SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The public workshop helps fulfill the Department of Health and Human Services' and FDA's important mission to protect the public health. The workshop will provide those engaged in FDA-regulated (human) clinical trials with information on a number of topics concerning FDA requirements related to informed consent, clinical investigation requirements, institutional review board inspections, electronic record requirements, and investigator initiated research. Topics for discussion include the following: (1) What FDA expects in a pharmaceutical clinical trial; (2) adverse event reporting science, regulation, error, and safety; (3) Part 11 Compliance-Electronic Signatures; (4) informed consent regulations; (5) IRB regulations and FDA inspections; (6) keeping informed and working together; (7) FDA conduct of clinical investigator inspections; (8) meetings with FDA: why, when, and how; (9) investigator initiated research; (10) medical device aspects of clinical research; (11) working with FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research; and (12) The inspection is over-what happens next? What are the possible FDA compliance actions?
FDA has made education of the drug and device manufacturing community a high priority to help ensure the quality of FDA-regulated drugs and devices. The public workshop helps to achieve objectives set forth in section 406 of the FDA Modernization Act of 1997 (21 U.S.C. 393) which includes working closely with stakeholders and maximizing the availability and clarity of information to stakeholders and the public. The workshop also is consistent with the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-121) as an outreach activity by Government agencies to small businesses.
