SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Treatment for Heart Failure: Endpoints for Drug Development.’’ Heart failure causes substantial mortality and morbidity and has major effects on physical function and quality of life. This draft guidance clarifies that an effect on symptoms or physical function, without a favorable effect on survival or hospitalization, can be a basis for approving drugs to treat heart failure. It also provides recommendations to sponsors on the need to assess mortality effects of drugs under development to treat heart failure. This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on ‘‘Treatment for Heart Failure: Endpoints for Drug Development.’’ 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. khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES II.
