR funds toward IND-enabling studies
  • IND pitfalls
  • Resources for process & product development
  • Clinical Protocols
