monograph, approval of the application
and patient access to the drug were
delayed because the USP–NF standards
development processes did not accept
proposals from applicants requesting
changes to compendial standards for
products that were not currently
approved by FDA. If a monograph
needed to be revised to include the
applicant’s proposed specifications,
there were no mechanisms to do this
until after the application was
approved. For approval, the product
would have to be shown to meet the
current monograph, at least for identity,
and the product label would have to
indicate differences from the
monograph regarding strength, quality,
or purity. Typically, the revised
monograph would not become official
for 6 months or more. The USP–PMP
was created to address these issues.
Under the USP–PMP, applicants that
have successfully filed an NDA, ANDA,
NADA, or ANADA with FDA and are
awaiting review and approval can
propose revisions to an existing
monograph or can propose the
publication of a new monograph for an
article that is not currently part of the
official compendia. MF holders
referenced in a successfully filed NDA,
ANDA, NADA, or ANADA may also
propose revisions to an existing
monograph or propose publication of a
new monograph for their drug
substance. Immediately following FDA
approval of a specific NDA, ANDA,
NADA, or ANADA, USP will make
available a revised monograph (or new
monograph, as applicable) harmonized
with the application’s approved quality
specifications. This process results in
the creation of compendial standards
that are harmonized with the quality
specifications in an approved
application. (Note: Initiation of the
USP–PMP does not confer Agency
acceptability of the compendial
standards proposed for the product, nor
preclude full application evaluation by
the Agency; all applications will be
subject to complete evaluation using
current established review practices.)
This guidance details the Agency’s
expectations for applicants (and MF
holders referenced by applications
awaiting approval) who choose to use
the USP–PMP. The document explains
how applicants (and MF holders)
should initiate the process, provides
Agency recommendations, and
addresses some common situations that
may arise during use of the USP–PMP.
This draft guidance is being issued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The draft guidance, when finalized, will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

including 21 CFR 314.50, 314.94, and
314.420, have been approved under
OMB control number 0910–0001. The

21 CFR 514.1, 514.4, 514.5, 514.6, 514.8,
514.11, and 558.5 have been approved
under OMB control number 0910–0032.
The collections of information relating
to ANADAs in sections 512(b)(2) and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
I. Background
A live case presentation is a live or
pre-recorded broadcast of a surgical or
percutaneous procedure, typically
narrated by the operator (or a discussant
other than the operator), with or without
expert panel and/or audience
interaction. Our expectation is that very
few investigations under an IDE will
include live case presentations.
However, by increasing awareness of the
study for healthcare professionals and
eligible subjects, live case presentations
may lead to new therapies being made
available sooner.
This guidance is intended, in part, to
improve the quality of information
about live case presentations submitted
by sponsors as part of an investigational
plan in an original IDE application or
supplement to an IDE application, or to
the IRB for non-significant risk studies,
and to ensure consistency in the review
of those submissions. It describes
measures we recommend sponsors take
to ensure adequate human subject
protection, followup, reporting, and
data analysis for live case presentations.
FDA considered comments received
on the draft guidance that appeared in
the Federal Register of April 17, 2014
(79 FR 21776). FDA revised the
guidance as appropriate in response to
the comments.
II. Significance of Guidance
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 live case
presentations during IDE clinical trials.
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
FDA is announcing the availability of
a draft guidance for industry entitled
‘‘Using the Inactive Ingredient
Database.’’ Industry may use the
information in FDA’s IID to support the
safety of an excipient, which can affect
application filing and scientific review.
Inclusion in the IID is evidence that the
excipient has previously been used in
FDA-approved drug products. If an
excipient has been used in approved
drug products for a particular route of
administration, the excipient generally
is not considered new and may warrant
less extensive assessment the next time
it is included in a new drug product for
the same route of administration. This
information is useful to industry when
developing new drug products. The
draft guidance explains how to use the
IID in the development of drug
products.
The draft guidance explains the
meaning of terms used in the IID. It
describes the information users will find
in the IID for each excipient. It explains
the link between FDA’s Global
Substance Registration System and
nomenclature in the IID to facilitate
ingredient searches. The draft guidance
also clarifies terminology used in the
IID, such as ‘‘maximum potency,’’ how
that information is described for certain
dosage forms, and when potency
information is not provided.
