Decentralized Clinical Trials

Decentralized Clinical Trials

As of May 2023, the FDA released an updated draft to the decentralization of trials for drugs, biologic products, and medical devices. This is an attempt to make it easier on and support the capabilities of running a clinical trial; allowing participants to take place in the clinical trial from their homes and local healthcare facilities rather than a single centralized location.
IEC 62304: Medical Device Software Life-Cycle Processes

IEC 62304: Medical Device Software Life-Cycle Processes

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) utilizes regulatory standards developed by non-governmental organizations as regulatory criteria for medical devices, these are referred to as recognized consensus standards [1]. Examples of some of the organizations that develop these standards are: International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards, American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards, etc. The IEC is an organization that develops standards to standardize the electrical and electronic fields [2].
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Drug Development

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Drug Development

With the growth of computational capabilities, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have become a beacon of interest from both the product development side and the regulatory side. Implementation of AI and ML methodologies into the day-to-day life of our society is a real and ever-growing adaptive process. The FDA has just released a document that facilitates discussion and brings about important ideas for its place in society and how it will be regulated [1]. In 2021, over one hundred submissions to the FDA included some usage of AI/ML [2].
