Background FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry #191 entitled ‘‘Changes to Approved NADAs—New NADAs vs. Category II Supplemental NADAs’’. In the past, applications for changes to approved new animal drugs may have been handled inconsistently by sponsors and the agency. Inconsistency in handling such applications has been confusing for sponsors and for CVM, particularly when reviewing and referencing the history of specific new animal drug applications (NADAs). This guidance is intended to improve consistency in the way applications for changes are handled. We believe that consistent handling of these types of applications also will help maintain clarity in the administrative record, which is an important part of protecting the public health. When proposing a change to an approved new animal drug that may affect the safety and/or effectiveness of the drug, such changes generally must be submitted to FDA either as a new VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:09 Dec 15, 2008 Jkt 217001 NADA or a supplemental application to the original NADA. Category II supplemental NADAs are the type of supplement that is used to propose changes that may require a reevaluation of certain safety or effectiveness data in the parent application. Specific changes meeting the requirements for a Category II supplemental NADA are described in 21 CFR 514.106(b)(2). This guidance provides examples and makes specific recommendations about when a change to an approved NADA that requires FDA to review safety and/or effectiveness data should be submitted as a new NADA and when such a change should be submitted as a Category II supplemental NADA. In addition, the guidance addresses how to handle submissions relating to certain types of proposed changes at the investigational stage. II. Significance of Guidance This level 1 draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the agency’s current thinking on this topic.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 used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 This draft guidance refers to previously approved collections of information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). The collections of information have been approved under OMB Control No. 0910–0032. IV.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:09 Dec 15, 2008 Jkt 217001 II. Comments FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Orally Disintegrating Tablets.’’ The guidance provides pharmaceutical manufacturers of new and generic drug products with an agency perspective on the definition of an ODT and also provides recommendations to applicants who would like to designate proposed products as ODTs. On April 9, 2007 (72 FR 17563), FDA announced the availability of the draft version of this guidance. The public comment period closed on June 8, 2007. The draft guidance also was discussed at an Advisory Committee for Pharmaceutical Science meeting held on July 22 and 23, 2008. A number of comments were received from the public and during the meeting, all of which the agency considered carefully as it finalized the guidance and made appropriate changes. Any changes to the guidance were minor and made to clarify statements in the draft guidance. In an effort to develop drug products that are more convenient to use and to address potential issues of patient compliance for certain product indications and patient populations, pharmaceutical manufacturers have developed products that can be ingested simply by placing them on the tongue. The products are designed to disintegrate or dissolve rapidly on contact with saliva, thus eliminating the need to chew the tablet, swallow an intact tablet, or take the tablet with liquids. This mode of administration was initially expected to be beneficial to pediatric and geriatric patients, to people with conditions related to impaired swallowing, and for treatment of patients when compliance may be difficult (e.g., for psychiatric disorders). As firms started developing additional products using different technology and formulations, many of these later products exhibited wide variation in product characteristics from the initial products. Because this shift in product characteristics can affect suitability for particular uses, the agency developed this guidance for industry. This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the agency’s current thinking on orally disintegrating tablets. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry 
entitled ``Postmarketing Adverse Event Reporting for Medical Products 
and Dietary Supplements During an Influenza Pandemic.'' FDA anticipates 
that during an influenza pandemic, industry and FDA workforces may be 
reduced while reporting of adverse events related to widespread use of 
influenza-related products may increase, although the extent of these 
possible changes is unknown. This draft guidance discusses FDA's 
intended approach to enforcement of adverse event reporting 
requirements for drugs, biologics, medical devices, and dietary 
supplements in the event of an influenza pandemic. The draft guidance 
provides recommendations to permit industry to focus their limited 
resources on reports related to influenza-related products and other 
specific types of reports. The draft guidance indicates FDA's intention 
not to object if, during Federal Government Response Stage 5, certain 
required adverse event reports are not provided within the timeframes 
required by statute and regulation, as long as any delayed reports are 
then provided during Federal Government Response Stage 6.
    This draft guidance does not address monitoring and reporting of 
adverse events that might be imposed as a condition of authorization 
for products authorized for emergency use under section 564 of the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3). 
This draft guidance also does not address monitoring and reporting of 
adverse events as required by regulations establishing the conditions 
for investigational use of drugs, biologics, and devices. (See 21 CFR 
parts 312 and 812.)
    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 
postmarketing adverse event reporting for medical products and dietary 
supplements during pandemic influenza. 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 this document. 
Submit a single copy of electronic comments or two paper copies of any 
mailed comments, except that individuals may submit one paper copy. 
Comments are to be identified with the docket number found in brackets 
in the heading of this document. Received comments may be seen in the 
Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday 
through Friday.
    Please note that on January 15, 2008, the FDA Division of Dockets 
Management Web site transitioned to the Federal Dockets Management 
System (FDMS). FDMS is a Government-wide, electronic docket management 
system. Electronic comments or submissions will be accepted by FDA only 
through FDMS at https://www.regulations.gov.

III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    The draft guidance explains FDA's approach to enforcement of 
adverse event reporting requirements for drugs, biologics, medical 
devices, and dietary supplements during the Federal Government Response 
Stages of an influenza pandemic, including an intent not to object to 
changes in the timing of submission of certain reports during some 
stages of the pandemic response. The draft guidance refers to reporting 
requirements found in 21 CFR 310.305, 314.80, 314.98, 600.80, 606.170, 
640.73, 1271.350, and part 803. These regulations contain collections 
of information that are subject to review by the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520) and are approved under OMB control numbers 0910-0116, 0910-
0291, 0910-0230, 0910-0308, and 0910-0543.
    The draft guidance also refers to adverse event reports required 
under sections 760 and 761 of the act (21 U.S.C. 379aa and 379aa-1), 
which are addressed in two draft guidances for industry. FDA's October 
15, 2007, notices of availability for those draft guidances, entitled 
``Postmarketing Adverse Event Reporting for Nonprescription Human Drug 
Products Marketed Without an Approved Application'' (72 FR 58316) and 
``Questions and Answers Regarding Adverse Event Reporting and 
Recordkeeping for Dietary Supplements as Required by the Dietary 
Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act'' (72 FR 
58313), describe related proposed collections of information. As 
required by the PRA, FDA published analyses of the information 
collection provisions of the October 2007 draft guidances and will 
submit the collection of information analyses to OMB for approval prior 
to issuing final guidances.
