| FDA Office of Clinical Pharmacology Announces Availability of the 2020 DARS Annual Report | | | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Office of Clinical Pharmacology's Division of Applied Regulatory Science (DARS) announces the availability of the 2020 DARS Annual Report. DARS achieves its mission of bridging scientific innovation and drug review by performing critical research and expert regulatory review consultations to fill regulatory knowledge gaps, enhance drug development, and facilitate review. In addition, DARS staff conduct research to address unanswered, critical public health questions, such as whether sunscreen ingredients are systemically absorbed, and whether drugs can form carcinogens in patients. The 2020 DARS Annual Report highlights how DARS staff apply translational research to inform drug safety, facilitate the development of complex generics and biosimilars, and assess regulatory use of novel drug development tools and approaches. This report describes the Division's expanded clinical trial operations, cross-cutting programs in cardiac safety, opioids, biosimilars, and generics, as well as consults and reviews related to investigational drugs for COVID-19.
