US FDA Submission Support

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), through its centers for drugs (CDER) and biologics (CBER), runs one of the most demanding review processes in the world. EvySaif prepares the eCTD dossiers and regulatory strategy behind your application, so your submission holds together as one coherent scientific argument rather than a set of disconnected documents.

The Pathway

Understanding the FDA pathways

The right pathway depends on your product and evidence, and the well-run programs align with the agency before they file. Every application below is submitted in eCTD format through the Electronic Submissions Gateway, and review runs to PDUFA and GDUFA timelines after an initial check that the application is complete enough to assess.

Choose the pathway

An Investigational New Drug (IND) application, filed on Form FDA 1571, secures permission to begin clinical studies. To market a drug, a New Drug Application (NDA) under 505(b)(1) carries the full safety and efficacy package, a 505(b)(2) NDA may rely in part on FDA's prior findings or published literature, and an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) supports a generic through demonstrated bioequivalence. Biologics are submitted through a Biologics License Application (BLA).

Build the eCTD

Applications are filed on Form FDA 356h in eCTD format across Modules 1 to 5, through the Electronic Submissions Gateway. FDA accepts eCTD v3.2.2 and the newer v4.0 for new applications.

Align with the agency before filing

Well-run programs use pre-IND and pre-NDA meetings to align with FDA on the data package and pathway before the application is submitted, so review does not begin with an argument about scope.

Clear filing review and the review clock

An initial filing review checks the application is complete enough to assess. Review then runs to PDUFA timelines for NDAs and BLAs and GDUFA timelines for ANDAs.

Why EvySaif

As one of the best research and medical writing consultancies in India, EvySaif brings international-standard, clinician-led writing to FDA submissions at consultancy pricing. We build the dossier so its story holds together, since FDA problems are rarely formatting alone, they are usually a case that does not cohere. That coherence is exactly what we author for.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

A 505(b)(1) NDA contains the sponsor's full safety and efficacy data. A 505(b)(2) NDA may rely partly on FDA's prior findings or published literature, which can shorten development for suitable products.

Yes. NDAs, ANDAs, BLAs, and commercial INDs must be submitted in eCTD format. FDA currently accepts both v3.2.2 and the newer v4.0 for new applications.
