OVERVIEW:
Data Integrity has always been a major issue with FDA. If the data presented to FDA in submissions, and if the data employed by the company to release products and support the safety of those products, are unreliable, it is difficult to protect the product from unreliable or even dangerous material. Many of the data integrity issues that plagued the US drug and biologics industry were eliminated by detailed regulations and stricter enforcement, but many of the problems have resurfaced in recent years among the multitude of foreign manufacturers who are not familiar with US practices. Thus the FDA has increased its review and inspection activities in this area.
