SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 41
CFR 102–3, FDA is announcing the
renewal of the Cardiovascular and Renal
Drugs Advisory Committee (Committee).
The Committee is a discretionary
Federal advisory committee established
to provide advice to the Commissioner
or designee in discharging
responsibilities as they relate to helping
to ensure safe and effective drugs for
human use and, as required, any other
product for which FDA has regulatory
responsibility.
The Committee reviews and evaluates
available data concerning the safety and
effectiveness of marketed and
investigational human drug products for
use in the treatment of cardiovascular
and renal disorders and makes
appropriate recommendations to the
Commissioner of Food and Drugs.
Under its Charter, the Committee
shall consist of a core of 11 voting
members including the Chair. Members
and the Chair are selected by the
Commissioner or designee from among
authorities knowledgeable in the fields
of cardiology, hypertension, arrhythmia,
angina, congestive heart failure,
diuresis, and biostatistics. Members will
be invited to serve for overlapping terms
of up to 4 years. Almost all non-Federal
members of this committee serve as
Special Government Employees. Federal
members will serve as Regular
Government Employees or Ex-Officios.
The core of voting members may
include one technically qualified
member, selected by the Commissioner
or designee, who is identified with
consumer interests and is recommended
by either a consortium of consumeroriented organizations or other
interested persons. In addition to the
voting members, the Committee may
include one non-voting member who is
identified with industry interests. There
may also be alternate industry
representative.

SUMMARY:
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is correcting a
notice that appeared in the Federal
Register on July 21, 2020. The
document announced the withdrawal of
approval of 10 abbreviated new drug
applications (ANDAs) from multiple
applicants, withdrawn as of August 20,
2020. The document indicated that FDA
was withdrawing approval of the
following two ANDAs after receiving a
withdrawal request from Kadmon
Pharmaceuticals, LLC., 119
Commonwealth Dr., Warrendale, PA
15086: ANDA 076203, Ribavirin
Capsules, 200 milligrams (mg) and
ANDA 077456, Ribavirin Tablets, 200
mg, 400 mg, and 600 mg. Before FDA
withdrew the approval of these ANDAs,
Kadmon Pharmaceuticals, LLC.
informed FDA that it did not want the
approval of the ANDAs withdrawn.
Because Kadmon Pharmaceuticals,
LLC., timely requested that approval of
these ANDAs not be withdrawn, the
approval of ANDAs 076203 and 077456
are still in effect.

‘‘Blood Glucose Monitoring Test

On November 30, 2018, FDA
published a notice of availability in the
Federal Register (83 FR 61648) of a draft
guidance that proposed revisions to the
guidance. FDA proposed modifications
based on feedback received from
stakeholders and to better align with the
evolving understanding and
development of these types of devices.
FDA considered comments received
on the draft guidance and made
revisions as appropriate in response to
the comments, including a minor edit
encouraging manufacturers to consider
design features that will aid in user
accessibility and a technical edit in
hemoglobin testing concentration. This
revised guidance replaces the existing
final guidance of the same title issued
on October 11, 2016.
This guidance is being issued
consistent with FDA’s good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115).
This guidance represents the current
thinking of FDA on ‘‘Blood Glucose
Monitoring Test Systems for
Prescription Point-of-Care Use.’’ 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.
