Drugs/Biologics

Investigational drugs or biological products must be studied under an Investigation New Drug Application (IND) if the indication and the manner they are being used is not approved for marketing by the FDA. Drug INDs are managed through the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research within the FDA. Biologic INDs are managed through the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research within the FDA. If you are unsure whether your study would require an IND or if it meets the criteria for IND exemption, please contact the FDA program at VCU at indide@vcu.edu.
