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.
