Warning Letters

A Warning Letter is an informal advisory,
to a firm or clinical investigator, communicating the Agency's
position on a matter but does not commit FDA to taking enforcement
action. A Warning Letter is issued for significant regulatory
violations that require prompt and adequate corrective actions.

Notice of Initiation of Disqualification Proceedings and Opportunity to Explain (NIDPOE) Letters
The NIDPOE letter informs the recipient clinical investigator that FDA is initiating an administrative proceeding to determine whether the clinical investigator should be disqualified from receiving investigational products pursuant to FDA's regulations. Generally, FDA issues a NIDPOE letter when FDA believes it has evidence that the clinical investigator repeatedly or deliberately violated FDA's regulations governing the proper conduct of clinical studies involving investigational products, or submitted false information to the FDA or the sponsor.
Notice of Opportunity for Hearing (NOOH)
The NOOH provides a clinical investigator with the opportunity for a hearing on a regulatory action, including a proposed action (such as disqualification). The regulatory hearing is held before a presiding officer designated by the Commissioner.
