FDA is announcing the establishment of a docket to receive suggestions, recommendations, and comments from interested parties, including academic institutions, regulated industry, and other interested organizations on best practices for communication between FDA and investigational new drug application (IND) sponsors during drug development. These comments will help FDA identify and ultimately establish best practices to be included in a draft guidance for industry and review staff.

The Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) added a provision to the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) concerning inspections that makes a drug adulterated. This guidance defines the types of actions, inaction, and circumstances that FDA considers to constitute delaying, denying, or limiting inspection, or refusing to permit entry or inspection for the purposes of making a drug adulterated.
