When returned directly to participants, aggregate results should be packaged and communicated in user-friendly formats, such as in newsletters or web pages constructed with readability and health literacy principles in mind. Conversely, a CGM not yet FDA-approved assessed in the study for reliability, would yield an investigational result.

Navigating the 505(b)(2) Pathway: No Two Drugs Are Alike

The Premier Consulting Blog

However, the success of a 505(b)(2) application hinges on a tailored development strategy that carefully considers the specific characteristics of the newly proposed drug product, and the nature of the changes made in comparison to a prior US FDA-approved listed drug (LD) or the drug reported in literature.
