  • 1.  in vitro toxicology study in human tissues, module 4 or 5?

    Posted 18-Oct-2011 17:50

    Where does an in vitro study performed on human cells/tissues belong in the CTD: clinical or nonclinical?  The objective of such a study could be to show lack of a toxic effect of an investigational medicinal compound on the cell's proliferation, etc.  So the study is toxicology but in human tissues.

    I had studies to demonstrate permeability of product in  human tissue and I have put those in Module 4.  The FDA reviewer did not say anything about it.

    In vitro human tissue studies are commonplace in pharmacology, ADME and toxicology studies and are placed in Module 4.  It is a good idea to cross-reference, however, in Module 5. Good luck!

    I agree with the other posters; these studies belong in Module four.  Although in human tissues, they are not clinical studies but nonclinical studies.

    From my experience toxicology studies falls under module 4 (non-clinical), but cross reference to module 5  may not be a bad idea.
