On March 25, 2025 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter to the sponsor-investigator of a study due to objectionable conditions observed during a Bioresearch Monitoring (BIMO) Program inspection. The sponsor-investigator’s written response to the FDA Form 483 were deemed inadequate therefore the FDA issued a warning letter stating that the sponsor-investigator was noncompliant with multiple regulations within 21 CFR part 312.

On April 30th, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter and Form FDA 483 to the sponsor of a clinical investigation as the result of a Bioresearch Monitoring Program (BIMO) inspection. 40 participants were enrolled in the study and took the investigational product that the sponsor claims was to help individuals with sleeping disorders without submitting an Investigational New Drug (IND) application.

On January 31st, 2025, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) reached another major milestone for the implementation of the Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR), the European Union’s (EU) current pharmaceutical legislation. The CTR has updated the many of the CTD policies; promoting communication between trials and regulators, increased transparency between trials and the public, and reducing financial and administrative burdens.

On April 4th, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) updated their Institutional Review Board (IRB) Guidance Manual, part of the Bioresearch Monitoring (BIMO) Compliance Program. Staying up to date with these sorts of regulatory updates will help better prepare for inspections and give IRBs a chance to update any relevant protocols or policies that may not be compliant with these new changes.

On June 17th, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) introduced its Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher (CNVP) pilot program to accelerate development of select drugs or biologics from companies that are supporting U.S. national interests and are aligned with U.S. national health priorities.
The US Department of Health and Human Services along with 15 other agencies published an Interim Final Rule (IFR) in the Federal Register on January 22, 2017. The Interim Final Rule was made available for the public to view on January 17, 2018, and can be found here.
In an effort to improve the user experience, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) released updates to ClinicalTrials.gov on December 18, 2017. ClinicalTrials.gov is a searchable database of publicly and privately funded clinical trials being conducted globally. The information is provided by Sponsors and Investigators, and a listing does not indicate the clinical trial has been evaluated by the United States Federal Government.
