About FDA
Percentage of New Drug Applications (NDAs) containing Quality by Design (QbD) elements (New Molecular Entity (NME) and non-NME). Cumulative total reported each Fiscal Year.
Dictionary: Quality by Design (QbD): A systematic approach to development that begins with predefined objectives and emphasizes product and process understanding and process control, based on sound science and quality risk management (ICH Q8R2). The implementation of QbD will enhance the assurance of pharmaceutical quality in the U.S. market, improve the quality of Chemistry, manufacturing, and controls information submitted in Investigational New Drug (IND), NDA, NDA supplement, and Drug Master File (DMF) submissions, and improve the ONDQA regulatory review processes.
These measures have been retired as CDER has created new measures for FY13 which align to their four functional areas of 1) Regulatory Review and Drug Safety, 2) Drug Quality and Compliance, 3) Transparency and Public Outreach, and 4) Regulatory Science Research.
