Advancing the Use of Digital Health Technologies in Clinical Investigations for Drugs and Biological Products; Request for Information and Comments

Resumo

Digital health technologies (DHTs) used for remote data acquisition are playing a growing role in health care and offer important opportunities in clinical research. As outlined in the sixth reauthorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA VII) included as part of the FDA User Fee Reauthorization Act of 2022, the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) have committed to supporting the use of DHTs in drug and biological product development. To inform potential FDA activities in this area, CDER and CBER are requesting information to better understand the opportunities and challenges sponsors and other interested parties face in making innovative use of DHTs in clinical investigations of drugs and biological products.
