SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Lupus Nephritis Caused By Systemic Lupus Erythematosus—Developing Medical Products for Treatment.’’ This guidance is intended to assist sponsors in the clinical development of medical products for the treatment of LN caused by SLE. Specifically, the guidance addresses study population enrollment and efficacy endpoints for LN trials. In the Federal Register of March 29, 2005 (70 FR 15868), FDA announced the availability of a draft guidance entitled ‘‘Systemic Lupus Erythematosus— Developing Drugs for Treatment,’’ which included recommendations regarding medical product development for the treatment of LN caused by SLE. The recommendations specific to LN were removed from the draft guidance and are being finalized in this separate guidance. However, sponsors also should become familiar with the information regarding the overall development program and clinical trial designs for general SLE disease. The guidance entitled ‘‘Systemic Lupus Erythematosus—Developing Medical Products for Treatment,’’ the availabity of which is announced elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, provides general information on clinical trial considerations that may assist sponsors in studying LN, as well as providing specific information on trial design, trial duration, efficacy endpoints, and response criteria in SLE. FDA received a number of comments on the draft guidance. The comments specific to LN were considered and incorporated, as appropriate, when finalizing this separate guidance. Other changes that were made include the addition of more specific examples of trial design and study endpoints, updating the science, and minor editorial changes to clarify specific issues. In addition, input was obtained from the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research and the Center for Devices and Radiological Health. 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 developing medical products for the treatment of LN caused by SLE. 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:17 Jun 21, 2010 Jkt 220001 II.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry 
entitled ``Lupus Nephritis Caused By Systemic Lupus Erythematosus--
Developing Medical Products for Treatment.'' This guidance is intended 
to assist sponsors in the clinical development of medical products for 
the treatment of LN caused by SLE. Specifically, the guidance addresses 
study population enrollment and efficacy endpoints for LN trials.
    In the Federal Register of March 29, 2005 (70 FR 15868), FDA 
announced the availability of a draft guidance entitled ``Systemic 
Lupus Erythematosus--Developing Drugs for Treatment,'' which included 
recommendations regarding medical product development for the treatment 
of LN caused by SLE. The recommendations specific to LN were removed 
from the draft guidance and are being finalized in this separate 
guidance. However, sponsors also should become familiar with the 
information regarding the overall development program and clinical 
trial designs for general SLE disease. The guidance entitled ``Systemic 
Lupus Erythematosus--Developing Medical Products for Treatment,'' the 
availabity of which is announced elsewhere in this issue of the Federal 
Register, provides general information on clinical trial considerations 
that may assist sponsors in studying LN, as well as providing specific 
information on trial design, trial duration, efficacy endpoints, and 
response criteria in SLE.
    FDA received a number of comments on the draft guidance. The 
comments specific to LN were considered and incorporated, as 
appropriate, when finalizing this separate guidance. Other changes that 
were made include the addition of more specific examples of trial 
design and study endpoints, updating the science, and minor editorial 
changes to clarify specific issues. In addition, input was obtained 
from the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research and the Center 
for Devices and Radiological Health.
    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 developing medical products for the 
treatment of LN caused by SLE. 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. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This 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 in 21 CFR part 312 have been approved under 
OMB Control No. 0910-0014; the collections of information in 21 CFR 
part 314 have been approved under OMB Control No. 0910-0001; the 
collections of information in 21 CFR part 601 have been approved under 
OMB Control No. 0910-0338; and the collections of information in 21 CFR 
part 812 have been approved under OMB Control No. 0910-0078.
