the exemption to permit the clinical
investigations of the drug becomes
effective and runs until the approval
phase begins. The approval phase starts
with the initial submission of an
application to market the human drug
product and continues until FDA grants
permission to market the drug product.
Although only a portion of a regulatory
review period may count toward the
actual amount of extension that the
Director of USPTO may award (for
example, half the testing phase must be
subtracted as well as any time that may
have occurred before the patent was
issued), FDA’s determination of the
length of a regulatory review period for
a human drug product will include all
of the testing phase and approval phase
as specified in 35 U.S.C. 156(g)(1)(B).
FDA has approved for marketing the
human drug product DOJOLVI
(triheptanoin). DOJOLVI is indicated as
a source of calories and fatty acids for
the treatment of pediatric and adult
patients with molecularly confirmed
long-chain fatty acid oxidation
disorders. Subsequent to this approval,
the USPTO received patent term
restoration applications for DOJOLVI
(U.S. Patent Nos. 8,697,748 and
9,186,344) from Ultragenyx
Pharmaceutical Inc., and the USPTO
requested FDA’s assistance in
determining the patents’ eligibility for
patent term restoration. In a letter dated
December 14, 2020, FDA advised the
USPTO that this human drug product
had undergone a regulatory review
period and that the approval of
DOJOLVI represented the first permitted
commercial marketing or use of the
product. Thereafter, the USPTO
requested that FDA determine the
product’s regulatory review period.
II. Determination of Regulatory Review
Period
FDA has determined that the
applicable regulatory review period for
DOJOLVI is 2,511 days. Of this time,
2,175 days occurred during the testing
phase of the regulatory review period,
while 336 days occurred during the
approval phase. These periods of time
were derived from the following dates:
1. The date an exemption under
section 505(i) of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C.
355(i)) became effective: August 17,
2013. FDA has verified the applicant’s
claims that the date the investigational
new drug application became effective
was on August 17, 2013.
2. The date the application was
initially submitted with respect to the
human drug product under section 505
of the FD&C Act: July 31, 2019. FDA has
verified the applicant’s claims that the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:00 Nov 08, 2021
Jkt 256001
new drug application (NDA) for
DOJOLVI (NDA 213687) was initially
submitted on July 31, 2019.
3. The date the application was
approved: June 30, 2020. FDA has
verified the applicant’s claims that NDA
213687 was approved on June 30, 2020.
This determination of the regulatory
review period establishes the maximum
potential length of a patent extension.
However, the USPTO applies several
statutory limitations in its calculations
of the actual period for patent extension.
In its applications for patent extension,
this applicant seeks 1,012 days or 1,303
days of patent term extension.
III. Petitions
Anyone with knowledge that any of
the dates as published are incorrect may
submit either electronic or written
comments and, under 21 CFR 60.24, ask
for a redetermination (see DATES).
Furthermore, as specified in § 60.30 (21
CFR 60.30), any interested person may
petition FDA for a determination
regarding whether the applicant for
extension acted with due diligence
during the regulatory review period. To
meet its burden, the petition must
comply with all the requirements of
§ 60.30, including but not limited to:
Must be timely (see DATES), must be
filed in accordance with § 10.20, must
contain sufficient facts to merit an FDA
investigation, and must certify that a
true and complete copy of the petition
has been served upon the patent
applicant. (See H. Rept. 857, part 1, 98th
Cong., 2d sess., pp. 41–42, 1984.)
Petitions should be in the format
specified in 21 CFR 10.30.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In the Federal Register of June 11,
2010 (75 FR 33311), FDA announced the
availability of a guidance for industry
entitled ‘‘Bioequivalence
Recommendations for Specific
Products’’ that explained the process
that would be used to make productspecific guidances available to the
public on FDA’s website at https://
www.fda.gov/drugs/guidancecompliance-regulatory-information/
guidances-drugs.
