    We are an academic institution who is looking to set up a GMP facility for the manufacturing of radiopharmaceuticals.  We are a little unsure of if anything should be submitted to the FDA to prove that it will follow GMP.  Does anyone have any advice?

    Please contact your FDA District office for any guidance!

    Hi Anon

    This may depend on exactly what you're planning to do with the radiopharmaceuticals. Is it an investigational product? For example, see this list of phases in the development process:

    https://www.fda.gov/patients/learn-about-drug-and-device-approvals/drug-development-process

    https://www.fda.gov/drugs/development-approval-process-drugs

    The GMP guidance may also be interesting.

    Besides the FDA rules relevant to whatever type of product you're working on, make sure to check the applicable NRC rules:
