  • 1.  Placebo information in IND -CTD document

    Posted 27-Jun-2022 12:34
    Hi All,
    What's the practice for placing Placebo information in IND CTD documents; 3R or 3P?
    Since there's no clear direction or suggestions from the FDA, what practice would be best possible and what would be the technical justification for that.
    Thanks

    Dear Pallavi,

    The matching placebo is considered an investigational product (comparator) and belongs in 3P as part of material being investigated during the clinical trial.  In accordance with Guidance for Industry M4Q: The CTD Quality 3R is for additional DS and DP information specific to each region.

    Best,

    Dar​

    Dear Pallavi,
    The matching placebo of the active drug product is considered as an Investigational Medicinal Product. The corresponding matching placebo M3 information can be submitted as a separate 3.2.P sections similar to the active drug product. This is the practice most of the companies follow in the US and also Ex-US countries. It will be accepted by the HA and no issues at all.

    Good Luck!

    Same practice here - we create a 3.2.P - Placebo section. The amount of information in that section depends on the placebo (whether it's purchased commercially, etc.).

    Agreed, ideally, it goes under 3.2.P same as we discuss different drug products under one section. The guideline suggests that the presentation of drug products should be under one drug product section.
