This webinar will discuss the US FDA’s Final Guidance on the Q-Submission Program, dated May 29, 2025, which addresses how to request interactions with the FDA related to future medical device submissions. This allows companies and the FDA to arrive at mutual understanding of a project’s approach, FDA concerns, and ultimate buy-in by both parties wherever possible.
These meetings can include written feedback and/or a meeting(s) with FDA on: Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) applications, Premarket Approval (PMA) applications, Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) applications, Evaluation of Automatic Class III Designations (De Novo requests), Premarket Notification (510(k)) submissions, Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) Waiver by Applications (CW), Dual 510(k), Accessory Classification Requests, and certain Investigational New Drug Applications (INDs) and Biologics License Applications (BLAs) submitted to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER)) (specifically, INDs and BLAs for devices that are regulated as biological products. Such Q-Sub meetings may be conducted in-person or virtually (by videoconference or teleconference). Some other submission types are tracked with a “Q” number and should be submitted following the processes for Q-Subs, per other guidance documents. There are also other interactions with FDA that are outside the scope of the Q-Sub program.
