Rare diseases are characterized by a broad diversity of disorders and symptoms that vary not only from disease to disease but also from patient to patient suffering from the same disease. Rare diseases can be chronic, progressive, degenerative, and often life-threatening. Given the small patient populations, traditional development pathways may not be relevant or necessary, requiring novel and innovative approaches. From a market access perspective, lack of comparative effectiveness and long-term outcomes data can lead to delays in reimbursement and significant post-launch evidence generation commitments. Treatment costs and patient benefits may not be matched over time giving rise to difficulties with assessing the value and establishing the necessary funding pathways. VCLS is at the forefront of designing new strategies to bring effective and timely treatments to patients in these high unmet need rare disease areas.

Creating a Comprehensive Drug Development PlanCovance
This white paper provides an overview of creating an integrated drug development plan, overcoming common development challenges and devising strategies that increase the likelihood of delivering a new, approved medicine to patients.
The document discusses the process for submitting a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA for approval of a new pharmaceutical. It explains that an NDA contains extensive information on the drug's safety and efficacy established during clinical trials. The FDA assembles review teams to evaluate the NDA across several technical sections including chemistry, non-clinical studies, clinical data, and labeling. The review process involves determining if the application is complete and classifying it for either priority or standard review, with priority given to drugs that would significantly improve treatment options.
Biologics are complex protein structures derived from living organisms. Their development and regulation involves several key aspects not required for conventional drugs, including additional pre-clinical toxicology and manufacturing studies as well as special programs like orphan drug designation. The IND and BLA processes require comprehensive documentation of quality, safety and efficacy. After approval, biologics face ongoing post-market safety reporting and review of any manufacturing changes to ensure continued patient protection.
Audit and Inspection in Clinical ResearchClinosolIndia
Audit and inspection are two critical components of quality assurance in the pharmaceutical industry. Both are essential for ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and for identifying areas where improvements can be made in quality systems.
An audit is a systematic and independent examination of a company's quality system to determine whether it meets the requirements of applicable regulations and standards. The audit process involves reviewing documentation, procedures, and practices to identify potential areas of non-compliance and areas for improvement. The audit can be internal, where a company audits its own quality system, or external, where an independent third-party audits the quality system.
Inspection, on the other hand, is a regulatory process conducted by government authorities to ensure that a company's quality system is compliant with regulations and standards. The inspection process involves a review of a company's facilities, procedures, and documentation to determine whether they meet regulatory requirements. Inspections may be conducted on a routine basis or may be triggered by specific events, such as a product recall or a serious adverse event.
During an audit or inspection, the auditors or inspectors will typically review a range of documents and processes, including:
Standard operating procedures (SOPs) for quality control and quality assurance
Documentation of manufacturing processes and quality control testing
Personnel training records and qualifications
Equipment and facility maintenance and cleaning records
Complaint and deviation handling procedures
Batch records and release testing
The goal of an audit or inspection is to identify any deficiencies in the quality system that could impact product quality or patient safety. Depending on the severity of any non-compliance identified, regulatory action may be taken, such as issuing a warning letter or suspending a company's manufacturing license.
Overall, audits and inspections play a critical role in ensuring the safety, efficacy, and quality of pharmaceutical products, and are an essential part of the regulatory process for the pharmaceutical industry.

Balancing post-market monitoring with pre-market requirementsTGA Australia
Dr Jane Cook discusses balancing pre-market requirements with post-market monitoring of new drugs. International trends show increased demand for early access to promising new therapies and different regulatory approaches between Europe and the US. This includes adaptive licensing in Europe and breakthrough therapy designation in the US. Ensuring benefits are realized requires effective post-market monitoring as initial trials may overstate benefits or overlook safety issues. Opportunities exist to learn from other regulators and focus on the drug lifecycle to confirm benefits, inform patients of limitations, and withdraw products if risks outweigh benefits.
