SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Renal Cell Carcinoma: Developing Drugs and Biologics for Adjuvant Treatment.’’ This draft guidance provides recommendations to sponsors regarding the development of drugs regulated by CDER and CBER for the adjuvant treatment of renal cell carcinoma. The draft guidance includes recommendations regarding eligibility criteria, choice of comparator, followup imaging assessments, determination of disease recurrence, analyses of diseasefree survival (DFS), and interpretation of trial results. Although FDA may consider endpoints other than DFS for the adjuvant treatment of renal cell carcinoma, this guidance is focused on clinical trials with DFS as the primary efficacy endpoint. Adjuvant renal cell carcinoma clinical trials are an active area of research. There is significant variability in the design, conduct, and analysis of these trials, including the eligibility criteria, radiological disease assessments, the definition of disease recurrence, and the date used to define the DFS endpoint in these trials. Consistency in these aspects within and across trials may facilitate interpretation of trial results. These issues were discussed at an FDANational Cancer Institute public workshop held on November 28, 2017. This draft guidance provides recommendations on these issues to facilitate adjuvant renal cell carcinoma clinical trials. This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on ‘‘Renal Cell Carcinoma: Developing Drugs and Biologics for Adjuvant Treatment.’’ 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 Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 This draft guidance refers to previously approved FDA collections of information. These collections of information are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521). The collections of information in 21 CFR part 312 have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0014; the PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 62311 collections of information in 21 CFR part 314 have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0001; and the collections of information in 21 CFR part 601 have been approved under 0910–0338.
