Wondering if your investigator-initiated study will require an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) or an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE)?
UAMS Office of Research Regulatory Affairs (ORRA) Regulatory Unit will evaluate your study, in accordance with applicable regulations, to determine if an official filing with the FDA is required.
If a filing is required, the Regulatory Unit offers regulatory support by working closely with the FDA (for IND and Significant Risk IDE studies), Principal Investigator, study staff, and ORRA monitoring specialists throughout the life of the IND/IDE study to file and maintain necessary documentation and submit all required reports, including adverse events, protocol deviations, the addition of new studies to existing IND applications, annual reports, and any other elements necessary to comply with FDA regulations.
We maintain the regulatory relationship between UAMS and FDA throughout the life of each clinical trial, as applicable.
We also provide guidance/assistance with IRB submission and follow-up.
