Question 1 of 12

According to U.S. FDA regulations, what is the maximum number of days a sponsor has to report a serious adverse event (SAE) to the FDA and to the investigator after becoming aware of the event? *

3 days 15 days 5 days 7 days 10 days

A pharmaceutical company is planning to conduct a first-in-human study for a novel gene therapy. Which regulatory pathway is most likely to be pursued if the therapy meets specific criteria for innovation and potential to address unmet medical needs? *

Fast Track Designation Accelerated Approval Pathway Orphan Drug Designation Priority Review Breakthrough Therapy Designation

Which of the following is NOT a primary objective of a Phase IV clinical trial? *

To monitor for rare or long-term adverse events. To explore new indications for the drug. To gather data on the drug\\\\\\\'s performance in real-world, routine clinical practice. To compare the drug\\\\\\\'s effectiveness with other marketed drugs. To collect data for the initial marketing authorization application.

What is the primary purpose of a Pre-IND (Investigational New Drug) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)? *

To submit the final marketing application for a new drug. To appeal a Complete Response Letter (CRL) received for a New Drug Application (NDA). To request expedited review of a breakthrough therapy designation. To obtain approval for a post-market surveillance study. To discuss the proposed clinical trial design, manufacturing processes, and regulatory pathway before filing the IND application.

Which of the following best describes the purpose of a \\\\\\\"bridging study\\\\\\\" in drug development? *

To compare the efficacy of a new drug to an existing standard of care. To demonstrate that a drug product manufactured in a new facility or using a modified process is bioequivalent to the original product. To assess the safety of a drug in a specific pediatric population. To investigate the long-term safety profile of a drug after market approval. To evaluate the efficacy of a drug in a new indication.

A sponsor receives a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the FDA for their NDA. What is the most appropriate next step for the sponsor? *

Immediately initiate Phase IV studies. Request a meeting with the FDA to discuss the possibility of an expedited review. Conduct additional clinical trials and/or analyses to address the concerns raised in the CRL. Submit a revised NDA without addressing the deficiencies. Withdraw the NDA and abandon the drug.

Which phase of clinical trials is primarily focused on assessing the safety and efficacy of a new drug in a larger, more diverse patient population for the first time? *

Phase II Phase 0 Phase I Phase IV Phase III

A company has identified a novel compound with promising in vitro activity against a rare disease. What is the immediate next step in the drug development process before human testing can begin? *

Initiate Phase III clinical trials. Begin large-scale commercial manufacturing. Submit a New Drug Application (NDA). Conduct comprehensive non-clinical (animal) studies to assess safety and pharmacokinetics. Obtain marketing authorization from regulatory agencies.

According to ICH E6(R2) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines, who is ultimately responsible for the quality and integrity of the data collected during a clinical trial? *

The Sponsor The Regulatory Authority The Contract Research Organization (CRO) The Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board (IRB) The Principal Investigator (PI)

Which of the following is a key component of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in the pharmaceutical industry? *

A summary of all adverse events reported during clinical trials. A detailed description of the drug\\\\\\\'s mechanism of action. A step-by-step guide for performing a specific task or process. A list of all personnel involved in the drug development project. A marketing plan for the approved drug.

Which of the following documents is a comprehensive report detailing the results of all non-clinical pharmacology and toxicology studies, as well as the manufacturing information, submitted to regulatory authorities to support an IND application? *

Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) Common Technical Document (CTD) Module 3 Clinical Study Protocol Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) section of the IND Investigator\\\\\\\'s Brochure (IB)

According to EMA (European Medicines Agency) guidelines, what is the typical timeframe for a Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) to be validated by the agency? *

Within 30 days of submission. Within 20 days of submission. Within 60 days of submission. Within 10 days of submission. Within 90 days of submission.
