The information collection supports
agency regulations governing the use of radioactive drugs for basic
scientific research. Under 21 U.S.C. section 361.1(d)(7), no basic
research study involving any administration of a radioactive drug
to research subjects is permitted without the authorization of an
FDA approved Radioactive Drug Research Committee (RDRC). The
purpose of this collection of information is to determine whether
the research studies are being conducted in accordance with
required regulations and that human subject safety is assured. If
these studies were not reviewed, human subjects could be subjected
to inappropriate radiation or pharmacologic risks.
