Background Office of the Secretary FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Setting Endotoxin Limits During Development of Investigational Oncology Drugs and Biological Products.’’ When finalized, this guidance will describe FDA’s current recommendations about endotoxin limits in investigational oncology drugs and biological products. It looks at a risk-based approach of weighing the potential risks of not evaluating endotoxin levels in all components of a multidrug regimen against the potential benefits to patients with serious and life-threatening diseases. It is limited to anticancer drugs administered parenterally (except for intraocular administration) to treat serious and lifethreatening cancers based on histology or stage of disease. This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on ‘‘Setting Endotoxin Limits During Development of Investigational Oncology Drugs and Biological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. II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 This draft guidance refers to previously approved collections of information that are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction PO 00000 Frm 00071 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 III.
