Abstract

The purpose of an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) is to demonstrate that a product is reasonably safe for first-time use in humans. Several types of INDs exist, based on who is submitting (Investigator IND versus an IND submitted by a sponsor); the urgency of use of the investigational drug (Emergency use IND or Treatment IND); or the regulatory strategy (traditional IND versus Exploratory IND). This chapter describes a traditional IND, the most commonly used type and the IND most regulatory writers will prepare.
