The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an educational webinar on a proposal to establish the Expedited Investigational New Drug (IND) pilot program, designed to expedite the time from drug identification to first-in-human (FIH) clinical trials.

This initiative is part of a broader effort by the FDA to accelerate and modernize clinical research across the full continuum of drug development, from early identification to late-stage trials.

The FDA aims to ensure the United States remains the global standard for pharmaceutical innovation and regulatory rigor, benefiting both American patients and innovators.

The proposed Expedited IND pilot program seeks to leverage America’s world-class research institutions as collaborative partners to shorten the time from drug identification to first-in-human study, all while maintaining the safety and rights of clinical trial participants.
