SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a draft document entitled ‘‘Expedited Programs for Regenerative Medicine Therapies for Serious Conditions; Draft Guidance for Industry.’’ The draft guidance document describes the expedited programs available to sponsors of regenerative medicine therapies for serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions (referred to in the draft guidance as serious conditions), including those products designated as RMATs; provides information about the provisions in the 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act) (Pub. L. 114–225) regarding the use of the accelerated approval pathway for regenerative medicine therapies that have been granted designation as an RMAT; describes how CBER will encourage flexibility in clinical trial design to facilitate the VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:32 Nov 16, 2017 Jkt 244001 development of data to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of regenerative medicine therapies that are being developed to address unmet needs in patients with serious conditions; and describes the opportunities for sponsors of regenerative medicine therapies to interact with CBER review staff. The draft guidance document addresses regenerative medicine therapies, which are defined in section 506(g)(8) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act), as amended by the Cures Act, as including cell therapies, therapeutic tissue engineering products, human cell and tissue products, and combination products using any such therapies or products, except for those regulated solely under section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 264) and 21 CFR part 1271. Gene therapies, including genetically modified cells, that lead to a durable modification of cells or tissues can meet the definition of a regenerative medicine therapy. Under section 506(g) of the FD&C Act, RMAT designation is available for a drug (i.e., a human drug, including a drug that is a biological product) that meets the definition of regenerative medicine therapy; is intended to treat, modify, reverse, or cure a serious or life-threatening disease or condition; and with respect to which preliminary clinical evidence indicates the potential to address unmet medical needs for such disease or condition. A combination product (biologic-device, biologic-drug, or biologic-device-drug) can be eligible for RMAT designation when the biological product provides the greatest contribution to the overall intended therapeutic effects of the combination product (i.e., the primary mode of action in the combination product is conveyed by the biological product component). Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is announcing the availability of a document entitled ‘‘Evaluation of Devices Used with Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapies; Draft Guidance for Industry.’’ This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on ‘‘Expedited Programs for Regenerative Medicine Therapies for Serious Conditions; Draft Guidance for Industry.’’ 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. This guidance is not subject to Executive Order 12866.

These collections of information are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). The collections of information in 21 CFR part 312 have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0014; the collections of information regarding formal meetings in ‘‘Guidance for Formal Meetings Between the FDA and Sponsors or Applicants of PDUFA Products’’ have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0429; the collections of information in 21 CFR part 601 have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0338; the collections of information for expedited programs in ‘‘Guidance for Industry: Expedited Programs for Serious Conditions—Drugs and Biologics,’’ have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0765; the collections of information in 21 CFR part 314 have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0001.
