What Is a Treatment IND?

The FDA can classify medications as treatment investigational new drugs (treatment INDs). These are medications that are not approved by the FDA but have been shown to provide benefit for diseases or conditions that are life threatening or for which there are no other comparable medications. Typically, these are drugs that are currently being studied in clinical trials for conditions such as cancer, HIV, or AIDS. A treatment IND makes it possible for individuals who do not qualify to participate in the clinical trials to still receive the potentially life-saving medications.
