Inside the platform

Seven phases. Nine signed gates. One audit chain.

INDBridge replaces the traditional first-IND consulting engagement. 14 specialist Claude agents draft CMC, nonclinical, clinical, and eCTD modules in parallel — built day-one for the 2024–2026 FDA mandate wave (DEPICT, Optimus, iPSP, ICH M11, AI/ML PCCP, RACE Act), with 7-day SUSAR and 15-day serious-unexpected reporting per 21 CFR 312.32.

  1. 01

    Drug candidate intake · Pre-IND meeting prep

    Drug candidate data (small molecule, biologic, gene therapy, cell therapy) classified by intended route and indication. The Pre-IND Meeting agent drafts the FDA Q-list and assembles the briefing package. CBER vs CDER routing is locked at Gate 1.

  2. 02

    CMC Module 3 · ICH Q-series

    CMC agents draft drug substance + drug product modules per ICH Q1–Q13: specification, manufacturing process, batch analysis, stability, container closure. ICH Q5A–Q5E for biologics. CMC SME countersigns.

  3. 03

    Nonclinical Module 4 · 2024–2026 mandate coverage

    Pharmacology, ADME, and toxicology drafts. iPSP per FDASIA §505B. Carcinogenicity, repro-tox, and genotoxicity per ICH M3(R2) / S-series. Nonclinical Lead approves.

  4. 04

    Clinical protocol · ICH M11 CeSHarP

    Machine-readable ICH M11 protocol authoring. DEPICT (FDORA §3601) Diversity Action Plan for Phase 3. Project Optimus dose optimization for oncology. Decentralized-trial elements and RACE Act pediatric oncology assessment.

  5. 05

    Investigator Brochure · Forms · eCTD assembly

    The IB is drafted from CMC + nonclinical + clinical. FDA Forms 1571, 1572, 3674, 3454/3455, 3500A, and 356h are filled via pikepdf AcroForm and packaged into the eCTD.

  6. 06

    RTF Validator · eCTD validation · FDA ESG submission

    A 30-rule Refuse-to-File analyzer runs pre-submission. The eCTD package is validated against FDA technical conformance, then submitted via FDA ESG (AS2 + S/MIME envelope + WebTrader receipt poll).

  7. 07

    30-day clock · Annual reports · IND Safety Reports

    The 30-day review clock is tracked from the ESG MDN receipt, with clinical-hold cliff alerting and CEO escalation. Annual Reports (312.33), Protocol Amendments (312.30), and IND Safety Reports (312.32 — 7-day SUSAR + 15-day serious-unexpected) all live in the same audit chain.

The platform

A regulated-grade system, not a document generator.

Every artifact is drafted by a specialist agent, grounded in live FDA/ICH sources, signed by a named human, and recorded in a tamper-evident audit chain. Nothing reaches the FDA without a signed Gate-9 release.

9-Gate human-in-the-loop

No agent submits to FDA without nine named signatures.

Each gate is a signed PDF manifest binding the signer + timestamp + artifact hash + intent string. WebAuthn 2FA is mandatory on every signature, replay-bound to the artifact reviewed per 21 CFR Part 11 §11.200(a). Sign-offs are immutable in the hash-chained audit ledger.

Source-of-truth doctrine

Agents refuse to emit ungrounded claims.

ICH guidance citations, ClinicalTrials.gov NCT numbers, IND numbers, and consensus-standard references are looked up against live FDA / ICH sources at submission time. The query, the result hash, and the snapshot are logged. An agent that can't ground a claim refuses to emit it.

Mock-FDA fixture

Rehearse the submission before you file.

A mock FDA ESG gateway (AS2 + WebTrader) emulates the FDA's response surface — Acknowledgement Letter, Clinical Hold Letter, MDN receipt. Your sponsor's first real submission is their second; the first is the rehearsal.

Clocks & safety reporting

Zero missed deadlines.

The 30-day FDA review clock is tracked from the ESG MDN receipt, with clinical-hold cliff alerting at T-60/30/14/7/3/1 and CEO escalation. 7-day SUSAR + 15-day serious-unexpected reporting per 21 CFR 312.32 and annual reports per 312.33 — all in the same audit chain.

Security & privacy

Designed for the questions a regulator and a CISO ask.

Personal data, patient data, and regulatory artifacts share a tenant boundary and an audit boundary. Nothing crosses it without a signed record. Current production stack: Vercel + Fly + Supabase (all SOC 2 Type II); AWS healthcare-grade migration is committed for the first 30 days of Customer-1 implementation.

Hosting · current state + AWS roadmap

Vercel + Fly + Supabase today · AWS healthcare-grade by Day 30.

Production today runs on three SOC 2 Type II sub-processors: Vercel (web edge), Fly.io (FastAPI + agents), and Supabase Pro (Postgres with Row-Level Security on every tenant table). At Customer-1 signing the platform migrates to AWS healthcare-grade (Days 1–30): Aurora PostgreSQL Multi-AZ, ECS Fargate, S3 with KMS CMKs + Object Lock Compliance mode, AWS Shield Advanced, AWS Audit Manager. AWS BAA executed at the Day 30 milestone.

Identity

Two-factor on every signature.

Login is bearer-JWT with a mandatory FIDO2/WebAuthn second factor when enrolled. Every Gate signature additionally requires the e-signature PIN and a fresh WebAuthn assertion bound to the artifact hash — replay-resistant per 21 CFR Part 11 §11.200(a). Per-tenant SSO via SAML/OIDC.

Data protection

Encrypted at rest. Encrypted in transit. Tenant-isolated.

AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, per-tenant Row-Level Security at the database tier. Per-sponsor S/MIME certs for FDA ESG live in a managed secrets store. No customer data is used to train models.

Personal data

GDPR / HIPAA / LFPDPPP-aware data handling.

Personal and patient identifiers are scoped to the records that require them, with retention boundaries and deletion paths. Data Subject Access Requests are first-class operations. Sub-processors documented per region. HIPAA BAA scope covers the customer and all clinical-trial data.

Audit & forensics

Tamper-evident, not just append-only.

Every action appends to a SHA-256 hash-chained ledger anchored to a genesis event. AWS S3 Object Lock in Compliance mode strengthens 21 CFR Part 11 §11.10(e). A standalone verifier walks the chain on demand.

Operations

SOC 2 Type II + ISO 27001 in progress. Pen test scheduled.

Sentry error reporting, OpenTelemetry traces, and structured logs retained per policy. RPO 0 / RTO 60s on Aurora Multi-AZ. Quarterly DR tabletop. Access reviews on a fixed cadence.
