Various specific FDA Guidelines:
Interpretation of these laws and regulations can be complex, particularly in cutting-edge areas like gene expression and miRNA profiling.

Critical Path Initiative
As part of its Critical Path Initiative, the FDA has identified the development of new biomarkers as one of the key opportunities to increase efficiency, predictability, and productivity in drug development. These new initiatives will accelerate the approvals of novel drugs by integrating biomarkers and pharmacogenomic tests into the clinical trial process. Subsequent utilization of companion diagnostics with therapies will better match therapy to individuals. The Agency and its counterparts in the major markets of the world are ready and willing to work with the increasing number of drug companies that are generating pharmacogenomics data. They have issued and refined guidance concerning pharmacogenomics data-submission, and encourage closer interactions between academia, industry, and regulatory agencies.
