Program for Parallel Review of Medical Devices, 73113-73115 [2016-25659]

Download as PDF 73113 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 205 / Monday, October 24, 2016 / Notices information collection plan is designed to allow CDC to conduct formative research information collection activities for developing new tools and methodologies to support agency research, surveillance, program evaluation, communications, health promotion, and research project development. It helps researchers identify and understand the characteristics of target populations that influence their decisions and actions. Formative research is integral in developing programs as well as improving existing and ongoing programs. Formative research looks at the community in which a public health intervention is planned or will be implemented and helps the project staff understand the interests, attributes and needs of different populations and persons in that community. Formative research occurs before a program is designed and implemented, or while a program is being conducted. CDC conducts formative research to develop public-sensitive and effective communication messages and data collection tools. To develop scientifically valid and appropriate methods, interventions, and instruments, cycles of interviews and focus groups are designed to inform the development of a product. Products from these formative research studies will be used for prevention of illness and disease. Findings from these studies may also be presented as evidence to disease- specific National Advisory Committees, to support revisions to recommended prevention and intervention methods, as well as new recommendations. Much of CDC’s health communication takes place within campaigns that have fairly lengthy planning periods— timeframes that accommodate the standard Federal process for approving data collections. Short term qualitative interviewing and cognitive research techniques have previously proven invaluable in the development process. This request may include studies investigating the utility and acceptability of proposed sampling and recruitment methods, intervention contents and delivery, questionnaire domains, individual questions, and interactions with project staff or electronic data collection equipment. These activities will also provide information about how respondents answer questions and ways in which question response bias and error can be reduced. This request may include the collection of information from public health programs to assess needs related to initiation of a new program activity or expansion or changes in scope or implementation of existing program activities to adapt them to current needs. The information collected will be used to advise programs and provide capacity-building assistance tailored to the identified needs. Overall, these development activities are intended to provide information that Form name General public and health care providers.

