(1) To a drug dispensed on a written or an electronically transmitted prescription signed by or with an electronic signature of a physician, dentist, or veterinarian (except a drug dispensed in the course of the conduct of a business of dispensing drugs pursuant to diagnosis by mail) if the physician, dentist, or veterinarian is licensed by law to administer the drug, and the drug bears a label containing the name and place of business of the dispenser, the serial number and date of the prescription, and the name of the physician, dentist, or veterinarian.

(3) To a drug sold in Indiana or introduced into intrastate commerce at any time before the enactment of the Federal Act, if the drug’s labeling contained the same representations concerning the conditions of the drug’s use.

     (b) Rules exempting drugs intended for investigational use under subsection (a)(2) may, within the discretion of the state department among other conditions relating to the protection of the public health, provide for conditioning the exemption upon the following:

(1) The submission to the state department, before any clinical testing of a new drug is undertaken, of reports by the manufacturer or the sponsor of the investigation of the drug or preclinical tests, including tests on animals, of the drug adequate to justify the proposed clinical testing.

(2) The manufacturer or the sponsor of the investigation of a new drug proposed to be distributed to investigators for clinical testing obtaining a signed agreement from each of the investigators that patients to whom the drug is administered will be under the manufacturer’s or sponsor’s personal supervision or under the supervision of investigators responsible to the manufacturer or sponsor and that the manufacturer or sponsor will not supply the drug to any other investigator or to clinics for administration to human beings.

(3) The establishment and maintenance of the records and the making of the reports to the state department by the manufacturer or the sponsor of the investigation of the drug of data (including analytical reports by investigators) obtained as the result of the investigational use of the drug that the state department finds will enable the state department to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the drug if an application is filed under section 8 of this chapter.

     (c) Rules exempting drugs intended for investigational use under subsection (a)(2) must provide that the exemption is conditioned upon the manufacturer or the sponsor of the investigation requiring that experts using the drugs for investigational purposes certify to the manufacturer or sponsor that the experts will inform any human beings to whom the drugs or any controls used in connection with the drugs are being administered that the drugs are being used for investigational purposes and will obtain the consent of the human beings or their representatives, except where they consider it not feasible or, in their professional judgment, contrary to the best interests of the human beings.

     (d) This section does not require a clinical investigator to submit directly to the state department reports on the investigational use of drugs. The regulations adopted under Section 505(i) of the Federal Act are the rules in Indiana. The state may adopt rules, whether or not in accordance with regulations promulgated under the Federal Act.
