Revisions to FDA-Forms 365h and 1571

Aug 15, 2023 | Drug & Biologic Product Submissions

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently made updates to forms 365h and 1571. Form 365h is “Application to Market a New or Abbreviated New Drug or Biologic for Human Use”. These applications are commonly referred to as NDA, ANDA or BLA. Form 1571 is “Investigational New Drug Application (IND)”. These are among the most important eCTD forms involved in your drug or biologic application process.

The goal of these updates is to improve ease of use and increase data accuracy. Additionally, these revisions provide alignment with PDUFA VII, BsUFA III and GDUFA III by collecting appropriate program data. According to the FDA, These changes include identifying if the product is a Commercial IND or Research IND, the identification of Combination Products, and the inclusion of the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT).

Reed Tech recommends implementing these new forms as soon as possible to align with the latest FDA efforts and, likely, increase the efficiency with which your application is reviewed. To learn more about implementing these new forms, please contact us at [email protected] or +1-215-557-3010.
