"This book covers the myriad of topics related to the development and marketing of all types of drugs and devices regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The book discusses not only the relevant regulations, but also the administrative processes that sponsors must deal with in getting their products approved for marketing. ... This book covers many of the important issues in enough depth to answer basic questions related to the components of an IND (investigational new drug) and an NDA (new drug application), as well as IDE (investigational device exemption) and 510k applications. ...
