5.3 — Clinical Study Reports
Clinical study reports organized by biopharmaceutics, human biomaterials, PK, PD, efficacy/safety, post-marketing
Requirements by Phase
This section organizes all clinical study reports by category: biopharmaceutics (BA/BE studies), human biomaterial studies, PK and PD studies, efficacy and safety studies, and post-marketing data.
For early-stage programs, the most relevant subsections are Healthy Subject PK (your Phase 1 data will go here) and Controlled Clinical Studies (Phase 2/3 efficacy data).
Each study report should follow the ICH E3 structure. Regfo's CTD Library maps the requirements for each subsection so you know what FDA expects in each report type.
