Challenge:
Our client planning to develop and commercialize a preclinical compound for metabolic disorders. The product had a wide therapeutic potential for disorders associated with disruption of cellular energy metabolism. In order to progress the lead candidate into clinical development the client needed regulatory support in performing a gap analysis on the IND documentation and in preparation for a pre-IND meeting with the FDA.
Solution:
Alacrita conducted an in-depth gap analysis to determine what additional data had to be generated before IND submission.
This included the following items:
- Confirmation of the lead indications;
- Overall IND strategy, including feasibility of a "gating IND” that may open product / clinical development plans in more than one indication;
- Detailed pre-clinical and clinical development plan for selected indications with clinical endpoints, timing and cost;
- Staffing and hiring plan including scenarios for interim, part- or full-time basis; and support for identifying experts with relevant experience;
- Obtaining additional feedback from outside experts (KOL, payers, potentially patients) from both a clinician and payer perspective;
- Preparation of a pre-IND package for FDA submission.
