Foreign Clinical Trials not conducted under an IND (21 CFR 312.120)

Why Should You Attend:

FDA will not accept as support for an IND or application for marketing approval any study that does not meet the conditions of 21 CFR 312.120. Even so, sponsors must submit all studies and other information as required under the applicable regulations for drugs, including those studies that do not comply with the requirements because they will be examined for safety issues.

In this webinar we will review the guidance for investigator qualification, foreign research facility documentation, requirements for FDA review of foreign source documents, and access to original medical records and full CSRs. We will discuss required contents of waiver requests for unavoidable noncompliance situations and when these might be necessary, incentives, study monitoring and documentation of GCP training and compliance at the foreign site.

  • Overview of 21 CFR 312.120 requirements
  • Description of supporting information for foreign investigator qualifications, foreign research facility requirements and study monitoring documentation
