SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Alcoholism: Developing Drugs for Treatment.’’ There is a need for additional pharmacologic treatments for alcoholism. Traditionally, alcoholism treatments have been assessed based on the number of patients who refrain from drinking altogether. Patients who attain and sustain complete abstinence from alcohol may be assumed to accrue clinical benefit. However, other patterns of drinking also may be valid surrogates for clinical benefit. This guidance provides supporting information for endpoints based on patterns of drinking that may be considered appropriate measures of clinical benefit. This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the Agency’s current thinking on the development of drugs for the treatment of alcoholism and appropriate endpoints for clinical trials of drugs to treat alcoholism. 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 that 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 parts 312 and 314 have been approved under OMB E:\FR\FM\12FEN1.SGM 12FEN1