The studies that will be covered under this request will include one or more of the following investigational modalities: (1) Structured and qualitative interviewing for surveillance, research, interventions and material development, (2) cognitive interviewing for development of specific data collection instruments, (3) methodological research (4) usability testing of technology-based instruments and materials, (5) field testing of new methodologies and materials, (6) investigation of mental models for health decision-making, to inform health communication messages, and (7) organizational needs assessments to support development of capacity. Respondents who will participate in individual and group interviews (qualitative, cognitive, and computer assisted development activities) are selected purposively from those who respond to recruitment advertisements. In addition to utilizing advertisements for recruitment, respondents who will participate in research on survey methods may be selected purposively or systematically from within an ongoing surveillance or research project. Participation of respondents is voluntary. There is no cost to participants other than their time. Annual estimated burden is 18,750 hours. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) (the Agencies) are informing the public that the Parallel Review of medical devices pilot program will be fully implemented and extended indefinitely. The Agencies are soliciting nominations from manufacturers of innovative medical devices to participate in the ‘‘Program for Parallel Review of Medical Devices.’’ The Parallel Review program is a collaborative effort that is intended to reduce the time between FDA marketing approval or FDA’s granting of a de novo request and Medicare coverage decisions through CMS’s National Coverage Determination (NCD) SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\24OCN1.SGM 24OCN1 73114 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 205 / Monday, October 24, 2016 / Notices process.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES I. Background A. Parallel Review Pilot Program’s History As discussed in the September 17, 2010, Federal Register notice (75 FR 57045), the Agencies announced their intention to initiate a Parallel Review pilot program that would establish a process for overlapping evaluation of clinical evidence for premarket, FDAregulated medical devices in order to reduce the time between FDA marketing approval or FDA’s granting of a de novo request and a Medicare NCD. The Agencies piloted the program in an effort to increase quality of patient health care by facilitating earlier access to innovative medical technologies for Medicare beneficiaries. In the October 11, 2011, Federal Register notice (76 FR 62808), the Agencies provided notice of the procedures for voluntary participation in the pilot program as well as the guiding principles they intended to follow during the program. In the December 18, 2013, Federal Register notice (78 FR 76628), the Agencies extended the duration of the pilot program for an additional 2 years. Currently, the Agencies appreciate the full potential of the parallel review program and realize the positive impact of the pilot, and have now decided to transition into a permanent program. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:42 Oct 21, 2016 Jkt 241001 B. Purpose of Parallel Review Parallel Review allows both Agencies to review information about a medical device concurrently, rather than sequentially, while continuing to make their premarket review and coverage decisions consistent with their respective statutory authority. FDA works to ensure that only safe and effective medical devices are marketed in the United States. CMS makes coverage decisions for medical technologies, which are reasonable and necessary for the Medicare population. Neither FDA’s premarket review criteria nor CMS’s coverage processes criteria change when a medical device is accepted into the parallel review program. C. Lessons Learned From the Parallel Review Pilot Program The Agencies learned two primary lessons from the Parallel Review pilot program. First, they found that manufacturers benefit from engaging both Agencies at the pivotal clinical trial design phase. The feedback that manufacturers receive from both Agencies at the pivotal clinical trial design stage can assist manufacturers in designing pivotal trials that can answer both Agencies’ evidentiary questions. Thus, it is more likely that manufacturers will only need to conduct a single pivotal clinical study rather than several pivotal clinical studies to satisfy both Agencies. Second, concurrent review by the Agencies of clinical evidence can reduce the time from FDA premarket approval or the granting of a de novo request to an NCD. For example, on August 11, 2014, FDA approved a medical device that was part of the Parallel Review Pilot Program. On the same day, CMS initiated its national coverage analysis (NCA). CMS published a favorable final NCD on October 9, 2014, less than 2 months after the medical device received its premarket approval and 7 months before the NCD statutory due date. II. Parallel Review Program Based on the positive experience from the Parallel Review Pilot Program, both Agencies have decided to extend the Parallel Review program indefinitely. A. Parallel Review Process The program has two stages: (1) The pivotal clinical trial design development stage, and (2) the concurrent evidentiary review stage. The manufacturer should submit a request for parallel review prior to the start of the first stage by sending an email to Parallel-Review@ fda.hhs.gov, which indicates their PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 interest in the program and includes the following information: 1. Nomination of manufacturer: • Name of the manufacturer and relevant contact information; • name of the product; • succinct description of the technology and disease or condition the device is intended to diagnose or treat; and • state of development of the technology (that is, in pre-clinical testing, in clinical trials, currently undergoing premarket review by FDA) 2. A statement that the manufacturer intends to meet jointly with FDA and CMS using FDA’s Pre-Submission program (Ref. 1), or other mechanisms that allow for meetings of the three parties to gather and incorporate feedback from both Agencies about the design and analysis of their pivotal clinical trial, to support a marketing application and a National Coverage Determination. 3. A statement that the medical device will require an original or supplemental application for premarket approval (PMA) or the granting of an FDA de novo request; 4. The medical device is not excluded by statute from Part A and/or Part B Medicare coverage (and the request for parallel review includes a list of Part A and/or Part B Medicare benefit categories, as applicable, into which the manufacturer believes the medical device falls); and 5. A statement that the medical device addresses the public health needs of the Medicare population (and the request for parallel review includes an explanation of how). Upon completion of the pivotal trial and submission of an original or supplemental PMA, or a de novo request, the Agencies intend to review the pivotal clinical trial evidence concurrently (‘‘in parallel’’). Both Agencies will independently review the data to determine whether it meets their respective Agency’s standards and communicate with the manufacturer during their respective reviews. Manufacturers and each Agency have the option to withdraw from the Parallel Review Program until CMS opens the NCD by posting a tracking sheet. For example, if the manufacturer would like to withdraw from the program after the pivotal trial, but before the NCA tracking sheet is posted, that would be acceptable. More information on the NCD process is set forth in the August 7, 2013 Federal Register notice (78 FR 48164). Once a tracking sheet is posted, CMS must complete the statutorily defined NCD process. E:\FR\FM\24OCN1.SGM 24OCN1 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 205 / Monday, October 24, 2016 / Notices B. Candidate Prioritization The Agencies intend to review Parallel Review requests and respond within 30 days after receipt of the email. The Agencies intend to prioritize innovative medical devices that will benefit from the efficiencies of the Parallel Review. Priority will also be given to medical devices expected to have the most impact on the Medicare population. An FDA marketing approval does not guarantee a favorable coverage decision. III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 As stated in previous Federal Register notices related to the Parallel Review pilot, due to FDA and CMS resource issues, the permanent program will follow the same capacity limit by accepting no more than five candidates per year. As such, like the pilot program, this collection of information does not meet the definition of an information collection, as defined under 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520. IV.

