Summary

IND Submissions: A Primer provides a "hands-on" approach that teaches regulatory professionals - novice and veteran alike - to work with the regulations, guidance documents, content templates, contributing authors, and style guides necessary to write an IND. The book's writing tips show regulatory professionals how to produce a range of U.S. drug and biologics submissions that comply with the requirements and are also clear to read. Included with the book is a CD filled with electronic examples.

IND Submissions: A Primer is the only comprehensive IND manual of its kind. This 600-page, spiral-bound, hardcover book is easy to use, providing step-by-step instructions on how to plan, write, and submit regulatory documents. Each chapter (62 in total) is divided by easy-to-read tabs. It is the ideal resource for new professionals entering the field, a useful training guide, and a valuable reference for the experienced professional.

Specific topics include:

  • Regulations and guidance document references
  • Overview and background of why the submission is required
  • Structure of the submission itself
  • Details on who should contribute to the submission
  • Where to pull, re-use, or start as a basis for information needed in a submission
  • Tips and lessons learned from the author's experience
  • Different perspectives on how a submission can be approached
  • Applicable FDA Form 1571 information for each submission
  • Paper publishing tips
  • Electronic CTD publishing sections for each submission, where applicable
  • Real life examples taken from the press and approved NDAs when available
  • Electronic examples and content templates to utilize so that an RA professional can begin immediately working on a submission
