  • Preclinical Development & IND Filing: Nuts, Bolts, Best Practices
    “Preclinical Development & IND Filing: Nuts, Bolts, Best Practices and Regulatory Aspects.” Speakers: Amit Kalgutkar (Pfizer), Chandra Prakash (Agios), Sanjeev Thohan (Novartis), Li- Chun Wang (Takeda), Wei Yin (Biogen) Organizers: Sanjeev Thohan and Chandra Prakash Date: 6/29/2017 Time: 8:30 am – 5.00 pm Location: Boston/Cambridge Area: Marriott Kendall Square, 50 Broadway, Cambridge MA 02142 Fees: $175 - Regular (before June 1st, 2017), $225 - Regular (after June 1st, 2017); $125 - Unemployed & Academic; $2000 - Major Sponsorship; $475 - Vendor Show Registration: www.PBSS.org Workshop Description: An investigational new drug application (IND) is an important milestone that marks the entry of a molecule into clinical development. Knowing the objectives, expectations and processes of assembling an IND is a key to not only successful filing, but also a promising clinical development path forward. Often there are cases where too many of our “nice-to-have” studies crowd the package at the expense of critical study needs/issues. This can lead to significant delays in clinical developments with back-and-forth of Q&A sessions both internally and with regulatory agencies. As we have seen, the regulatory landscape is changing as rapidly as the industry innovates into new therapeutic modalities. Therefore, it is critical to keep up to date on regulatory requirements and the industry’s best practices in different aspects of the IND: non- clinical safety, PK, CMC, and clinical plans. In this workshop, our speakers who bring years of experience with multiple successful IND filings, will discuss systematically the preclinical studies required for small molecule IND’s as well as the nuts and bolts of putting together a high–quality IND package.

  • United States District Court for the District of Columbia
    Case 1:12-cv-00472-BAH Document 42 Filed 07/05/12 Page 1 of 49 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ASTRAZENECA PHARMACEUTICALS LP, Plaintiff, v. Civil Action No. 12-00472 (BAH) Judge Beryl A. Howell FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, et al., Defendants. AMENDED MEMORANDUM OPINION Plaintiff AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP (“AstraZeneca”) has manufactured the drug quetiapine fumarate (“quetiapine”) under the brand name Seroquel® (“Seroquel”) since 1997 without generic competition. AstraZeneca brought this lawsuit, which presents a question of statutory interpretation, against the Food and Drug Administration, Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D., Commissioner of Food and Drugs, and Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services (collectively, “the FDA”), to challenge the FDA’s approval, on March 27, 2012, of generic versions of Seroquel. See Complaint, ECF No. 1 (“Compl.”), ¶ 3. AstraZeneca believes that, under the plain language of 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(5)(F)(iv), codifying Section 505(j)(5)(F)(iv) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”), it is entitled to total market exclusivity until December 2, 2012 for the safety information encapsulated in “Table 2,” which was approved for all Seroquel labels on December 2, 2009 and must be included on the labels of all generic versions of quetiapine. Based upon this belief, AstraZeneca seeks a judgment that the FDA’s recent approval of generic versions of quetiapine, while AstraZeneca retains exclusivity over Table 2, violated AstraZeneca’s exclusivity rights and was arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to law. 1 Case 1:12-cv-00472-BAH Document 42 Filed 07/05/12 Page 2 of 49 Pending before the Court are Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment filed by AstraZeneca, ECF No.

  • FDA Listing of Authorized Generics As of July 1, 2021
    FDA Listing of Authorized Generics as of July 1, 2021 Note: This list of authorized generic drugs (AGs) was created from a manual review of FDA’s database of annual reports submitted to the FDA since January 1, 1999 by sponsors of new drug applications (NDAs). Because the annual reports seldom indicate the date an AG initially entered the market, the column headed “Date Authorized Generic Entered Market” reflects the period covered by the annual report in which the AG was first reported. Subsequent marketing dates by the same firm or other firms are not included in this listing. As noted, in many cases FDA does not have information on whether the AG is still marketed and, if not still marketed, the date marketing ceased. Although attempts have been made to ensure that this list is as accurate as possible, given the volume of d ata reviewed and the possibility of database limitations or errors, users of this list are cautioned to independently verify the information on the list. We welcome comments on and suggested changes (e.g., additions and deletions) to the list, but the list may include only information that is included in an annual report. Please send suggested changes to the list, along with any supporting documentation to: [email protected] A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V X Y Z NDA Applicant Date Authorized Generic Proprietary Name Dosage Form Strength Name Entered the Market 1 ACANYA Gel 1.2% / 2.5% Bausch Health 07/2018 Americas, Inc.
