Identification and Characterization of the Infectious Disease Risks of Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products; Public Workshop, 96007-96008 [2016-31628]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 250 / Thursday, December 29, 2016 / Notices • the statement ‘‘Not for resale,’’ and, if the repackaged radiopharmaceutical is distributed by an outsourcing facility other than pursuant to a prescription for an individual identified patient, the statement ‘‘Office Use Only’’; and • a list of the active and inactive ingredients, unless such information is included on the label for the container from which the individual units are removed, as described in this document. Another condition in the draft guidance is that the label on the container from which the individual units are removed for administration (secondary packaging, e.g., the bag, box, or other package in which the repackaged products are distributed) includes the active and inactive ingredients, if the immediate product label is too small to include this information, and directions for use, including, as appropriate, dosage and administration, and the following information to facilitate adverse event reporting: https://www.fda.gov/ medwatch and 1–800–FDA–1088. We estimate that annually a total of approximately 2 outsourcing facilities (‘‘No. of Respondents’’ in table 1, row 1) will each design, test, and produce approximately 5 different labels (‘‘No. of Disclosures per Respondent’’ in table 1, row 1) for a total of 10 labels that include the information described previously (including directions for use) (‘‘Total Annual Disclosures’’ in table 1, row 1). We also estimate that designing, testing, and producing each label will take approximately 0.5 hours for each repackaged radiopharmaceutical (‘‘Average Burden Hours per Disclosure’’ in table 1, row 1). The provision to add the statement https:// www.fda.gov/medwatch and 1–800– FDA–1088 is not included in this burden estimate because it is not considered a collection of information under the PRA because the information is ‘‘originally supplied by the Federal Government to the recipient for the purpose of disclosure to the public’’ (5 CFR 1320.3(c)(2)). 96007 The draft guidance also references registration, adverse event reporting, product reporting, and current good manufacturing practices (CGMP) requirements for outsourcing facilities. The collection of information for outsourcing facility registration has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under OMB control number 0910–0777 (79 FR 69859, November 24, 2014). The collection of information for adverse event reporting by outsourcing facilities has been approved by OMB under OMB control number 0910–0800 (80 FR 60917, October 8, 2015). In the Federal Register of August 1, 2016 (81 FR 50523), FDA estimated the burden resulting from outsourcing facility electronic drug product reporting. In the Federal Register of July 2, 2014 (79 FR 37743), FDA estimated the burden resulting from outsourcing facility compliance with CGMP requirements. The total estimated third-party disclosure burden resulting from the draft guidance is as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL THIRD-PARTY DISCLOSURE BURDEN Repackaging by outsourcing facilities Number of respondents Number of disclosures per respondent Total annual disclosures Average burden per disclosure Total hours Designing, testing, and producing each label on immediate containers, packages and/or outer containers. 2 5 10 .5 (30 minutes) .... 5 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

