ACTION: Notice of public meeting. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is announcing a public meeting entitled ‘‘Evaluating Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria in Clinical Trials.’’ Convened by the Duke-Robert J. Margolis, MD, Center for Health Policy at Duke University and supported by a cooperative agreement with FDA, the purpose of the public meeting is to bring the stakeholder community together to discuss a variety of topics related to eligibility criteria in clinical trials and their potential impact on patient access to investigational drugs, and how to facilitate the enrollment of a diverse patient population. DATES: The public meeting will be held on April 16, 2018, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for registration date and information. ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be held at the National Press Club, 529 14th St. NW, Washington, DC 20045.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background This public meeting implements FDA’s mandate under section 610 of the FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017 to convene a public meeting to discuss clinical trial inclusion and exclusion criteria that will ultimately inform an FDA guidance on this subject. Among other things, the public meeting will include discussion about various ways in which participation in clinical trials can be improved, including through alternative trial designs and expanded access trials (see Section II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Meeting). Inclusion of relevant subpopulations in drug development programs helps ensure that approved products will be safe and effective for the population likely to be treated when the drug is marketed. However, certain eligibility criteria in clinical trials can exclude patient subgroups, resulting in the enrollment of study populations that may not be fully representative of that broader patient population. FDA has and will continue its efforts to encourage greater diversity in clinical trial populations. For example, FDA regulations require marketing applications to provide analyses of safety and effectiveness by demographic and other relevant subgroups (see 21 CFR 314.50(d)(5)(v)). In addition, in 2016, FDA published guidance on the collection of race and ethnicity data in clinical trials (available on FDA’s guidance web page at https:// www.fda.gov/downloads/ E:\FR\FM\30JAN1.SGM 30JAN1
