What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

Complex generic drug products represent an increasing share of the generic marketplace and may have distinct user interface differences compared to reference listed drug (RLD) products. A modernized post-market surveillance approach is needed to compare clinical outcomes between complex generic products and their corresponding RLD products to monitor for potential issues with therapeutic equivalence and to inform regulatory decision making. Real-world data (RWD) combined with machine learning (ML) and/or artificial intelligence (AI) could help to identify post-market signals efficiently in an automated and repeatable fashion, facilitating timely regulatory action. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to develop and test an AI- or ML-based algorithmic RWD model for post-market surveillance of complex generic drug products.
