Download as PDF 19622 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 68 / Wednesday, April 9, 2014 / Notices SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Immunogenicity-Related Considerations for the Approval of Low Molecular Weight Heparin for NDAs and ANDAs.’’ This draft guidance provides recommendations to applicants for new drug applications (NDAs) and abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) regarding impurities and their potential effect on immunogenicity for LMWH. The draft guidance also includes recommendations on meeting the requirement for active ingredient sameness for ANDAs. A demonstration of active ingredient sameness helps to address immunogenicity in the context of ANDAs. This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the Agency’s current thinking on immunogenicity-related considerations for low molecular weight heparin for NDAs and ANDAs. 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. Dated: April 3, 2014. Leslie Kux, Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
