Background [Docket No. FDA–2008–D–0576] FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for sponsors, clinical investigators, and IRBs entitled ‘‘Data Retention When Subjects Withdraw from FDA-Regulated Clinical Trials.’’ This guidance clarifies FDA’s longstanding position that it is critical that data be retained from individuals who decide to discontinue participation in a clinical study of an investigational product, or who were discontinued from participation by the clinical investigator. rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES Guidance for Sponsors, Clinical Investigators, and IRBs; Data Retention When Subjects Withdraw From FDA-Regulated Clinical Trials; Availability AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:47 Nov 28, 2008 Jkt 217001 PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 FDA developed this guidance in response to questions from sponsors, clinical investigators, and members of IRBs about previously collected data from subjects who withdraw or are withdrawn from clinical investigations. This guidance describes the regulatory and statutory basis for FDA’s position, as well as the supporting ethical and quality standards, and outlines key points regarding the withdrawal of subjects from a clinical investigation. Because data resulting from these clinical investigations is used to support research applications and new product approvals, it is critical that FDA have a complete and accurate data set. If data were to be removed from the study database, the scientific validity of the data and thus FDA’s analysis of it could be jeopardized potentially compromising the agency’s ability to safeguard the public health. This Level 1 guidance is being issued for immediate implementation to prevent the potential loss of important clinical trial data. This approach is consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). If comments are received on this Level 1 guidance, FDA will review the comments and revise the guidance if appropriate. This guidance represents the agency’s long-standing policy and current thinking on the retention of data when subjects withdraw from FDAregulated clinical trials. 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. Interested persons may submit written comments on the guidance to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, the Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance document entitled ‘‘Guidance on Important Considerations for When E:\FR\FM\01DEN1.SGM 01DEN1