ACTION: Notice. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing that a proposed collection of information has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA). DATES: Fax written comments on the collection of information by November 23, 2016. ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on the information collection are received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer, FAX: 202–395–7285, or emailed to oira_ submission@omb.eop.gov. All comments should be identified with the OMB control number 0910–0672. Also include the FDA docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. SUMMARY: Investigational New Drug Safety Reporting Requirements for Human Drug and Biological Products and Safety Reporting Requirements for Bioavailability and Bioequivalence Studies in Humans; OMB Control Number 0910–0672—Extension In the Federal Register of October 31, 2013 (78 FR 65338), FDA published a document entitled ‘‘Investigational New Drug Safety Reporting Requirements for Human Drug and Biological Products and Safety Reporting Requirements for Bioavailability and Bioequivalence Studies in Humans.’’ The document clarified the Agency’s expectations for timely review, evaluation, and submission of relevant and useful safety information and implemented internationally harmonized definitions and reporting standards for IND safety PO 00000 Frm 00060 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 73115 reports. The document also required safety reporting for bioavailability and bioequivalence studies. The document was intended to improve the utility of Investigational New Drug (IND) safety reports, expedite FDA’s review of critical safety information, better protect human subjects enrolled in clinical trials, and harmonize safety reporting requirements internationally. The rulemaking included the following information collection under the PRA that was not already included in 21 CFR 312.32 and approved under OMB control number 0910–0014. Section 312.32(c)(1)(ii) and (c)(1)(iii) requires reporting to FDA, in an IND safety report, of potential serious risks from clinical trials within 15 calendar days for findings from epidemiological studies, pooled analyses of multiple studies, or other clinical studies that suggest a significant risk in humans exposed to the drug. Section 312.32(c)(1)(iii) specifies the requirements for reporting to FDA in an IND safety report potential serious risks from clinical trials within 15 calendar days for findings from in vitro testing that suggest a significant risk to humans. Section 312.32(c)(1)(iv) requires reporting to FDA in an IND safety report within 15 calendar days of any clinically important increase in the rate of occurrence of serious suspected adverse reactions over that listed in the protocol or investigator brochure. The rulemaking also included new information collection under the PRA by requiring safety reporting for bioavailability and bioequivalence studies (21 CFR 320.31(d)). In tables 1 and 2 of this document, the estimates for ‘‘No. of Respondents,’’ ‘‘No. of Responses per Respondent,’’ and ‘‘Total Annual Responses’’ were obtained from the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) reports and data management systems for submissions received in 2013, 2014, and 2015, and from other sources familiar with the number of submissions received under the noted 21 CFR section. The estimates the ‘‘Hours per Response’’ are unchanged based on information from CDER and CBER individuals familiar with the burden associated with these reports and from prior estimates received from the pharmaceutical industry. In the Federal Register of March 18, 2016 (81 FR 14860), we published a 60day notice requesting public comment on the proposed extension of this E:\FR\FM\24OCN1.SGM 24OCN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

A. Parallel Review Pilot Program's History

    As discussed in the September 17, 2010, Federal Register notice (75 
FR 57045), the Agencies announced their intention to initiate a 
Parallel Review pilot program that would establish a process for 
overlapping evaluation of clinical evidence for premarket, FDA-
regulated medical devices in order to reduce the time between FDA 
marketing approval or FDA's granting of a de novo request and a 
Medicare NCD. The Agencies piloted the program in an effort to increase 
quality of patient health care by facilitating earlier access to 
innovative medical technologies for Medicare beneficiaries.
    In the October 11, 2011, Federal Register notice (76 FR 62808), the 
Agencies provided notice of the procedures for voluntary participation 
in the pilot program as well as the guiding principles they intended to 
follow during the program. In the December 18, 2013, Federal Register 
notice (78 FR 76628), the Agencies extended the duration of the pilot 
program for an additional 2 years.
    Currently, the Agencies appreciate the full potential of the 
parallel review program and realize the positive impact of the pilot, 
and have now decided to transition into a permanent program.

B. Purpose of Parallel Review

    Parallel Review allows both Agencies to review information about a 
medical device concurrently, rather than sequentially, while continuing 
to make their premarket review and coverage decisions consistent with 
their respective statutory authority. FDA works to ensure that only 
safe and effective medical devices are marketed in the United States. 
CMS makes coverage decisions for medical technologies, which are 
reasonable and necessary for the Medicare population. Neither FDA's 
premarket review criteria nor CMS's coverage processes criteria change 
when a medical device is accepted into the parallel review program.

