To prevent transmission of disease when manufacturing ACTPs, it is necessary to determine that donors are healthy and free from relevant disease agents. Transmission of relevant disease agents by an ACTP may be the result of the presence of relevant disease agents in the donated cells/tissues (either within the cells/tissues, within other accompanying cells/tissues, or in the extracellular components of the product). The CGMP requirements for new animal drugs are found in Title 21 parts 210 and 211 of the Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR parts 210 and 211). These regulations are broad in scope, and FDA recognizes that they do not specifically or fully address some aspects of the manufacture of ACTPs, including donor eligibility determinations. This guidance offers FDA’s recommendations for determining that a donor is free from relevant disease agents and is an eligible source of cells, tissues, or both, used in the manufacture of allogeneic or xenogeneic ACTPs. We encourage sponsors and manufacturers of ACTPs to contact CVM early in the product development process to discuss considerations specific to approval of a new animal drug product. This level 1 draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on donor eligibility for animal cells, tissues, and cell- and tissue-based products.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 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 (PRA) (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 514 have VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:19 Sep 22, 2021 Jkt 253001 been approved under OMB control number 0910–0032. III.
