Abstract
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has metamorphosed from a small branch of the US Department of Agriculture's Office with no regulatory powers to one of the largest and most strict consumer protection agencies in the world. This creates a dichotomy between efficient regulation of medical products and keeping the public safe. To complete translational research it is essential to dissertate the regulatory considerations for new drugs and devices. This chapter will discuss what data the FDA will require, what data may be collected on nonapproved drugs and medical devices, and some issues with the FDA.
