What is New Drug?
A new drug is defined as any drug with a composition that is not generally
recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) for a use for which it is labeled.
 There is a new intended use for the drug.
 There is a new drug use of a combination of approved drugs.
 The proportion of active ingredients in combination is changed.
 The dosage, method or duration of administration or application is
changed.

3
What is New Drug Application?
For decades, the regulation and control of new drugs in the United States has
been based on the New Drug Application (NDA). Since 1938, every new drug
has been the subject of an approved NDA before U.S. commercialization.  The
NDA application is the vehicle through which drug sponsors formally propose
that the FDA approve a new pharmaceutical for sale and marketing in the U.S. 
The data gathered during the animal studies and human clinical trials of an
Investigational New Drug (IND) become part of the NDA.

CMC SECTION
A section describing the composition, manufacture,
and specification of the drug substance and the drug
product, including the following:
i. The Drug Substance
ii. The Drug Product
iii. Environmental Impact
iv. …
v. …

51
(III) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
 The application is required to contain either a claim
for categorical exclusion under 25.30 or 25.31 of this
chapter or an environmental assessment under 25.40
of this chapter.

50
(IV)
 The applicant may, at its option, submit a complete
chemistry, manufacturing, and controls section 90 to
120 days before the anticipated submission of the
remainder of the application. FDA will review such
early submissions as resources permit.

50
(V)
 The applicant shall include a statement certifying that
the field copy of the application has been provided to
the applicant's home FDA district office.

50
CONCLUSION
 The CMC section of an NDA require special attention.
 If industry/innovator become more familiar with these
guidelines, the quality of manufacturing and controls
documentation will be improved and it is hoped, the
frequency and extent of deficiencies will diminish.
 One of the most positive contributions is also
expected to be the economical, reproducible
manufacture of new drugs in well-designed dosage
forms that can be prescribed by physicians with
confidence.
54
CONCLUSION CONTD…
 The careful preparation of the manufacturing and
controls section in an NDA can facilitate FDA
processing, review and approval procedures.
 The result is expected to be potentially faster
commercialization of new products benefiting both
pharmaceutical manufacturers and the patients they
ultimately serve.
