(1)The foreign data are applicable to the U.S. population and U.S. medical practice;
(2)The studies have been performed by clinical investigators of recognized competence; and
(3)The data may be considered valid without the need for an on-site inspection by FDA or, if FDA considers such an inspection to be necessary, FDA can validate the data through an on-site inspection or other appropriate means.
(c)Consultation between FDA and applicants. Applicants are encouraged to meet with FDA officials in a “presubmission” meeting when approval based solely on foreign data will be sought.
