Section 505 of the FD&C Act
requires that a new drug may not be marketed unless the
manufacturer provides FDA with scientific evidence that the drug is
both safe and effective. The regulations at 21 CFR part 314 provide
the means through which pharmaceutical manufacturers can obtain FDA
approval of a drug product marketing application, and the means
through which FDA can assure the safety and effectiveness of
marketed drug products. Without the information provided by
industry on the drug products they seek to market, FDA would not be
able to assure the safety and effectiveness of marketed drug
products.
