How Are New Drugs Approved?
The FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), is responsible for monitoring the safety of pharmaceutical drugs sold to American consumers. Before a drug can be marketed, a company must prove that the drug is both safe and effective for treating a particular illness or medical condition. The benefits of using the drug must outweigh the risks to the patient. The company is required to conduct extensive studies in the laboratory (pre-clinical testing) and to show that the drug is safe and effective in controlled human clinical trials. This information is ultimately used to write the drug’s label, a set of instructions that will direct doctors and patients on how to use the drug appropriately. Data from pre-clinical and clinical trials are submitted to the FDA for review in the form of a New Drug Application (NDA). Before the drug can be marketed, the NDA must receive the FDA’s approval. The entire drug development, approval, manufacturing, safety reporting, and marketing process is regulated by the federal government in set of rules and regulations codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
Despite Drug Regulation Consumers Are Vulnerable
Although the pharmaceutical industry is regulated; the FDA, healthcare community, and public rely on pharmaceutical companies to be accurate, honest, transparent, and timely when providing preclinical, clinical trial, and post marketing safety data to the FDA for review. Tragically, this is where companies often fall short. For example, by failing to accurately interpret safety data, or by failing to promptly provide the FDA, medical community, and public with new safety information, patients are placed at an increased risk for experiencing adverse drug reactions that can result in serious injury or death.
