A filled-in Form FDA 2252 example: annual report for one NDA sent to CDER

Form FDA 2252 example filled out, example: annual report for one NDA sent to CDER
An applicant fills in Form FDA 2252 for one annual report. The report goes to CDER for one NDA and covers January 2025 through December 2025. The picture shows the filled form, and none of its entries is real. Center is CDER, so CBER stays empty. TYPE OF REPORT is Annual, so OTHER stays empty. The report applies to one application, so OTHER APPLICATION NUMBERS stays empty. Each Identification entry names the volume, tab and pages where the item sits in the report. Authorized Generic info stays empty because the drug is not an authorized generic. SUPAC stays empty because the report has no SUPAC changes. Nothing is open, so each g row says None. LOG OF OUTSTANDING REGULATORY BUSINESS is left blank because it is optional. The application is an NDA, so BLA REPORT INFORMATION REQUIRED stays empty. Nothing goes in Report No. or FDA USE ONLY because those are for FDA.
