Enforcement action … criminal prosecution … . If your clinical data integrity can’t withstand the increased analysis, this could be your fate.
Thankfully, there’s Clinical Data Integrity: FDA and DOJ Enforcement Priorities.
This management report features insights and advice from three prominent regulatory and legal experts, two of whom are FDA veterans and all well-versed in both data integrity and the FDA’s and Department of Justice’s (DOJ) priorities in enforcing it.
When the FDA resumed on-site domestic inspections after a COVID hiatus, sponsors saw a clear ratcheting up of concern over the integrity, validity and reliability of clinical data.
And the DOJ’s Consumer Protection Branch recently named fraud in the development of clinical data as one of its four key enforcement priorities. Not to mention the multiple news stories about prosecutions of those falsifying clinical trial data.
How will this focus on data integrity impact the development, approval and marketing of your new products? What changes must you make to ensure your clinical data passes muster with both agencies? And what might happen if they don’t?
Clinical Data Integrity will answer all of these questions and then some, guiding you to understand the new expectations and explaining how to prepare for the increased scrutiny and enforcement. All so you can turn your attention to getting your drugs and devices to those who need them.
Management report takeaways:
- How COVID-19 disruption opened the door for unintended and deliberate breaches of the development of clinical data
- Recent trends in FDA warning letters that signal a shift from the agency’s focus during the pandemic to the emerging “new normal” of scrutiny and inspections related to the development of clinical data and its integrity
- Key fact patterns that may trigger a DOJ decision, in collaboration with the FDA, to initiate criminal prosecution of an individual or firm related to fraud or falsification of clinical data used to support an application, as well as debarment by the FDA
- Best practices for spotting and mitigating high-risk issues related to the integrity of the development of clinical data and its uses before and after product approval
FDA and DOJ scrutiny is intensifying. Ensure your clinical data integrity can withstand the most rigorous examination with Clinical Data Integrity: FDA and DOJ Enforcement Priorities.
