SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ‘‘IND Submissions for Individualized Antisense Oligonucleotide Drug Products: Administrative and Procedural Recommendations.’’ This draft guidance is intended to help sponsors developing individualized ASO drug products for a severely debilitating or life-threatening genetic disease. The draft guidance addresses the approach for obtaining feedback from FDA, the expectations and process for making regulatory submissions to FDA, and high-level recommendations related to the requirement for institutional review board review of protocols for trials of individualized ASO drug products and the informed consent of participants. The draft guidance discusses the importance of early interaction with FDA, submission expectations for pre-investigational new drug (IND) meeting packages and IND applications, and ethical and human subject protection considerations. The draft guidance is intended to help sponsors of such development programs, who may be relatively unfamiliar with FDA regulations, processes, and practices, seek feedback from FDA on their development programs and make regulatory submissions related to these development programs. The draft guidance is expected to facilitate the preparation of adequate pre-IND and IND submissions for review by the Agency, which may help enable prompt initiation of the investigation. This draft guidance represents the first of several guidances FDA intends to publish to advise and help sponsors developing individualized ASO drug products for patients who have severely debilitating or life-threatening diseases or conditions and no adequate alternative therapy available to them to treat their disease or condition. This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on ‘‘IND Submissions for Individualized Antisense Oligonucleotide Drug Products: Administrative and Procedural Recommendations.’’ It does VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:09 Jan 04, 2021 Jkt 253001 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 While this guidance contains no collection of information, it does refer to previously approved FDA collections of information. Therefore, clearance by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521) is not required for this guidance. The previously approved collections of information are subject to review by OMB under the PRA. The collections of information in 21 CFR part 312 for the submission of IND applications, amendments, and safety reports; for investigator brochures; and for requesting a pre-IND meeting have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0014; the collections of information for paper submissions of Form FDA 3500A have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0291; the collections of information for electronic submissions of Form FDA 3500 have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0645; the collections of information in 21 CFR parts 50 and 56 for obtaining informed consent for prospective patients have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0755.
