The investigation of [18]annulene is the oldest of the X-ray annulene studies reported, and it was stated that the hydrogens have not been reliably located. The molecular structure closely resembles that of coronene89. This rules out the possibility of a structure with alternate long and short C—C bonds. The observed spread of CC distances in [14]annulene and in [18]annulene is ca 0.06 A, while that in [16]annulene is twice as large, ca 0.12 A. The annulene molecules therefore have structures that are similar to what is expected on the basis of Htickel s rule. 

The CTDs were implemented in July 2003. They are format-based documents for submission to the regulatory authorities the country-specific process of review, for example, via the IND and NDA of the United States or the Centralized Procedure of the EMEA, is not affected. The harmonized CTDs help to reduce cost and accelerate approval time. Figure 7.1 shows the CTD structure five modules with Module 1 for regional administrative information specihc to each country. Module 2 on summary of quality, nonclinical and clinical. Module 3 on quality. Module 4 on nonclinical study reports, and Module 5 on clinical study reports. 

CTD consists of four modules, preceded by a Module 1 that is region-specific and includes administrative and prescribing information. Module 2 comprises of CTD summaries and overviews of the quality, non-clinical and clinical data. Module 3 contains data on quality. Module 4 consists of the non-clinical study reports and Module 5 comprises the clinical study reports. There are guidelines on the details to be included in each module and these are summarised in Box 17.2. The non-clinical and clinical overviews and summaries are equivalent to the previous Expert Reports submitted under sections IC2 and IC3 respectively of part I, data.

Module 5 Clinical study reports. This covers human study reports and related information presented in the order described in guideline M4F. 

The NDA is a layered document. There are summary documents, individual study reports and actual data tabulations. It differs in two main ways from the dossier submitted in the European Union (1) in the amount of raw data contained in the NDA submission, and (2) in the presence of expert reports in the European dossier, compared with well defined integrated summaries in the NDA. This resulted from historical, cultural...

The studies reported and discussed in the following sections of Chapter 3 considered most or all of these methodological issues. 

We recommend that you submit your annual report and post-approval study report separately, even if they are due at the same time. This will facilitate the FDA s review because different Offices in Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) review the post-approval study report and the annual report.5 If you choose to provide a separate report as recommended, please include the date that you submitted your post-approval study report in your annual report. 

Presenting the results of a clinical study to a regulatory agency in a clinical study report and presenting the results to the clinical community in journal publications. 

The Study Population Results section often comes at the beginning of the Results section in the clinical study report and tells the reviewer about the disposition of the subjects in the study. The ITT population is typically used for these descriptions. Much of the information may be presented in tabular form in in-text tables to make the regulatory reviewers task as easy as possible. All data that are reported in a clinical study report need to be verifiable against original source tables provided in the overall submission, and so each in-text table indicates where the source data relevant to the entries in the table are located. 

While one may insert such terms in a study report, and CROs may accept such descriptions, it should be noted that the FDA and other regulatory agencies expect that the definitive safety studies be conducted with test article that is comparable to the product proposed for the initial clinical studies. Any differences, compliance (GMP/nonGMP) or other (manufacturing methods, product attributes), must be justified within the relevant regulatory submissions (e.g., IND or BLA/CTD). 

A Table of Contents should be provided that fists all of the nonclinical study reports and gives the location of each study report in the Common Technical Document. 

If the integrated summary is based upon unaudited draft reports, sponsors should submit an update to their integrated summary by 120 days after the start of the human studies identifying any differences found in the preparation of the final, fully quality-assured study reports and the information submitted in the initial integrated summary. If no differences were found, that should be stated in the integrated summary update. In addition, any new finding discovered during the preparation of the final, fully quality-assured individual study reports that could affect subject safety must be reported to the FDA as an IND safety report.

Evansville, Indiana, for example, noted, Chronic diarrhea has been extremely common in this hospital, and in many instances so rebellious as to defy aU modes of treatment that we could devise. i9 Similarly, assistant surgeon Samuel A. Storrow of Eckington Hospital in Washington, DC, called it the most common disease with which the medical staff of this hospital has to deal. 20 The extent of the problem is manifested in the coverage devoted to it in The Medical and Surgical History the entire 842 pages of Part 2, Volume 1 contain more than 900 case studies reported and summarized. 

The physician s involvement in clinical research does not end with the completion of the clinical study. Medical reports, clinical study reports, and sections of NDAs must be written. Interactions with regulatory agencies that require the physician s input may occur frequently. Physicians in clinical research may also be called upon to promote new drugs in a scientific environment by organizing symposia and workshops and by reviewing journal advertisements and promotional material for medical validity and accuracy. 

Declaration to assure that the clinical study reports and the results of clinical trials were compiled according to GCP. 

The EPA also employs a weight-of-evidence scheme to factor in the levels of confidence for the data from various animal and human studies/reports and to emphasize human data over animal data. 

The cumulation of all the data from the clinical trials of a new drug product, assuming a fairly orthodox regulatory strategy for a typical dossier or NDA, will form the largest fraction of the application. However, these data are also needed for derivative documents within the application, one of which is a benefit-risk analysis, which forms the last part of an Integrated Safety Summary (Section 9 of the NDA), and is a central objective of the expert report in European applications. These benefit-risk assessments must be derived from the clinical study reports and summaries elsewhere in the applications. 

To ensure that the integrity of clinical research data is maintained and that there is total agreement between the data recorded on CRFs, the data entered in the computer, the data recorded in data listings and cross-tabulations, the data entered into statistical and clinical study reports and finally the... 

QC activities in clinical research are manifold and comprise all activities undertaken by operational departments (such as clinical monitoring, project management, data management, etc.) to ensure that activities are performed in compliance with the trial protocol, SOPs and other procedure guides. These in-process quality controls are vital to the quality of the documents prepared (e.g. trial protocols, study reports) and the integrity of the trial conduct. 

Module IV contains the nonclinical study reports. Like Module III, it has its own table of contents, and then all the study reports and relevant literature references. 

Fully aware of this role, the society promotes and develops a range of studies, reports, and projects over a range of contemporary and future health issues via the foundation of the same name.
