SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background This guidance provides sponsors and FDA staff with guidance on how to plan and implement adaptive designs for clinical studies when used in medical device development programs. This document addresses adaptive designs for medical device clinical trials and is applicable to premarket medical device submissions including premarket approval applications (PMA), premarket notification (510(k)) submissions, de novo submissions (evaluation of automatic class III designation), humanitarian device exemption (HDE) applications, and investigational device exemption (IDE) submissions. This guidance can be applied throughout the clinical development program of a medical device, from feasibility studies to pivotal clinical trials. This guidance does not apply to clinical studies of combination products or codevelopment of a pharmaceutical product with an unapproved diagnostic test. The draft guidance was available from May 18, 2015, to August 17, 2015. FDA received 151 comments from seven entities and has incorporated most of them in this final guidance. II. Significance of Guidance This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the current thinking of FDA on ‘‘Adaptive Designs for Medical Device Clinical Studies.’’ 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. III.
