SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In the Federal Register of June 11,
2010 (75 FR 33311), FDA announced the
availability of a guidance for industry,
‘‘Bioequivalence Recommendations for
Specific Products,’’ which 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/
GuidanceCompliance
RegulatoryInformation/Guidances/
default.htm. As described in that
guidance, FDA adopted this process as
a means to develop and disseminate
product-specific BE recommendations
and provide a meaningful opportunity
for the public to consider and comment
on those recommendations. This notice
announces the availability of revised
draft BE recommendations for
cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion.
FDA initially approved new drug
application 050790 for RESTASIS
(cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion),
0.05% in December 2002. There are no
approved ANDAs for this product. In
June 2013, we issued a draft guidance
PO 00000
Frm 00070
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
7811
for industry on BE recommendations for
generic cyclosporine ophthalmic
emulsion.
Allergan, Inc., manufacturer of the
reference listed drug, RESTASIS,
submitted a citizen petition in February
2014 challenging the Agency’s initial BE
recommendations for generic
cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion. We
responded to that petition on November
20, 2014 (Docket No. FDA–2014–P–
0304). The following month, Allergan
submitted a second citizen petition
challenging the Agency’s initial BE
recommendations. In April 2015, FDA
received a third citizen petition on its
initial BE recommendations from
Physical Pharmaceutica LLC. FDA has
reviewed the issues raised by Allergan
and Physical Pharmaceutica and is
responding to their petitions (Docket
Nos. FDA–2015–P–0065 and FDA–
2015–P–1404).
In addition, we are now issuing a
revised draft guidance for industry on
BE recommendations for generic
cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion
(‘‘Draft Guidance on Cyclosporine’’).
This draft guidance is being issued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The draft guidance, when finalized, will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 cyclosporine ophthalmic
emulsion. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
FDA is announcing the availability of
a draft guidance for industry entitled
‘‘Nonallergic Rhinitis: Developing Drug
Products for Treatment.’’ The purpose of
this draft guidance is to assist applicants
in the development of drug and
biological products for the treatment of
NAR.
The nomenclature and understanding
of the pathophysiology of NAR continue
to evolve. The recommendations in this
guidance are based on the Agency’s
current understanding of the definition
of NAR and an assessment of issues
raised by the presumed heterogeneity of
NAR. The guidance discusses issues
regarding the definition of a clinical
phenotype, trial design, efficacy, and
safety for new products under
development.
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 current thinking of FDA
on developing drug products for the
treatment of NAR. It does not establish
any rights for any person and is not
binding on FDA or the public. You can
use an alternative approach if it satisfies
the requirements of the applicable
statutes and regulations.
