Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 187 / Thursday, September 30, 2021 / Notices use of RWE to: (1) Help to support the approval of a new indication for a drug approved under section 505(c) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 355(c)); and (2) help to support or satisfy postapproval study requirements. This section also requires that FDA use the program to inform guidance for industry on the circumstances under which sponsors of drugs may rely on RWE and the appropriate standards and methodologies for the collection and analysis of RWE submitted to evaluate the potential use of RWE for those purposes. Further, under the Prescription Drug User Fee Amendments of 2017 (PDUFA VI), FDA committed to the goal of publishing draft guidance on how RWE can contribute to the assessment of safety and effectiveness in regulatory submissions. FDA is issuing the draft guidance as part of a series of guidance documents to satisfy the Cures Act mandate and the PDUFA VI goal. The RWE Program will cover clinical studies that use realworld data sources, such as information from routine clinical practice, to derive RWE. This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on ‘‘Real-World Data: Assessing Electronic Health Records and Medical Claims Data to Support Regulatory Decision-Making for Drug 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. LOTTER on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 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.
