InnoVation Exploration Team (IVET) Generic Animal Drug Alliance April 21, 2011
New Model for Success • Our old business model for animal drug evaluation is not sufficient. • ONADE is tasked with new challenges and opportunities beyond drug evaluation • ONADE needs to be agile and able to succeed in a dynamic environment
Innovation Exploration Team • Be a think tank group to: • Embrace innovation, new concepts and ideas from sponsors • Interact with Office Leadership Team and ONADE reviewers to develop new ways of approaching our evaluation of new products
Goals and Objectives • Overall Goal: facilitate introduction of innovative products and processes to ONADE • Objective 1: increase certainty of regulatory path • Objective 2: increase awareness of potential safety, effectiveness, and quality issues • Objective 3: increase scientific and technical knowledge among reviewers
Innovation Exploration Team • What’s happening now? • Setting up a charter, infrastructure and system of operation and recruitment • Identifying areas and issues that need to be addressed • Setting up a system of communication with the Office Leadership Team and ONADE • Engaging ONADE members to work on critical issues • Meeting with drug sponsors to collect feedback
Our role is NOTto Review submissions Make decisions Change things that work well Change our safety, effectiveness, or quality standards Focus on specific products Our role ISto Propose ideas to the Office Leadership Team (OLT) for novel ways of approaching the review process Work with OLT and ONADE reviewers to develop ways to increase our efficiency Facilitate efficient learning and communication Focus on process and culture
Methods to Achieve Goals • Meet with sponsors • Adapt internal processes • Identify and utilize expertise within CVM • Develop Focus Groups and Tech Teams
Focus Group Roles • Currently proposed Focus Groups: • Communications/Education • Surrogate Endpoints • Statistics • Discover tangible plans for their area
Tech Team Roles • Develop potential review methods to handle novel products that may not fit under our current guidance • Informally meet with sponsors in advance to establishing a INAD • Three “tech teams” established
Where Do Generics Fit In? • IVET Goal: Facilitate introduction of innovative products and processes to ONADE. • Generic sponsors are already thinking outside of the box.
Definition of Innovation • No single definition works… • Potential Guidelines: • Something for which our current guidance documents are insufficient • Product fulfills an unmet need • Novel API or first in class • Novel claim • Novel manufacturing process • Novel delivery system
