FDA Review Under the pilot program, early feasibility study IDE applications will be reviewed according to the approaches outlined in the early feasibility study draft guidance. The essential elements announced in the early feasibility study draft guidance are: • FDA may approve an IDE application for an early feasibility study, including certain first in human studies, based on less nonclinical data than would be expected for a traditional feasibility or a pivotal study. This is because early feasibility studies are only appropriate where additional nonclinical testing is not available or adequate to provide the information needed to advance the developmental process. Identification of the data necessary to support an early feasibility study should be based on a thorough device evaluation strategy that describes the device and procedure-related attributes and addresses the potential failure modes. Appropriate human subject protection measures and risk mitigation strategies must also be identified. This policy is intended to facilitate initiation of clinical studies in the United States earlier in the device development process than has historically occurred, when appropriate. • New approaches that facilitate timely device and clinical protocol modifications during an early feasibility study while still requiring compliance with the IDE regulations in 21 CFR part 812. FDA has provided additional information regarding its expectations for early feasibility study IDE applications in the early feasibility study draft guidance. D. Duration of the Pilot FDA intends to accept requests for participation in the pilot program for 180 days from the date of publication of this notice. FDA may decide to terminate the pilot program before the close of the 180-day period or extend the pilot program beyond the 180-day period. The decision to terminate or extend the pilot will be announced in the Federal Register. FDA may also decide to modify the pilot program while it is in effect. Any modifications will also be announced in the Federal Register. FDA intends to terminate the pilot program when the early feasibility study draft guidance is finalized. E. Evaluation FDA intends to use the experience gained from the pilot program to inform the final version of the early feasibility study draft guidance.
