Abstract: FDA is proposing to amend its regulations to require sponsors to report information indicating that any person has, or may have, engaged in the falsification of data in the course of reporting study results, or in the course of proposing, designing, performing, recording, supervising, or reviewing studies that involve human subjects (e.g., clinical investigations) or animal subjects (e.g., nonclinical laboratory studies and clinical studies in animals) conducted by or on behalf of a sponsor or relied on by a sponsor. A sponsor would be required to report this information to the appropriate FDA center promptly, but no later than 45 calendar days after the sponsor becomes aware of the information. The proposed requirement for a sponsor to report information regarding falsification of data would be ongoing and cover the periods before and after study completion, including after the review, approval, or authorization of the affected product or labeling
