SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is announcing a public workshop regarding animal model development for infectious diseases. FDA is conducting this workshop in order to facilitate the development of narrowspectrum antibacterial drugs, such as those that are active against only a single species of bacteria that may not occur frequently. When the species occurs infrequently, performing clinical trials can be extremely challenging. Therefore, animal models of infection may be useful to explore the activity of a candidate antibacterial drug and may help to predict whether the drug will be efficacious in humans. A discussion of the additional scientific work needed to evaluate current animal models of infection and evaluate potential animal VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:23 Feb 24, 2017 Jkt 241001 models that may predict response in humans could advance the development of antibacterial drugs targeting a single species. FDA is particularly interested in infections due to Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as pathogens because there are limited therapeutic options to treat patients with serious infections caused by these bacteria, including those resistant to currently available antibacterial drugs. In addition, it is difficult to enroll an adequate number of patients to conduct clinical trials since the frequency with which these organisms cause clinical disease is sufficiently low. Discussions will focus on the current state of animal models of serious infections, lessons learned from the development efforts for past and current animal models of infection, and scientific challenges and future direction and next steps in animal model development. This public workshop is intended to provide information for and gain perspective from health care providers, other U.S. Government Agencies, academic experts, contract research organizations, and industry on various aspects of development efforts pertaining to animal models of serious infections. The input from this public workshop will also help FDA in developing topics for future discussion. The Agency encourages health care providers, other U.S. Government Agencies, academic experts, contract research organizations, industry, and other interested persons to attend this public workshop. Registration: Interested parties are encouraged to register early. To register electronically, email registration information (including name, title, firm name, address, telephone, and fax number) to AnimalModelsInfection Workshop2017@fda.hhs.gov.
