    Hello,

    I am looking to submit a Pre-IND meeting request to CDER at FDA. This does not include the briefing package as it is only a meeting request. Can someone please let me know if I can submit the meeting request via email. If yes, what should be the email address? If no, what are my options?

    Thank you in advance!

    Per the December 2017 Guidance on PDUFA meetings, a meeting request may be submitted by email but only as a courtesy copy. The official request has to be submitted on paper or electronically through the electronic submission gateway. The appropriate email address can be found for the review division to which you are submitting the request. If you have not had any contact there yet, contact the head project manager for the Division. You can find the information at https://www.fda.gov/about-fda/fda-organization/center-drug-evaluation-and-research-cder.

    Hello,

    Per the FDA Guidance on Formal meetings between FDA and Sponsor: 

    "When a meeting is needed, a written request must be submitted to the FDA via the respective center's document room (paper submissions) or via the electronic gateway, as appropriate. Requests should be addressed to the appropriate review division or office and, if previously assigned, submitted to the application (e.g., investigational new drug application (IND), new drug application (NDA), biologics license application (BLA)). Meeting requests sent by fax or email are considered courtesy copies only and are not a substitute for a formal submission."

    Best Regards,

    Hi Everyone, I need to submit a pre-IND meeting request to CBER. Please let me know if CBER accepts via the NextGen portal?  Or does it have to be via the electronic gateway?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you! May I ask the following please, for Vaccine IND.  Unfortunately, the link is giving an error message "...currently unavailable...". 

    • For the meeting package, the submission can not be via email and has to be via the ESG -- is that correct?
    • Does CBER  grant pIND # via email request, or is it a one time STN?
    • Would any one have a template/example for a pre-IND meeting package, with proprietary info removed. I found university examples online, but I am looking for commercial IND.

    Thanks

    Guidance for Industry: Formal Meetings Between the FDA and Sponsors or Applicants Section VII.C addresses the recommended content of the briefing book. Also, I strongly recommend including a TPP for the product, so the agency has an idea of what you specifically want to achieve for the marketed product. The guidance Target Product Profile - A Strategic Development Process Tool  is highly useful for this purpose.

    TPP is not required and if I am correct, it has been deleted from the FDA site! I personally agree that TPP is just a waste of time and should be kept internally with the company's drug development team

    I did not say TPP are required, I strongly encouraged their use. I did not find any indication online that the TPP guidance has been withdrawn. I did find an interesting CBER webinar on TPP:
    www.https://fda.yorkcast.com/webcast/Play/a53d0d5863244464b000249f1ddc9fd31d

    I also found a very good article on ways to supplement and improve the functionality of a TPP: 
    Target product profile: a planning tool for the drug development

    MOJ Bioequivalence & Bioavailability remove preview
    Target product profile: a planning tool for the drug development
    Drug development is a very expensive and time consuming process. Industries develop a tool known as Target Product Profile (TPP), which is simply a planning tool for the development of a drug candidate from discovery to clinical development programs. This establishes safety, efficacy, and marketing suitability of the drug.
    View this on MOJ Bioequivalence & Bioavailability >

    .
    When a sponsor does not make clear to FDA what they are attempting to achieve with indication, dosage form, dosing regimen, and many other elements of new drug development, the lack of communication only harms the sponsor, not the agency. A TPP is a living document that changes frequently and is never interpreted by FDA as engraved in stone. It also helps to show a sponsor where their preliminary plans are missing key pieces. If you are not comfortable sharing a TPP with the agency, then don't. There is no risk associated with sharing a TPP with FDA, but there can be multiple benefits, including potential advice that can save a sponsor time and money.
