What is The Center for Drug Evaluation and Research?
The Center for Drug Evaluation and Research is a branch of the FDA or Food and Drug Administration. CDER oversees all of the medications and drugs that come through the market to ensure that they are safe and appropriately labeled for consumption. Understanding a bit more about the pharma compliance in the US can provide you with more insight on what goes through the system to ensure that everyone that takes these medications is as safe as possible.
Some biological products can be classified as drugs legally, but are generally covered under the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research and their center will go through the guidelines for those products.
What the Center Does
This center thoroughly goes through, reviews and tests new and generic pharmaceuticals that come through the center. They are the makers and overseers of the Good Manufacturing Practice that is used to regulate pharmaceutical manufacturing. They also decide which medications will need a prescription in order for them to be administered by a doctor. Any advertising that is done on the new, approved medications has to go through their center to be approved. They also go through different data, in different markets for the pharmaceuticals that are circulating throughout the market to ensure that they continue to be safe and effective for those using them.
They use a method known as the New Drug Application in order to ensure that all drugs that are on the market are effective and safe for the patient to use. When used as directed, their objective is to ensure that each medication both over the counter and prescribed is safe for the patient to use and is effective at the same time. They have to go through strict pharmaceutical compliance for this approval process.
Their Processes
The public continues to put the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research under scrutiny due to the decisions that the center has to make on a day to day basis, while some people do not agree with their decisions. Usually however, it is not any one person that makes a decision on a product or medication. It is reviewed and gone over by a team of professionals in order to come up with the outcome. They brainstorm together in order to come up with a consensus on decisions that are made within the center. This is why many markets closely watch the decisions that the center makes on a day to day basis.
There are currently over 1,000 employees that make up the review teams within the center. They are who evaluate and approve or deny the new drugs on the market. The center also has a safety team with over 70 employees that determine whether or not these drugs are safe to use or present risks or problems that are not disclosed on the labeling of the product so the consumer would know what could possibly happen if they were to take the medication.
On top of the accepting and denying of new medications, the center also monitors labeling and advertising that is done for the drugs. They have to monitor the current drugs on the market under strict pharmaceutical compliance set forth by the government. The FDA requires the center to do a set of clinical trials, each with four phases with over thousands of people being tested on the new products. This can cause a lot of money to go into the system in order to be used for the testing that is being put forth. Older drugs and medications that are out circulating and come up with problems may have to be re-evaluated by the center to ensure that they continue to be effective and safe to use depending on the results that some patients have experienced.
The center of Biologics and Drug Evaluation used to work together on certain projects, such as HIV testing and medications, but could not come to an agreement on how to do it or split it up. This is when the centers split apart and went their separate ways in the 80's. They then decided to narrow down the centers to more specific items that they were to regulate and control.
