Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls Changes to an Approved Application: Certain Biological Products; Draft Guidance for Industry; Availability, 60750-60752 [2017-27589]

Download as PDF 60750 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 245 / Friday, December 22, 2017 / Notices sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES organizations, disease advocacy organizations, voluntary health agencies, nonprofit research foundations, and public health organizations. The ultimate goal of the nomination and selection process is to identify individuals who can represent a collective patient voice for their patient community. Selection criteria include the nominee’s potential to meaningfully contribute to the activities of the PEC, ability to represent and express the patient voice for his or her constituency, ability to work in a constructive manner with involved stakeholders, and understanding of the clinical research enterprise. Consideration will also be given to ensuring the PEC includes diverse perspectives and experiences, including but not limited to, sociodemographic and disease experience diversity. It is anticipated that approximately half of the PEC membership will be selected from eligible CTTI member organizations and individuals, and half will be selected from other nominees. Members are required to be citizens and residents of the United States. Financial and other conflicts of interest will not necessarily make nominees ineligible for membership in the PEC. However, nominees cannot be direct employees of the medical product development industry. III. Responsibilities and Expectations Meetings of the PEC will typically be held four times per year, either inperson (in the Washington, DC area) or by webinar, and additional meetings may be organized as needed. Accommodations will be made for members with special needs for travel or for participation in a meeting (e.g., accommodations for physical mobility impairments, dietary restrictions, etc.). Nominations for PEC membership are encouraged for individuals of all racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, and cultural groups with and without disabilities. Travel support will be provided. To help ensure continuity in its activities and organizational knowledge, the PEC will maintain staggered membership terms for patient community representatives. Membership terms are anticipated as 1to 2-year appointments, and will be determined during the process of selecting members. Members may serve up to two terms, with the possibility of extensions. Additional responsibilities and expectations are set forth in the Patient Engagement Collaborative Framework, which should be reviewed prior to submitting a nomination. The full text VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:59 Dec 21, 2017 Jkt 244001 of the Patient Engagement Collaborative Framework is available at https:// www.ctti-clinicaltrials.org/frameworkcttifda-patient-engagementcollaborative. IV. Nomination Process DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Food and Drug Administration [Docket No. FDA–1995–D–0288 (Formerly Docket No. 95D–0052)] Any interested person may nominate one or more qualified individuals for membership on the PEC. Selfnominations are also accepted. Nominations should include the following: (1) A personal statement (maximum 800 words) from the nominee explaining his or her interest in becoming a member of the PEC; (2) a current, complete curriculum vitae or resume that shows relevant activities and experience; and (3) an optional letter of endorsement (maximum 800 words) from a patient group with which the nominee has worked closely on activities relevant to the PEC. The personal statement and optional letter of endorsement (if provided) should emphasize information relevant to the criteria for membership described above. The letter may address topics such as the nominee’s involvement in patient advocacy activities, experiences that stimulated an interest in participating in discussions about patient engagement in medical product development and regulatory decisionmaking, and other information that may be helpful in evaluating the nominee’s qualifications as a potential member of the PEC. Nominations must provide the nominee’s contact information (phone and email preferred), as well as state that the nominee is aware of the nomination (unless self-nominated) and is willing to serve as a member of the PEC. Additional information may be needed from nominees, including information relevant to understanding potential sources of conflict of interest, in which case nominees will be contacted directly.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft document entitled 
``Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls Changes to an Approved 
Application: Certain Biological Products; Draft Guidance for 
Industry.'' The draft guidance, when finalized, is intended to assist 
applicants and manufacturers of licensed biological products in 
determining which reporting category is appropriate for a change in CMC 
to an approved BLA as specified in 21 CFR 601.12. The draft guidance 
provides applicants and manufacturers general and administrative 
information on reporting and evaluating changes and recommendations for 
reporting categories based on a tiered-reporting system for specific 
changes under Sec.  601.12.
    FDA issued the July 1997 guidance (62 FR 39904; July 24, 1997) to 
assist applicants in determining which reporting mechanism is 
appropriate for reporting a change to an approved application to reduce 
the burden on manufacturers when reporting changes and to facilitate 
the approval process of the change being made. We are updating the July 
1997 guidance to accommodate advances in manufacturing and testing 
technology and to clarify the FDA's current thinking on assessing 
reportable changes. The updated guidance applies to certain biological 
products licensed under the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), 
including in vitro diagnostics licensed under BLAs. This draft guidance 
applies to all manufacturing locations, including contract locations. 
The following biological products are not within the scope of this 
guidance: Whole blood, blood components, source plasma, and source 
leukocytes. This draft guidance also does not apply to human cells, 
tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products regulated solely under 
section 361 of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 264), as described in 21 CFR part 
1271; specified biotechnology and specified synthetic biological 
products; and biosimilar biological products subject to licensure under 
section 351(k) of the PHS Act. The draft guidance, when finalized, is 
intended to supersede the July 1997 guidance.
    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 ``Chemistry, 
Manufacturing, and Controls Changes to an Approved Application: Certain 
Biological Products.'' 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.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This draft guidance also refers to previously approved collections 
of information found in FDA regulations. 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 210 and

[[Page 60752]]

21 CFR part 211 have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0139; 
the collections of information in 21 CFR 601.12 have been approved 
under OMB control numbers 0910-0338, and the collections of information 
in 21 CFR part 820 have been approved under OMB control number 0910-
0073.
