Abstract
The experience with the submission of a nonclinical (pharmacology and toxicology) computer-assisted New Drug Application (CANDA) is reviewed. This system consisted of a stand-alone personal computer running several commercial programs in Microsoft Windows to access both text and data. WordPerfect was used as the word processor that contained all the documents and data tables (in read-only format) that were submitted in hard copy, and Andyne GQL was used as a tool to query the data in an Oracle relational database. Microsoft Excel was provided as a spreadsheet for graphics and analysis of data. Documents appeared virtually identical to those in the hard copy NDA submission. Searching the text was facilitated by the use of buttons on the screen, which allowed the NDA to be searched for a particular term. Data could be located either in WordPerfect documents, or in an Oracle database (using Andyne GQL) by querying the data. The data queries could be performed ad hoc, in which the reviewer selected all the parameters for a search, or with predefined query buttons, which retrieved data for principal treatment-related changes. This type of system also could serve as a useful model for both inhouse nonclinical review and the submission of INDs and IND amendments.
