FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Geoffrey Wu, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (HFD–600), Food and Drug Administration, 7519 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 240–276–9326. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In the Federal Register of June 11, 2010 (75 FR 33311; FDA–2007–D–0433), FDA announced the availability of a guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Bioequivalence Recommendations for Specific Products’’ that explained the process that would be used to make product-specific BE recommendations available to the public on FDA’s Web site at https://www.fda.gov/Drugs/ GuidanceComplianceRegulatory Information/Guidances/default.htm. As described in that guidance, FDA adopted this process as a means to develop and disseminate productspecific BE recommendations and provide a meaningful opportunity for the public to consider and comment on those recommendations. This notice announces the availability of draft BE recommendations for pentosan polysulfate sodium capsule. New drug application 020193 for Elmiron (pentosan polysulfate sodium) capsule was initially approved by FDA in September 1996. There are no approved ANDAs for this product. FDA is now issuing a draft guidance for industry on BE recommendations for generic pentosan polysulfate sodium capsule (Draft Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium Capsule BE Recommendations). In March 2012, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Janssen), manufacturer of the reference listed drug (RLD), Elmiron, submitted (through its attorneys) a citizen petition requesting that FDA require that any ANDA referencing Elmiron meet certain conditions, including conditions related to demonstrating BE (Docket No. FDA– 2012–P–0295). FDA is reviewing the issues raised in the petition. FDA will consider any comments on the Draft Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium Capsule BE Recommendations before responding to Janssen’s citizen petition. This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the Agency’s current thinking on the design of BE studies to support ANDAs for pentosan polysulfate sodium capsule. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 58399 alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. II. Comments Interested persons may submit either written comments regarding this document to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) or electronic comments to https:// www.regulations.gov. It is only necessary to send one set of comments. Identify comments 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, and will be posted to the docket at https:// www.regulations.gov. III.
