Intent To Review an Analysis Data Reviewer's Guide; Notice of Availability, Request for Comments, 51847-51848 [2017-24237]

Download as PDF 51847 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 215 / Wednesday, November 8, 2017 / Notices designation and provides examples of surrogate endpoints and intermediate clinical endpoints used to support accelerated approval. The information collection resulting from requests for priority review designation and breakthrough therapy designation is set forth in rows 1 and 2 of table 1 and is approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under control number 0910–0765. The information collection resulting from requests for accelerated approval is approved by OMB under control numbers 0910–0001 and 0910–0338. The provisions of the guidance relating to fast track development and other issues such as serious condition and unmet medical need replace the guidance entitled ‘‘Fast Track Drug Development Programs—Designation, Development, and Application Review.’’ Consequently, the information collection resulting from the guidance ‘‘Fast Track Drug Development Programs—Designation, Development, and Application Review’’ (OMB control number 0910–0389) is now being incorporated into OMB control number 0910–0765 (guidance for industry ‘‘Expedited Programs for Serious Conditions—Drugs and Biologics’’). A sponsor or applicant who seeks fast track designation is required to submit a request to the Agency showing that the drug product: (1) Is intended for a serious or life-threatening condition and (2) has the potential to address an unmet medical need. The Agency expects that most information to support a designation request will have been gathered under existing requirements for preparing an investigational new drug (IND), new drug application (NDA), or biologic license application (BLA). If such information has already been submitted to the Agency, the information may be summarized in the fast track designation request. A designation request should include, where applicable, additional information not specified elsewhere by statute or regulation. For example, additional information may be needed to show that a product has the potential to address an unmet medical need where an approved therapy exists for the serious or life-threatening condition to be treated. Such information may include clinical data, published reports, summaries of data and reports, and a list of references. The amount of information and discussion in a designation request need not be voluminous, but it should be sufficient to permit a reviewer to assess whether the criteria for fast track designation have been met. After the Agency makes a fast track designation, a sponsor or applicant may submit a premeeting package that may include additional information supporting a request to participate in certain fast track programs. The premeeting package serves as background information for the meeting and should support the intended objectives of the meeting. As with the request for fast track designation, the Agency expects that most sponsors or applicants will have gathered such information to meet existing requirements for preparing an IND, NDA, or BLA. These may include descriptions of clinical safety and efficacy trials not conducted under an IND (e.g., foreign studies) and information to support a request for accelerated approval. If such information has already been submitted to FDA, the information may be summarized in the premeeting package. The Agency estimates the total annual number of respondents submitting requests for fast track designation is approximately 140, and the number of requests received is approximately 187 annually. FDA estimates that the number of hours needed to prepare a request for fast track designation is approximately 60 hours per request (row 3 in table 1). Of the requests for fast track designation made per year, the Agency granted approximately 132 requests from 107 respondents, and for each of these granted requests, a premeeting package was submitted to the Agency. FDA estimates that the preparation hours are approximately 100 hours per premeeting package (row 4 in table 1). The guidance also refers to previously approved collections of information found in FDA regulations. The collections of information in 21 CFR 202.1 and 21 CFR parts 314, and 601, and sections 505(a), 506(a)(1), 735, and 736 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(a), 356(a)(1), 379(g), and 379(h)) have been approved under OMB control numbers 0910–0686, 0910–0001, 0910–0338, 0910–0014, and 0910–0297. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Guidance for Industry: Expedited Programs for Serious Conditions—Drugs and Biologics Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Average burden per response Total annual responses Total hours Priority review designation request ......................................

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    FDA is a participating member of PhUSE, an independent, non-profit 
consortium of academic, regulatory, non-profit, and private sector 
entities. PhUSE provides a global platform for the discussion of topics 
encompassing the work of biostatisticians, data managers, statistical 
programmers, and e-clinical information technology professionals, with 
the mission of providing an open, transparent, and collaborative forum 
to address computational science issues. As part of this collaboration, 
PhUSE working groups develop and periodically publish proposals for 
enhancing the review and analysis of human and animal study data 
submitted to regulatory agencies. You can learn more about PhUSE 
working groups at https://www.phuse.eu/cs-working-groups.aspx. (FDA has 
verified the Web site addresses as of the date this document publishes 
in the Federal Register, but Web sites are subject to change over 
time.)
    In December 2014, FDA published the Study Data Technical 
Conformance Guide (the Guide, available at https://www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/DataStandards/StudyDataStandards/default.htm), which 
contains technical recommendations to sponsors for the submission of 
animal and human study data and related information in a standardized 
electronic format. In section 2.3 of the Guide, FDA recommends that 
sponsors should include a plan (e.g., in the New Drug Application 
(NDA)) describing the submission of standardized study data to FDA. The 
FDA's Analysis Data Resources Web page provides recommendations for 
preparing an ADRG.
    FDA now intends to review the PhUSE ADRG template, a deliverable of 
the working group effort described previously in this document, with 
the potential result that FDA could recommend the use of the template 
in its current form, or in a modified form, for use in the regulatory 
submission of study data in conformance with the Guide. FDA invites 
public comment on all matters regarding the use of the PhUSE ADRG 
template.

II. Electronic Access

    The PhUSE ADRG template is available at: https://www.phusewiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Analysis_Data_Reviewer%27s_Guide.
