I. Background Capturing outcomes that are important to patients in clinical trials is a high priority for FDA. The pilot COA Compendium is part of FDA’s efforts to foster patient-focused drug development.1 The COA Compendium is intended to facilitate communication and to provide clarity and transparency to drug developers and the research community by collating and summarizing clinical outcome assessment information for many different diseases and conditions into a single resource. It can be used as a starting point when considering how certain clinical outcome assessments might be utilized in clinical trials and will likely be most informative in early drug development. The public is referred to the following FDA Web site for additional background information, along with the pilot COA Compendium: https://www.fda.gov/COACompendium. asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES II. Establishment of a Docket and Request for Comments To help FDA determine the utility of the COA Compendium, develop future iterations of the COA Compendium, and identify best methods for conveying COA Compendium information on FDA’s Web site, FDA is launching the pilot COA Compendium and soliciting public suggestions, recommendations, and comments for each aspect of the COA Compendium mentioned on the following FDA Web site: https:// 1 The term drug, as used in this notice, refers to human drugs including biological products. 16:59 Jan 12, 2016 Jkt 238001 Dated: January 7, 2016.

Need and Use of Information Collection: The Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT), in collaboration with the Center for Cancer Genomics at the National Cancer Instititues (NCI) in the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is coordinating a program to develop three Cancer Genomics Cloud Pilots to help meet the research community’s needs to access and analyze high quality, largescale cancer genomic data and associated clinical information. The goal of this effort is to develop an innovative, cost-effective model for computational analysis of biological data and provide broader yet secure access to genomic data that NCI generates. Cloud computing will be a valuable tool to support studies related to the mechanisms of cancer. This capability will be equally valuable to other NCI scientific areas, including clinical trials and other types of patient-focused research. In order to understand the utility and value of the tools being developed, the NCI has developed a survey instrument to capture feedback from the cancer research community. The information collected as part of this survey process will be used exclusively by the NCI to determine future funding of cloud technology projects. OMB approval is requested for 3 years.
