[FR Doc. 2017–27165 Filed 12–15–17; 8:45 am] DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Disease Control and Prevention The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announces an opportunity for commercial manufacturers to work with CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD) on the validation of pertussis serological kits prior to submission to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing authorization. CDC is interested in the development of an assay that is an Immunoglobulin G (IgG) anti-pertussis toxin (PT) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), calibrated to an international reference standard (such as FDA Reference Standard Lot #3, World Health Organization (WHO) International Standard 06/140, or equivalents). The ELISA will be used for in vitro serological diagnosis of pertussis in clinical cases of selected age groups. CDC will be able to provide guidance, materials, and evaluation support for the manufacturer; however, the manufacturer will be responsible for submitting a premarket submission to FDA with adequate information, including any analytical or clinical data needed to support the submission, to demonstrate to FDA that FDA can grant marketing authorization to the product. DATES: CDC is accepting information through June 18, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD), Division of Bacterial Diseases (DBD), Meningitis and Vaccine Preventable Diseases Branch (MVPDB) has lead technical responsibility for research, development and evaluation of diagnostic assays for their application in epidemiologic studies of pertussis. CDC uses epidemiologic, laboratory, clinical, and biostatistical sciences to control and prevent bacterial infectious disease such as pertussis. CDC also conducts applied research in a variety of settings, and translates the findings of this research into public health practice. CDC is working closely with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) to consider including serology as an appropriate diagnostic tool for confirming a pertussis case. Serology can be very useful for diagnosing pertussis in adolescents and adults during the later phases of disease when the current accepted diagnostic methods, culture and PCR, are no longer reliable. Sensitive and specific quantitative seroassays have been developed and are routinely used for diagnosis of pertussis world-wide; however, FDA marketing authorization is necessary before these seroassays can be made commercially available as in vitro diagnostics in the United States. To date, no quantitative pertussis serology kits are commercially available in the United States for diagnostic use. Interested manufacturers that may have candidate products are invited to contact CDC to discuss potential opportunities for collaboration. At a minimum, discussions with CDC should include the following information for each candidate product: a. Product package insert or detailed instructions for use. E:\FR\FM\18DEN1.SGM 18DEN1
