For other uses, see CRADA (disambiguation). A Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) is an agreement between a government agency and a private company to work together. (CRADA CRADA Cooperative Research And Development Agreement ) with the Center for Devices and Radiological Health The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is the branch of the United States Food and Drug Administration responsible for the premarket approval of all medical devices, as well as overseeing the manufacturing, performance and safety of these devices. (CDRH CDRH Center for Devices and Radiological Health (US FDA) ), a division of the United States Food and Drug Administration United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), n.pr a unit of the Public Health Service created to protect the health of the nation against impure and unsafe foods, drugs, and cosmetics. (FDA FDA abbr. Food and Drug Administration FDA, n.pr See Food and Drug Administration. FDA, n.pr the abbreviation for the Food and Drug Administration. ). The agreement acknowledges that despite the CDRH's encouragement of clinical study sponsors to employ Bayesian-based device trials, no validated, easy-to-use design or analysis software has emerged. The goal of the CDRH collaboration with Cytel is to eliminate the productivity-sapping cycles of developing and validating ad-hoc methodologies with a reliable and easily-learned standard software package for both trial sponsors and regulators. Gerry W. Gray, Ph.D., is the Principal Investigator for the FDA. Nitin Patel, Ph.D., Cytel Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Technology Officer, will lead the development effort as Cytel Principal Investigator. Dr. Patel commented, "We are honored that CDRH chose Cytel as their partner for developing validated, documented, and commercially available Bayesian software. The CRADA is completely aligned with our vision of implementing innovative device and drug development approaches by combining high-quality software and knowledge-intensive services. Creation of these best-in-class Bayesian tools is a crucial initiative in our efforts to help the clinical development community to reduce time-to-market, cut costs, and improve portfolio returns."
