SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a final guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Enrichment Strategies for Clinical Trials to Support Demonstration of Effectiveness of Human Drugs and Biological Products.’’ This document provides guidance to industry on enrichment strategies that can be used in clinical trials intended to demonstrate effectiveness (and in some cases safety) of human drugs and biological products. This guidance finalizes the draft guidance entitled ‘‘Enrichment Strategies for Clinical Trials to Support Approval of Human Drugs and Biological Products’’ issued on December 17, 2012 (77 FR 74670). Changes made to the guidance took into consideration comments received related to discussions of study design and analysis, specific patient populations to be studied, and genomic strategy considerations. In addition, editorial changes were made, primarily, for clarification and elimination of redundancies. Although the draft guidance was issued by the Center for PO 00000 Frm 00060 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 9535 Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), and the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, upon consideration, the finalized guidance is being issued by CDER and CBER only because the topics covered pertain mostly to studies conducted for products regulated by these two centers. This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the current thinking of FDA on ‘‘Enrichment Strategies for Clinical Trials to Support Demonstration of Effectiveness of Human Drugs and 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 This guidance refers to previously approved collections of information that 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 parts 312 and 314 have been approved under OMB control numbers 0910–0014 and 0910– 0001, respectively, and the collection of information resulting from prescription drug product labeling is approved under OMB control number 0910–0572.
