SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance, which is 
intended to be used as a companion to the guidance issued in March 2005 
entitled ``Pharmacogenomic Data Submissions.'' This draft guidance 
entitled ``Pharmacogenomic Data Submissions--Companion Guidance'' is 
based on FDA's experience with voluntary genomic data submissions as 
well as with its review of numerous protocols and data submitted under 
IND applications, NDAs, and BLAs during the last 2 years. FDA believes 
that the recommendations in the draft guidance will benefit sponsors 
considering the submission of either voluntary genomic data or 
marketing submissions containing genomics data. As technology changes 
and more experience is gained, these recommendations may be updated.
    Specifically, this draft guidance contains recommendations on gene 
expression data from microarrays, genotyping, genomic data in clinical 
study reports, genomic data from nonclinical toxicology studies, and 
data submission formats. Each of the sections in the guidance make 
recommendations on technical steps or describes report contents or 
formats that will facilitate the submission of genomic data to FDA. A 
concept paper containing the contents of this draft guidance was made 
available on the Genomics Web site of FDA (https://www.fda.gov/cder/
genomics/conceptpaper_20061107.pdf) on November 2006. The concept 
paper was discussed at the FDA/Drug Information Association/
Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America Foundation/
Biotechnology Industry Organization workshop on Best Practices and 
Development of Standards for the Submission of Genomic Data to FDA held 
in Washington, DC on November 27 and 28, 2006. This draft companion 
guidance reflects feedback received at and since the workshop.
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good 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 The draft guidance, when 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 
recommendations for the submission and review of genomic data. 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.
