E9–10622 Filed 5–6–09; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4184–01–P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Food and Drug Administration [Docket No. FDA–2009–N–0192] Availability of Information Related to the Sentinel Initiative AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the opening of a docket to receive and to make available to the public reports and other relevant information received by FDA related to the Sentinel Initiative. The goal of the Sentinel Initiative is to develop a system that will ultimately enable FDA to actively monitor the safety of marketed regulated products. The information that will be made available is being developed primarily, but not exclusively, as a result of a series of contracts awarded by FDA to inform the development of the system. The information will be made available in the docket under the docket number at the top of this notice, as well as on FDA’s Sentinel Initiative Web page (Sentinel Web page) at https:// www.fda.gov/oc/initiatives/advance/ sentinel/. FDA welcomes interested parties, including individuals, to submit to this docket their views and perspectives on the information included in the docket or on any other aspect of the Sentinel Initiative. DATES: Submit written or electronic comments at any time. VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:03 May 06, 2009 Jkt 217001 Submit written comments on the information in this docket to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA– 305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. Submit electronic comments to https://www.regulations.gov. See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for electronic access to the information. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Melissa Robb, Office of Critical Path Programs, Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301–827–1512. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ADDRESSES: I. Background An important part of FDA’s mission is to protect public health by monitoring the safety of marketed regulated products. FDA currently has a number of reporting systems in place for learning about and tracking reports of adverse events and product problems associated with the use of FDAregulated products. However, most of these systems are passive; someone (e.g., a healthcare professional, consumer, pharmaceutical company) must first report such an event or problem to FDA. To augment this mostly passive approach to monitoring postmarket safety, FDA announced in May 2008 the development of a system that would enable FDA to capitalize on the capabilities of multiple existing electronic health care data systems (e.g. electronic health record systems, administrative claims databases, registries) to actively monitor regulated product safety. As currently envisioned, the system would enable FDA to query large participating data sources quickly and securely for relevant product safety information. FDA would send questions to participating data holders, who in turn would, in accordance with existing privacy and security safeguards, evaluate their data and send summary results to FDA for agency review. This system, which will be developed and implemented in stages, is expected to facilitate the development of active surveillance methodologies related to signal detection, signal strengthening, and signal validation. To be successful, the system will require the participation of many stakeholders. Since announcing the Sentinel Initiative, FDA has fostered a broad public forum to explore the complexities of creating such a system. Numerous meetings have been held with a variety of stakeholders. Eight contracts have been awarded to explore a variety of topics that will inform the development of the system, and a PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 21371 number of pilot projects are under way that will contribute to answering some of the many technical and policy challenges that need to be addressed. To ensure the broadest possible availability of information related to FDA’s Sentinel Initiative and to encourage public participation in the initiative, FDA is announcing the opening of a docket to receive and make available to the public reports and other information received by FDA related to the Sentinel Initiative. FDA is making this information available in the docket listed at the top of this notice, as well as on FDA’s Sentinel Web page at https:// www.fda.gov/oc/initiatives/advance/ sentinel/. FDA is interested in receiving input from interested parties, including individuals, and encourages those parties to submit to this docket relevant views and perspectives on the information included in the docket or on any other aspect of the Sentinel Initiative. As reports and other relevant information are submitted to the agency, FDA will make them available to the public by placing them in the docket and posting them on the Sentinel Web page. Those persons wishing to provide their views and perspectives are encouraged to send their input to the docket for broad public consideration. II. Documents Being Submitted With This Notice FDA is making available with this notice the first of a series of documents containing reports and other information related to the Sentinel Initiative. This document contains a report from the Group Health Cooperative Center for Health Studies as a result of the contract awarded on Evaluation of Existing Methods for Safety Signal Identification for the Sentinel Initiative. III. Submission of Input on the Contents of This Docket Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) written or electronic views and perspectives regarding this information. Submit a single copy of electronic submissions or two paper copies of any mailed submissions, except that individuals may submit one paper copy. Submissions are to be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. Received submissions may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. E:\FR\FM\07MYN1.SGM 07MYN1
