 FDA Guidance Documents



Adaptive Design Clinical Trials for Drugs and Biologics



This guidance provides sponsors and the review staff in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with information regarding adaptive design clinical trials when used in drug development programs. This guidance gives advice on topics such as (1) what aspects of adaptive design trials (i.e., clinical, statistical, regulatory) call for special consideration, (2) when to interact with FDA while planning and conducting adaptive design studies, (3) what information to include in the adaptive design for FDA review, and (4) issues to consider in the evaluation of a completed adaptive design study. This guidance is intended to assist sponsors in planning and conducting adaptive design clinical studies, and to facilitate an efficient FDA 26 review.

Non-Inferiority Clinical Trials



This guidance provides sponsors and review staff in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and Center for Biologic Evaluation and Research (CBER) at the Food and 18 Drug Administration (FDA) with our interpretation of the underlying principles involved in the use of non-inferiority (NI) study designs to provide evidence of the effectiveness of a drug or biologic.2 The guidance gives advice on when NI studies can be interpretable, on how to choose the NI margin, and how to analyze the results.

Guidance for Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) Frequently Asked Questions - IRB Registration

This guidance is intended to assist institutional review boards (IRBs) in complying with the new requirement for IRB registration. (See 74 FR 2358 (Jan. 15, 2009))1 This requirement is an amendment to Part 56, Institutional Review Boards, (21 CFR 56.106), that requires each IRB in the United States (U.S.) that reviews FDA-regulated studies to register

Investigator Responsibilities - Protecting the Rights, Safety, and Welfare of Study Subjects

This guidance provides an overview of the responsibilities of a person who conducts a clinical investigation of a drug, biological product, or medical device (an investigator as defined in 21 CFR 312.3(b) and 21 CFR 812.3(i)). The goal of this guidance is to help investigators better meet their responsibilities with respect to protecting human subjects and ensuring the integrity of the data from clinical investigations. This guidance is intended to clarify for investigators and sponsors FDA's expectations concerning the investigator's responsibility (1) to supervise a clinical study in which some study tasks are delegated to employees or colleagues of the investigator or other third parties and (2) to protect the rights, safety, and welfare of study subjects.
