SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
FDA is announcing the availability of
a draft guidance for industry entitled
‘‘Transdermal and Topical Delivery
Systems—Product Development and
Quality Considerations.’’ Transdermal
delivery systems and topical delivery
systems, collectively identified as TDS,
are used in a variety of therapeutic areas
and treatment populations. Transdermal
delivery systems are designed to deliver
an active ingredient (drug substance)
across the skin and into systemic
circulation, while topical delivery
systems are designed to deliver the
active ingredient to local tissue. Both
PO 00000
Frm 00060
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
transdermal delivery systems and
topical delivery systems present similar
manufacturing and quality control
concerns and similar risks to patients.
The draft guidance in its entirety may
not be applicable to all TDS, and some
TDS (for example, microneedles, active
transport TDS, reservoir TDS, and TDS
applied to broken skin) have other
considerations that are not addressed in
this guidance. Because of the inherent
failure modes and safety risks associated
with the reservoir TDS, FDA
recommends TDS manufacturers and
applicants focus development efforts on
matrix type TDS.
This draft guidance is being issued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The draft guidance, when finalized, will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 transdermal and topical delivery
systems product development and
quality considerations. 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.
II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This draft guidance refers to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
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). The
collections of information in 21 CFR
parts 210 and 211 have been approved
under OMB control number 0910–0139.
The collections of information in 21
CFR part 314 for the submission of
NDAs and ANDAs, including the
submission of labeling under 21 CFR
314.50(e)(2)(ii) and 314.50(l)(1)(i) and
advertisements and promotional
labeling under 21 CFR 314.81(b)(3)(i),
have been approved under OMB control
number 0910–0001. The submission of
prescription drug labeling under 21 CFR
201.56 and 201.57 has been approved
under OMB control number 0910–0572.
In accordance with the PRA, prior to
publication of any final guidance
document, FDA intends to solicit public
comment and obtain OMB approval for
any information collections
recommended in this guidance that are
new or that would represent material
modifications to those previously
approved collections of information
found in FDA regulations or guidances.

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 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
The collections of information in 21 CFR parts 210 and 211 have been
approved under OMB control number 0910-0139. The collections of
information in 21 CFR part 314 for the submission of NDAs and ANDAs,
including the submission of labeling under 21 CFR 314.50(e)(2)(ii) and
314.50(l)(1)(i) and advertisements and promotional labeling under 21
CFR 314.81(b)(3)(i), have been approved under OMB control number 0910-
0001. The submission of prescription drug labeling under 21 CFR 201.56

In accordance with the PRA, prior to publication of any final

approval for any information collections recommended in this guidance
that are new or that would represent material modifications to those
previously approved collections of information found in FDA regulations
or guidances.
