FDA Form 1572 - Guidance on the FDA's Statement of Investigator Form

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 11:33:05 -0600

In July 2008, FDA released a draft guidance to answer frequent questions about Form FDA-1572, also called the Statement of Investigator form. A Food and Drug Administration Guidance is non-binding, but it does serve as useful information on how to interpret the agency's regulations. Keep in mind that this is only a draft; with the recent change in administration this draft may never be released as final or it may be significantly modified.

FDA’s Bioresearch Monitoring (BIMO) Inspections

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 18:47:29 -0500

BIMO, the Bioresearch Monitoring Program, is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) program of on-site inspections to ensure the quality and integrity of the data submitted to the agency from regulated clinical trials of investigational drugs, devices, and biologics. Inspections are made both in the U.S. and internationally at clinical investigator sites, institutional review boards (IRBs), and sponsors (e.g., pharmaceutical, medical device, and biologic companies, including monitors and contract research organizations or CR0s working under the sponsor).

The Historical Rise of Pharmaceutical Regulation

Sun, 01 Jan 1995 00:00:00 -0600

The first rumblings for US drug legislation began after the Civil War, which had spurred the separation of drug manufacturers from drug prescribers and drug dispensers. This was the time of the traveling medicine shows selling dangerous, addictive or just non-sense patent medicines. Today's pharmaceutical companies got their start in the apothecary shops of that time, but still, most drugs were imported from Europe. In fact the U.S was a dumping ground for substandard and contaminated drugs.

The Adventures of SuperMonitor

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 11:27:50 -0500

A Bedtime Story for the Young Clinical Research Associate.

Second only to being a father to my son, the most important and fulfilling job I’ve ever had was being a Clinical Research Associate (CRA). Monitoring a study, like parenting a child, is a tremendous responsibility. When you are a Clinical Research Associate, millions of people — or perhaps that one innocent child — depend on you to ensuring the study integrity, so that only safe and effective products reach the marketplace.

Committed to the Quest

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 11:27:05 -0500

… or Why I Became a Clinical Research Professional.

It all started because of a commitment I made when I was too young to understand into what I was getting myself. My mother had headaches, you see. Not the usual “throbbing-in-the-temples” kind of headaches, but the “gut-wrenching, totally incapacitating, rip-the-carpet-out-with-your-bare-hands” kind of headaches. Migraine, cluster headache, trigeminal neuralgia—whatever the flavor, they were bad. Really bad.

Time Management for the Research Professional

Mon, 01 Jan 1996 10:25:51 -0600

It's been said that a pharmaceutical company loses $1 million for every day of delay during clinical research and development. This is a theoretical cost related to the dramatic reduction in sales when a drug product loses patent protection and becomes subject to generic competition. Nevertheless, the fact remains that, as clinical research professionals, we must be excellent managers, not just of others, but of our own time, as well.

...or Why I'm Not a Singing CRA.

During those confusing and wondrous years, when a young man ponders his career choices, my dream was to become a singer-songwriter. Blowing my hard-earned profits from an after school job on a multi-track recorder, I spent precious study time mixing down vocal, guitar and synthesizer tracks composing what would surely become the next big platinum album.buy footwear Nike nike lebron xiii low image resolution Red Black White - Buy Air Jordan 1 Retro (white / black / varsity red), Price: $60.85 - Air Jordan Shoes

Clinical Research Regulation: FDA vs. ICH

Sat, 02 Jan 1999 11:28:50 -0600

On May 9th, 1997, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published in the FEDERAL REGISTER (vol. 62, No 90), the latest rendition of the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Guideline covering the conduct of clinical research studies in the seven member nations. Guidelines represent the agency's current thinking on Good Clinical Practices, but do not bind the FDA or the public. However, most clinical research studies are now being conducted in compliance with this guideline, especially if the results might be used for an international regulatory submission. Here are the major differences.
