Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 25, 2005 / Notices children and the permission of their parents or guardians, as set forth in 45 CFR 46.408 and 21 CFR 50.55. HHS has received a request on behalf of the Washington University Medical Center IRB to review under 45 CFR 46.407 the protocol entitled ‘‘Precursor Preference in Surfactant Synthesis of Newborns.’’ The principal investigator proposes to administer to preterm and full-term newborns simultaneous 24hour infusions of palmitate and acetate labeled with the stable (nonradioactive) isotope carbon-13, then measure the incorporation of each into surfactant, collected by tracheal aspiration. Subjects of the study would include approximately 10 full-term, intubated infants with normal lungs and 15 to 20 preterm (24 to 28 weeks gestational age), intubated infants with respiratory distress syndrome. The overall goal of the proposed study is to better understand the potential differences in precursor preferences in surfactant synthesis between preterm infants with immature lungs (requiring mechanical ventilation) and full-term infants with normal lung function. The three specific aims of the study are to: (1) Determine the rate of surfactant synthesis using de novo synthesized fatty acids (acetate), (2) determine the rate of surfactant synthesis using preformed fatty acids (palmitate), and (3) compare the rates of incorporation in preterm infants versus full-term infants with normal lungs. The Washington University Medical Center IRB determined that the protocol was not approvable under 45 CFR 46.404, 46.405, or 46.406 because the 24-hour isotope infusion and extra blood draws pose more than minimal risks to the subjects, there is no prospect of direct benefit to the individual subjects, the interventions or procedures do not present an experience to the control group that are reasonably commensurate with those inherent in their expected medical situation, and the control group does not have the condition or disorder under study. Accordingly, the Washington University Medical Center IRB forwarded the protocol to OHRP under 45 CFR 46.407 for consideration. Because this clinical investigation is regulated by FDA, FDA’s regulations in part 50, subpart D, specifically § 50.54, apply as well. In accordance with 45 CFR 46.407(b) and 21 CFR 50.54(b), OHRP and FDA are soliciting public review and comment on this proposed clinical investigation. In particular, comments are solicited on the following questions: (1) What are the potential benefits, if any, to the subjects and to children in general; (2) what are the types and VerDate jul<14>2003 17:52 May 24, 2005 Jkt 205001 degrees of risk that this research presents to the subjects; (3) are the risks to the subjects reasonable in relation to the anticipated benefits, and is the research likely to result in knowledge that can be generalized about the subjects’ disorder or condition; and (4) does the research present a reasonable opportunity to further the understanding, prevention, or alleviation of a serious problem affecting the health or welfare of children. To facilitate the public review and comment process, FDA has established a public docket and placed in that docket information relating to the proposed clinical investigation, including the following: Correspondence from Washington University Medical Center referring the proposed research protocol to HHS for consideration under 45 CFR 46.407; correspondence from FDA and OHRP to Washington University Medical Center regarding the proposed protocol; the research protocol; NIH’s grant funding the protocol; IRB’s deliberations on the proposed research; the drug preparation protocol; certificate of analysis of the test compounds; the data safety monitoring plan; and the parental permission documents.

(Click on the year 2005 and scroll down to Pediatric Ethics Subcommittee meetings.) These materials are also available on OHRP’s website at https://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/ children/. All written comments concerning this proposed research should be submitted to FDA’s Division of Dockets Management under 21 CFR 10.20, no later than 4:30 p.m. on June 17, 2005. The background materials and received comments may be viewed on FDA’s Web site at https://www.fda.gov/ohrms/ dockets/dockets/05n0184/05n0184.htm or may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
