SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Food and Drug Administration I. Background [Docket No. 2005D–0155] FDA is announcing the availability of a document entitled ‘‘Guidance for Industry: Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials,’’ dated September 2007. The guidance provides sponsors of vaccine trials with toxicity grading scale tables as a guideline when selecting the criteria to assess the severity of clinical and laboratory abnormalities in healthy adult and adolescent volunteers enrolled in clinical trials of a preventive vaccine. FDA recommends the incorporation of such appropriate, uniform criteria into the investigational plan, case report forms, and study reports and correspondence with FDA, sponsors, monitors, investigators, and institutional review boards. The parameters in the tables are not necessarily applicable to every clinical trial of healthy volunteers. The parameters monitored should be appropriate for the specific study vaccine. In addition, the use of toxicity grading scales to categorize adverse events observed during clinical trials does not replace regulatory requirements to monitor, investigate, and report adverse events. In the Federal Register of May 2, 2005 (70 FR 22664), FDA announced the availability of the draft guidance of the same title dated April 2005. FDA received several comments on the draft guidance and those comments were considered as the guidance was finalized. A summary of changes includes: (1) Clarification of the clinical toxicity parameters and (2) revision of laboratory parameter limit values based on additional published data. The guidance announced in this notice finalizes the draft guidance dated April 2005. The guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents FDA’s current thinking on this topic. 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 U.S.C. app.2) and 21 CFR part 14 relating to advisory committees. Dated: September 13, 2007. Randall W. Lutter, Deputy Commissioner for Policy. [FR Doc.
