SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of January 30, 1998 (63 FR 4571), FDA published a final rule that revised 21 CFR 814.44(d) and 814.45(d) to discontinue individual publication of PMA approvals and denials in the Federal Register. Instead, the agency now posts this information on the Internet on FDA’s home page at https://www.fda.gov. FDA believes that this procedure expedites public notification of these actions because announcements can be placed on the Internet more quickly than they can be published in the Federal Register, and FDA believes that the Internet is accessible to more people than the Federal Register. In accordance with section 515(d)(4) and (e)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 360e(d)(4) and (e)(2)), notification of an order approving, denying, or withdrawing approval of a PMA will continue to include a notice of opportunity to request review of the order under section 515(g) of the act. The 30-day period for requesting reconsideration of an FDA action under § 10.33(b) (21 CFR 10.33(b)) for notices announcing approval of a PMA begins on the day the notice is placed on the Internet. Section 10.33(b) provides that FDA may, for good cause, extend this 30-day period. Reconsideration of a denial or withdrawal of approval of a PMA may be sought only by the applicant; in these cases, the 30-day period will begin when the applicant is notified by FDA in writing of its decision. The regulations provide that FDA publish a quarterly list of available safety and effectiveness summaries of PMA approvals and denials that were announced during that quarter. The following is a list of approved PMAs for which summaries of safety and effectiveness were placed on the Internet from January 1, 2008, through March 31, 2008. There were no denial actions during this period. The list provides the manufacturer’s name, the product’s generic name or the trade name, and the approval date.

BHD is a dermatologic disorder associated with an increased risk for developing renal cancer, spontaneous pneumothorax and lung cysts. FNIP2 binds to the C-terminus of folliculin and to AMPK. Importantly, FNIP2 expression was elevated in renal tumors seen in BDH patients. This finding suggests that FNIP2 may serve as a biomarker for BHD. Applications: Research tool; Diagnostic applications. Advantages: Could facilitate the development of therapeutic drugs to treat the skin lesions and renal tumors that develop in BHD patients. Development Status: Early stage of development. Market: Dermatologic products; Diagnostic applications. Inventors: Laura S. Schmidt et al. (NCI). Relevant Publication: H Hasumi et al.

This may include development of an efficient FNIP2 antibody which does not cross react with FNIP1 for immunhistochemical screening of renal tumors for FNIP2 expression. Please contact John D. Hewes, Ph.D. at 301– 435–3121 or hewesj@mail.nih.gov for more information. Immunotoxins Made With Modified Cholix Toxin and Uses Thereof Description of Technology: Immunotoxins are chimeric molecules comprising an antibody targeting moiety and a toxin domain capable of killing a cell. Immunotoxins represent an important therapeutic tool for the treatment of cancer because they are able to specifically target cancer cells while ignoring healthy cells. The major drawback to immunotoxins is the development of neutralizing antibodies against the toxin portion of the immunotoxin. Many patients treated with Pseudomonas exotoxin A (PE) based immunotoxins develop neutralizing antibodies after the first administration. As a result, only one effective administration of a PE-based immunotoxin is often possible. NIH inventors have created a novel immunotoxin, where the toxin portion is a truncated Cholera exotoxin (cholix toxin). Although cholix toxin retains strong functional and structural similarity to PE, neutralizing antibodies to PE do not affect the truncated cholix toxin. As a result, cholix toxin-based immunotoxins are of potential utility after a patient has developed neutralizing antibodies to PE. The ability to deliver two rounds of immunotoxins to a patient will increase the successful treatment of various diseases, including cancer. Application: E:\FR\FM\28AUN1.SGM 28AUN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of January 30, 1998 (63 FR 4571), FDA 
published a final rule that revised 21 CFR 814.44(d) and 814.45(d) to 
discontinue individual publication of PMA approvals and denials in the 
Federal Register. Instead, the agency now posts this information on the 
Internet on FDA's home page at https://www.fda.gov. FDA believes that 
this procedure expedites public notification of these actions because 
announcements can be placed on the Internet more quickly than they can 
be published in the Federal Register, and FDA believes that the 
Internet is accessible to more people than the Federal Register.
    In accordance with section 515(d)(4) and (e)(2) of the Federal 
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 360e(d)(4) and 
(e)(2)), notification of an order approving, denying, or withdrawing 
approval of a PMA will continue to include a notice of opportunity to 
request review of the order under section 515(g) of the act. The 30-day 
period for requesting reconsideration of an FDA action under Sec.  
10.33(b) (21 CFR 10.33(b)) for notices announcing approval of a PMA 
begins on the day the notice is placed on the Internet. Section 
10.33(b) provides that FDA may, for good cause, extend this 30-day 
period. Reconsideration of a denial or withdrawal of approval of a PMA 
may be sought only by the applicant; in these cases, the 30-day period 
will begin when the applicant is notified by FDA in writing of its 
decision.
    The regulations provide that FDA publish a quarterly list of 
available safety and effectiveness summaries of PMA approvals and 
denials that were announced during that quarter. The following is a 
list of approved PMAs for which summaries of safety and effectiveness 
were placed on the Internet from January 1, 2008, through March 31, 
2008. There were no denial actions during this period. The list 
provides the manufacturer's name, the product's generic name or the 
trade name, and the approval date.
