FDA: Drug Development Tools: The Drug Development Tools (DDTs) Qualification Program was created by CDER as part of the FDA's Critical Path Initiative (CPI) to provide a framework for development and regulatory acceptance of scientific tools for use in drug development programs. DDT qualification programs currently exist for biomarkers1, clinical outcome assessments2 (COAs), and animal models3 for use under the Animal Rule.
