2023
Robert M. Rioux & Zhifeng Chen, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA The most common laboratory emergencies include chemical spills, fire or explosion, electric shock, and personnel injuries. Most laboratory accidents occur due to poor planning or lack of attention. Therefore, it's always better to prevent accidents (being proactive) than having to take any actions during an emergency (being reactive). For example, always wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE) in the...

Rescue of recombinant arenaviruses from cloned cDNAs, an approach referred to as reverse genetics, allows researchers to investigate the role of specific viral gene products, as well as the contribution of their different specific domains and residues, to many different aspects of the biology of arenavirus. Likewise, reverse genetics techniques in FDA-approved cell lines (Vero) for vaccine development provides novel possibilities for the generation of effective and safe vaccines to combat human...

We describe a technique for labeling and tracking stem cells with FDA-approved, superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO), ferumoxytol (Feraheme). This cellular imaging technique that utilizes magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for visualization, is readily accessible for long-term monitoring and diagnosis of successful or unsuccessful stem cell engraftments in patients.

Post-approval, manufacturers may modify an approved new or generic drug product. Such modifications can encompass alterations in the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), manufacturing process, formulation, batch size, manufacturing site, and container closure system (FDA Guidance for Industry, April 2004). Often, a drug product may undergo multiple changes.These modifications require careful evaluation to determine their potential impact on the drug product's identity, strength, quality,...
FAQs
The justification centers on whether meeting the existing requirement is impracticable or unnecessary. A persuasive request must also explain how the proposed approach continues to protect clinical research participants, preserve data integrity, and support public health. These factors connect the requested relief to the underlying purpose of the requirement rather than treating the waiver as an administrative convenience.
The relevant FDA center reviews the stated justification together with the supporting documentation. Its review considers the specific requirement involved and whether the proposed exemption or modification remains consistent with participant safety, reliable clinical data, and public health protections. This center-level review provides regulatory oversight while allowing the request to be assessed in its particular clinical or administrative context.
An exemption seeks relief from complying with an applicable FDA requirement, whereas a modification proposes changing how that requirement is addressed. The request should make clear which type of relief is being sought and why. Explaining the distinction helps reviewers evaluate whether the proposed approach responds appropriately to the stated practical or regulatory problem.
In clinical research, requests may relate to requirements involving investigational products, clinical trials, informed consent, reporting, or administrative submissions. The relevant category determines which requirement must be identified and what supporting rationale is needed. Regardless of the category, the proposed approach must remain aligned with participant safety, data integrity, and public health oversight.
A request should identify the applicable requirement, describe why compliance is impracticable or unnecessary, and present evidence supporting the proposed alternative. The explanation should address participant safety, data integrity, and public health, while the documentation should give the relevant FDA center enough information to review the justification and proposed regulatory approach.
Researchers might consider a request when a requirement cannot practicably be met or is unnecessary for the specific situation, provided an alternative can preserve appropriate protections. Potential contexts include investigational products, trial conduct, informed consent, reporting, and administrative submissions. The process is intended to address such circumstances without removing the FDA’s regulatory oversight.
A waiver can accommodate a justified exemption or modification while retaining safeguards for participants, trustworthy data, and public health. The request must explain the need for the alternative and provide supporting evidence, after which the relevant FDA center reviews the submission. This approach connects flexibility with documented justification and continued regulatory evaluation rather than automatic acceptance.
