The first industry/FDA interaction will be a Pre-IND meeting during the Preclinical Development phase, following the Basic Research and Prototype Design or Discovery stages. Prior to beginning Phase I Clinical Development the sponsor will submit the initial IND for FDA review. Throughout the Clinical Development Phases there will be ongoing submissions and interactions with the FDA in the IND Review Phase. There will be milestone meetings during Phase 2 Clinical Development such as the End of Phase 2a Meeting and the End of Phase 2 Meeting prior to moving into Phase 3. Prior to submitting the Market Application, there may be a Pre-BLA or NDA Meeting. Once the Market Application is submitted the Application Review Stage begins which will include FDA Filing/Approval and review of launch material and safety update.
