Draft Guidance for Industry on Safety
Testing of Drug Metabolites;
Availability
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
HHS.
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is announcing the
availability of a draft guidance for
industry entitled ‘‘Safety Testing of
Drug Metabolites.’’ This draft guidance
provides recommendations on the safety
assessment of unique or major human
metabolites of small molecule
(nonbiologic) therapeutic products
under development. This draft guidance
is intended to serve as a resource for
general testing considerations as well as
provide recommendations on the timing
of these studies in relation to the
clinical development.
DATES: Submit written or electronic
comments on the draft guidance by
August 5, 2005. General comments on
agency guidance documents are
welcome at any time.
ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for
single copies of the draft guidance to the
Division of Drug Information (HFD–
240), Center for Drug Evaluation and
Research, Food and Drug
Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane,
Rockville, MD 20857. Send one selfaddressed adhesive label to assist that
office in processing your requests.
Submit written comments on the draft
guidance to the Division of Dockets
Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm.
1061, Rockville, MD 20852. Submit
electronic comments to https://
www.fda.gov/dockets/ecomments. See
the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section
for electronic access to the draft
guidance document.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
FDA is announcing the availability of
a draft guidance for industry entitled
‘‘Safety Testing of Drug Metabolites.’’
There are quantitative and qualitative
differences in metabolic profiles across
species. These differences become
VerDate jul<14>2003
14:25 Jun 03, 2005
Jkt 205001
important when exposure parameters of
a drug in a nonclinical species are used
to assess safety in humans during risk
assessment. In the past, contribution of
metabolites to the overall toxicological
potential of the parent drug was
generally unknown or not considered;
analytical technologies to identify and
measure metabolites have only become
available over the past decade.
Although in general there is adequate
correlation in metabolic profiles
between humans and those obtained in
standard nonclinical safety studies,
there are, however, cases when these
studies do not adequately evaluate
clinically relevant and/or biologically
active metabolites. This may be due to
such metabolites being unique to
humans or present at very low levels in
the animal species used in the standard
toxicity studies. As a result, FDA has
developed a draft guidance to provide
recommendations on the safety
assessment of unique or major human
metabolites of small molecule
(nonbiologic) therapeutic products.
These recommendations should help
applicants conduct adequate safety
assessments of metabolites.
This draft guidance provides general
testing considerations for unique or
major drug metabolites including study
design, identification of metabolites,
structure activity relationship, and types
of nonclinical studies needed to assess
metabolite toxicity. It also addresses the
timing of these studies in relation to the
clinical development.
This draft guidance is being issued
consistent with FDA’s good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115).
The draft guidance, when finalized, will
represent the agency’s current thinking
on safety testing of drug metabolites. It
does not create or confer any rights for
or on any person and does not operate
to bind FDA or the public. An
alternative approach may be used if
such approach satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes
and regulations.
II. Comments
Interested persons may submit to the
Division of Dockets Management (see
ADDRESSES) written or electronic
comments regarding the document.

Notice of final changes to
procedures.
ACTION:
SUMMARY: These changes to procedures
modify the Departmental Manual at 516
DM 2.5, Cooperating Agencies (40 CFR
1501.6). These procedures clarify the
responsibility of managers to offer this
status to qualified agencies and
governments, and to respond to requests
for this status. These procedures also
make clear the role of cooperating
agencies in the implementation of the
Department’s National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) compliance process.
With this publication of these
procedures they will be added to the
Electronic Library of Interior Policies
(ELIPS). ELIPS is located at: https://
elips.doi.gov/.
The changes to the procedures are
necessary to emphasize the importance
of working with Federal and State
agencies and Tribal and local
governments through cooperating
agency relationships in preparing
environmental impact statements under
NEPA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
section provides general information,
background, a summary of comments
and responses, and procedural
requirements.
General Information: In an Executive
Order (EO 13352) on Facilitation of
Cooperative Conservation, the President
seeks to ensure that certain Federal
agencies, including the Department of
the Interior, implement laws relating to
the environment and natural resources
in a manner that promotes cooperative
conservation. The EO emphasizes
appropriate local participation in
Federal decision-making, in accordance
with agencies’ respective agency
missions, policies, and regulations.
In an effort to carry out the intent of
EO 13352, the Department of the
Interior is strengthening its National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
implementing procedures which appear
in part 516 of the Departmental Manual
(DM) at 516 DM 2.5 on Cooperating
Agencies. Consistent with both EO
13352 and the Secretary of the Interior’s
‘‘4C’s’’ policy, that is, Conservation
through Communication, Consultation,
and Cooperation, these revised