C. Lessons Learned From the Parallel Review Pilot Program

    The Agencies learned two primary lessons from the Parallel Review 
pilot program. First, they found that manufacturers benefit from 
engaging both Agencies at the pivotal clinical trial design phase. The 
feedback that manufacturers receive from both Agencies at the pivotal 
clinical trial design stage can assist manufacturers in designing 
pivotal trials that can answer both Agencies' evidentiary questions. 
Thus, it is more likely that manufacturers will only need to conduct a 
single pivotal clinical study rather than several pivotal clinical 
studies to satisfy both Agencies.
    Second, concurrent review by the Agencies of clinical evidence can 
reduce the time from FDA premarket approval or the granting of a de 
novo request to an NCD. For example, on August 11, 2014, FDA approved a 
medical device that was part of the Parallel Review Pilot Program. On 
the same day, CMS initiated its national coverage analysis (NCA). CMS 
published a favorable final NCD on October 9, 2014, less than 2 months 
after the medical device received its premarket approval and 7 months 
before the NCD statutory due date.

II. Parallel Review Program

    Based on the positive experience from the Parallel Review Pilot 
Program, both Agencies have decided to extend the Parallel Review 
program indefinitely.

A. Parallel Review Process

    The program has two stages: (1) The pivotal clinical trial design 
development stage, and (2) the concurrent evidentiary review stage. The 
manufacturer should submit a request for parallel review prior to the 
start of the first stage by sending an email to Parallel-Review@fda.hhs.gov, which indicates their interest in the program and 
includes the following information:
    1. Nomination of manufacturer:
     Name of the manufacturer and relevant contact information;
     name of the product;
     succinct description of the technology and disease or 
condition the device is intended to diagnose or treat; and
     state of development of the technology (that is, in pre-
clinical testing, in clinical trials, currently undergoing premarket 
review by FDA)
    2. A statement that the manufacturer intends to meet jointly with 
FDA and CMS using FDA's Pre-Submission program (Ref. 1), or other 
mechanisms that allow for meetings of the three parties to gather and 
incorporate feedback from both Agencies about the design and analysis 
of their pivotal clinical trial, to support a marketing application and 
a National Coverage Determination.
    3. A statement that the medical device will require an original or 
supplemental application for premarket approval (PMA) or the granting 
of an FDA de novo request;
    4. The medical device is not excluded by statute from Part A and/or 
Part B Medicare coverage (and the request for parallel review includes 
a list of Part A and/or Part B Medicare benefit categories, as 
applicable, into which the manufacturer believes the medical device 
falls); and
    5. A statement that the medical device addresses the public health 
needs of the Medicare population (and the request for parallel review 
includes an explanation of how).
    Upon completion of the pivotal trial and submission of an original 
or supplemental PMA, or a de novo request, the Agencies intend to 
review the pivotal clinical trial evidence concurrently (``in 
parallel''). Both Agencies will independently review the data to 
determine whether it meets their respective Agency's standards and 
communicate with the manufacturer during their respective reviews.
    Manufacturers and each Agency have the option to withdraw from the 
Parallel Review Program until CMS opens the NCD by posting a tracking 
sheet. For example, if the manufacturer would like to withdraw from the 
program after the pivotal trial, but before the NCA tracking sheet is 
posted, that would be acceptable. More information on the NCD process 
is set forth in the August 7, 2013 Federal Register notice (78 FR 
48164). Once a tracking sheet is posted, CMS must complete the 
statutorily defined NCD process.

[[Page 73115]]

B. Candidate Prioritization

    The Agencies intend to review Parallel Review requests and respond 
within 30 days after receipt of the email. The Agencies intend to 
prioritize innovative medical devices that will benefit from the 
efficiencies of the Parallel Review. Priority will also be given to 
medical devices expected to have the most impact on the Medicare 
population. An FDA marketing approval does not guarantee a favorable 
coverage decision.

III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    As stated in previous Federal Register notices related to the 
Parallel Review pilot, due to FDA and CMS resource issues, the 
permanent program will follow the same capacity limit by accepting no 
more than five candidates per year. As such, like the pilot program, 
this collection of information does not meet the definition of an 
information collection, as defined under 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.