Background Transplantation of HCT/Ps represents an area of medicine important for saving and/or enhancing the lives of millions of individuals every year. In order to assure the safety of patients receiving HCT/P transplants, FDA issued regulations to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases by HCT/Ps under part 1271 (21 CFR part 1271) (May 25, 2004; 69 FR 29786). These regulations became effective on May 25, 2005. The regulations under part 1271, subpart C, contain the requirements for E:\FR\FM\29DEN1.SGM 29DEN1 asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 96008 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 250 / Thursday, December 29, 2016 / Notices tissue establishments for determining HCT/P donor eligibility. These requirements include the need to screen and test potential donors of HCT/Ps for relevant communicable disease agents and diseases (RCDADs). The regulations under part 1271, subpart C, list the following RCDADs for all cells and tissues: Human immunodeficiency virus, types 1 and 2; hepatitis B virus; hepatitis C virus; human transmissible spongiform encephalopathy; and Treponema pallidum. These regulations also list human T-lymphotropic virus type I and type II as RCDADs for viable, leukocyterich cells and tissues. For reproductive cells or tissues, a disease agent or disease of the genitourinary tract includes Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea. In addition, the regulations under part 1271, subpart C, recognize that over time as new infectious diseases emerge there would be the need to designate additional RCDADs. The regulations describe the criteria for identifying new RCDADs. These criteria include that the disease or disease agent is potentially transmissible by a HCT/P: Either it has sufficient incidence and/or prevalence to affect the donor population; or if it were released in a manner to place potential donors at risk that it could be fatal or life-threatening, and that there were appropriate screening and legally marketed screening tests available for it. However, the regulations under part 1271, subpart C, do not specify the deliberative and scientific processes necessary to apply the criteria. This workshop will describe currently available scientific methods to characterize both epidemiologic and biological features of emerging diseases and disease agents, and discuss their potential use in evaluating HCT/P infectious diseases risks for the purpose of identifying new RCDADs for the purposes of the HCT/P regulatory framework. Assessing the overall risk of a particular disease agent or disease to recipients of HCT/Ps requires consideration of multiple factors, including the presence of the disease agent or disease in the HCT/P donor population, potential for transmission by an HCT/P, and the potential morbidity or mortality in the recipient. In many cases, information for one or more of these factors may be limited or incomplete. II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Workshop The workshop is intended as a scientific discussion regarding the current methods available to identify and characterize infectious disease risks VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:41 Dec 28, 2016 Jkt 241001 related to HCT/Ps. Topics discussed will include: (1) Estimating disease incidence and/or prevalence in the potential HCT/P donor population, (2) assessing the potential transmissibility of a disease by HCT/Ps, and (3) understanding the capabilities of current screening and testing methodologies. The workshop will also include discussion on how available information can be used to characterize the overall infectious disease risks posed by HCT/Ps. III.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Transplantation of HCT/Ps represents an area of medicine important 
for saving and/or enhancing the lives of millions of individuals every 
year. In order to assure the safety of patients receiving HCT/P 
transplants, FDA issued regulations to prevent the introduction, 
transmission, or spread of communicable diseases by HCT/Ps under part 
1271 (21 CFR part 1271) (May 25, 2004; 69 FR 29786). These regulations 
became effective on May 25, 2005. The regulations under part 1271, 
subpart C, contain the requirements for

[[Page 96008]]

tissue establishments for determining HCT/P donor eligibility. These 
requirements include the need to screen and test potential donors of 
HCT/Ps for relevant communicable disease agents and diseases (RCDADs).
    The regulations under part 1271, subpart C, list the following 
RCDADs for all cells and tissues: Human immunodeficiency virus, types 1 
and 2; hepatitis B virus; hepatitis C virus; human transmissible 
spongiform encephalopathy; and Treponema pallidum. These regulations 
also list human T-lymphotropic virus type I and type II as RCDADs for 
viable, leukocyte- rich cells and tissues. For reproductive cells or 
tissues, a disease agent or disease of the genitourinary tract includes 
Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea. In addition, the 
regulations under part 1271, subpart C, recognize that over time as new 
infectious diseases emerge there would be the need to designate 
additional RCDADs. The regulations describe the criteria for 
identifying new RCDADs. These criteria include that the disease or 
disease agent is potentially transmissible by a HCT/P: Either it has 
sufficient incidence and/or prevalence to affect the donor population; 
or if it were released in a manner to place potential donors at risk 
that it could be fatal or life-threatening, and that there were 
appropriate screening and legally marketed screening tests available 
for it. However, the regulations under part 1271, subpart C, do not 
specify the deliberative and scientific processes necessary to apply 
the criteria.
    This workshop will describe currently available scientific methods 
to characterize both epidemiologic and biological features of emerging 
diseases and disease agents, and discuss their potential use in 
evaluating HCT/P infectious diseases risks for the purpose of 
identifying new RCDADs for the purposes of the HCT/P regulatory 
framework. Assessing the overall risk of a particular disease agent or 
disease to recipients of HCT/Ps requires consideration of multiple 
factors, including the presence of the disease agent or disease in the 
HCT/P donor population, potential for transmission by an HCT/P, and the 
potential morbidity or mortality in the recipient. In many cases, 
information for one or more of these factors may be limited or 
incomplete.

II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Workshop

    The workshop is intended as a scientific discussion regarding the 
current methods available to identify and characterize infectious 
disease risks related to HCT/Ps. Topics discussed will include: (1) 
Estimating disease incidence and/or prevalence in the potential HCT/P 
donor population, (2) assessing the potential transmissibility of a 
disease by HCT/Ps, and (3) understanding the capabilities of current 
screening and testing methodologies. The workshop will also include 
discussion on how available information can be used to characterize the 
overall infectious disease risks posed by HCT/Ps.