This document provides guidance on IND (Investigational New Drug) regulations for initial Phase 1 clinical trials. It clarifies that Phase 1 IND submissions require basic information to ensure safety rather than detailed development plans. For protocols, manufacturing information, and other sections, flexibility is allowed to adapt to early study results. The focus should be on safety aspects like monitoring and dose adjustments rather than predetermined experimental designs. This guidance aims to help sponsors provide sufficient information without being overly burdensome for early phase trials.
This study analyzed drug development programs submitted under Section 505(b)(2) of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to determine differences between chemical classifications. It found that most programs required clinical evidence, except some Class 3 programs relying on bioavailability studies. Programs generally needed 1-3 clinical studies on average for approval. Manufacturing issues commonly caused review extensions or incomplete applications. Insights from this analysis can increase regulatory and development efficiency.
The document summarizes a literature review examining decision-making methodologies used in health technology appraisal processes. It describes common decision criteria identified in the literature, including efficacy, safety, disease burden, quality of evidence, ethics and cost-effectiveness. Decision-making methods reviewed integrate these criteria through approaches like assigning weights, ranking criteria or using decision rules. The literature search included publications from organizations in several countries.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Biomarker validation and testing
1. Biomarker Validation and Testing: FDA
Evidentiary Framework Drafts Guidance
Biomarker testing and validation in the drug development process is an essential
element and a crucial tool for the decision-making process. However, initially, these
biomarkers were process-specific, and there was no prescribed regulatory process to
ascertain the broader use of these biomarker assays for programs apart from the
specific drug programs they were used for.
This guidance aims to cover the regulatory gap observed in terms of the extended use
of biomarkers beyond specific programs.
Components of the Evidentiary Framework
2. There are four main components involved in the evidentiary framework considered while
determining the evidence that is required for a biomarker to qualify:
● Details of the need for drug development
● Defining the context of use (COU)
● In the case of qualification, considering the possible benefits and risks
● Evidence to support qualification
Needs Assessment
This section illustrates why a biomarker is required for drug development. It describes
the following aspects:
● How the use of a biomarker promotes drug development
● Current landscape of drug development
● Use and limitations of biomarkers
● Use and development of other drug development tools
● Value addition with a novel biomarker
● Analysis of unmet medical needs Bangkok
● Other factors deemed necessary by FDA
Context of Use
The COU describes the precise use of a biomarker in drug development. There are two
components that come under it:
● Biomarker Category
● Monitoring biomarker
3. ● Diagnostic biomarker
● Prognostic biomarker
● Pharmacodynamic or response biomarker
● Predictive biomarker
● Safety biomarker
● Susceptibility/risk biomarker
● Proposed use in drug development
● Purpose of use
● Proposed stage in which it will be used
● Clinical trial population
● Therapeutic mechanism of action
Risk and Benefits Assessment
It is important to provide clear and objective descriptions are of the foreseeable risks
and benefits as well as risk alleviation strategies for the purpose of biomarker
qualification.
Following are the pointers that can help characterize the same:
● Value addition of the biomarker to drug development
● Tools available for the use of the biomarker
● Anticipated consequences in case the biomarker proves to be unsuitable
● Tools to mitigate risks in case the biomarker fails to perform as intended
Evidence to support qualification
4. The evidence necessary for qualification depends on the COU of a biomarker and its
benefits and risks. The strength of evidence required for qualification depends in two
factors:
● In case the benefits outweigh the risks or if there are acceptable
approaches for risk mitigation the required strength could be lower.
● In case the benefits outweigh the risks negligibly, the expected strength of
evidence should be higher.
Apart from these essential components, there are other considerations essential for
biomarker qualification such as Analytical Considerations and Statistical Considerations.
This information is very important in case you want to make use of existing biomarkers
for a different process. The available information helps reduce the time taken for
biomarker qualification.
This FDA guidance does not create a legal responsibility and provides
recommendations only. The full draft is available for review on the FDA website.
