this document notifies FDA of relevant changes in investigators conducting
clinical trials under the IND. Correct Ans - Form FDA 1572
What is the timeline of drug development? Correct Ans - Preclinical
trials, IND Submission,
Clinical Development (Phase I-III), NDA submission,
Marketing (Phase IV)
When does a sponsor submit the IND? Correct Ans - Prior to clinical
development phases (human trials). *30 day process.

to Phase IV marketing phase.
How long does the NDA submission take? Correct Ans - 6 months - 2
years.
What is determined for a drug in the preclinical phase Correct Ans -
Pharmacokinetics and bioavailability Outcome shows promise of safety and
efficacy warranting additional studying.

Determine the trial phase:
- Assess toxicity
- Determine drug's PK and PD profiles
- Determine doses resulting in sufficient biological level of drug Correct
Ans - Phase I
Determine the trial phase:
- Determine drug's effectiveness (primary goal)
- Determine long-term drug safety
- Confirm findings Correct Ans - Phase III
Determine the trial phase:
- Determine drug's short-term risk (safety) (primary goal)
- Examine preliminary effectiveness of drug Correct Ans - Phase II
Determine the trial phase from the subject population:
Controlled studies enrolling limited numbers of patients Correct Ans -
Phase II
Determine the trial phase from the subject population:
Controlled and uncontrolled studies (but typically placebo-controlled and
double-blinded) enrolling larger patient numbers. Correct Ans - Phase
III
Determine the trial phase from the subject population:
Normal healthy volunteers unless toxicity prevents exposure (e.g, cancer
drugs). In this, case patients with end-stage disease might be enrolled.
Correct Ans - Phase I

Electronic Signatures-Scope and Application (2003) and Guidance for
Industry: Computerized Systems Used in Clinical Investigations (2007). ** The
2007 guidance "supplements the 2003 guidance"

for postoperative pain control will enroll 55 patients in each arm. Which of the
following best describes the clinical phase of this study? Correct Ans -
Phase 2
Adults with more than a 12-month history of migraines were assigned
randomly in a double-blinded study to receive treatment with experimental
drug X (10 or 20 mg/day) or placebo. The primary efficacy measure was the
reduction in severity of the migraine attacks. Enrollment was 1200 subjects.
Which of the following best describes the clinical phase of this study?
Correct Ans - Phase 3
Long-term toxicology of an experimental drug in animals most likely refers to
which part of drug development? Correct Ans - Preclinical