As described in that guidance, FDA
adopted this process as a means to
develop and disseminate productspecific guidances and provide a
meaningful opportunity for the public to
consider and comment on those
guidances. Under that process, draft
guidances are posted on FDA’s website
and announced periodically in the
Federal Register. The public is
encouraged to submit comments on
those recommendations within 60 days
of their announcement in the Federal
Register. FDA considers any comments
received and either publishes final
guidances or publishes revised draft
guidances for comment. Guidances were
last announced in the Federal Register
on August 23, 2021 (86 FR 47112). This
notice announces draft product-specific
guidances, either new or revised, that
are posted on FDA’s website.

MedWatch: The FDA Medical Products
Reporting Program
OMB Control Number 0910–0291—
Extension
This information collection supports
FDA laws and regulations governing
adverse event reports and product
experience reports for FDA-regulated
products. The Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C.
353b, 355, 360i, 360l, 379aa, and 393)
and the Public Health Service Act (42
U.S.C. 262) authorize FDA to collect
adverse event reports and product
experience reports from regulated
industry and to monitor the safety of
drugs, biologics, medical devices, and
dietary supplements. These reporting
and recordkeeping requirements are
found in FDA regulations, discussed in
Agency guidance, and included in
Agency forms. Although there are no
laws or regulations mandating
postmarket reporting for medical foods,
infant formula, cosmetics, or tobacco
products, we encourage voluntary
reporting of adverse experiences
associated with these products.
To facilitate both consumer and
industry reporting of adverse events and
experiences with FDA-regulated
products, we developed the MedWatch
program. The MedWatch program
allows anyone to submit reports to FDA
on adverse events, including injuries
and/or deaths, as well as other product
experiences associated with the
products we regulate. While the
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
MedWatch program provides for both
paper-based and electronic reporting,
this information collection covers
paper-based reporting using Forms FDA
3500, 3500A, and 3500B, available from
our website at https://www.fda.gov/
safety/medical-product-safetyinformation/medwatch-forms-fdasafety-reporting. Requirements
regarding mandatory reporting of
adverse events or product problems
have been codified in parts 310, 314,
329, 600, and 803 (21 CFR 310, 314,
600, and 803), and specified in sections
503B, 760, and 761 of the FD&C Act (21
U.S.C. 353b, 379aa, and 379aa–1).
Mandatory reporting of adverse events
for human cells, tissues, and cellularand tissue-based products (HCT/Ps)
have been codified in § 1271.350 (21
CFR 1271.350). Other postmarketing
reporting associated with requirements
found in sections 201, 502, 505, and 701
(21 U.S.C. 321, 352, 355, and 371) of the
FD&C Act and applicable to certain drug
products with and without approved
applications are approved under OMB
control number 0910–0230.
Since 1993, mandatory adverse event
reporting has been supplemented by
voluntary reporting by healthcare
professionals, patients, and consumers
via the MedWatch reporting process. To
carry out its responsibilities, the Agency
needs to be informed when an adverse
event, product problem, error with use
of a human medical product, or
evidence of therapeutic failure is
suspected or identified in clinical use.
When FDA receives this information
from healthcare professionals, patients,
or consumers, the report becomes data
that will be used to assess and evaluate
the risk associated with the product.
FDA will take any necessary action to
reduce, mitigate, or eliminate the
public’s exposure to the risk through
regulatory and public health
interventions.
To implement these reporting
provisions for FDA-regulated products
(except vaccines) during their postapproval and marketed lifetimes, we
developed the following three forms,
available for download from our website
or upon request to the Agency: (1) Form
FDA 3500 may be used for voluntary
(i.e., not mandated by law or regulation)
reporting by healthcare professionals;
(2) Form FDA 3500A is used for
mandatory reporting (i.e., required by
law or regulation); and (3) Form FDA
3500B, available in English and
Spanish, is written in plain language
and may be used for voluntary reporting
(i.e., not mandated by law or regulation)
by consumers (i.e., patients and their
caregivers). Respondents to the
information collection are healthcare

related to product-specific guidances, go to https://www.regulations.gov and enter Docket No. FDA-2007-D-0369.
These draft guidances are being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). These draft guidances,
when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on, among
other things, the product-specific design of BE studies to support
ANDAs. They do not establish any rights for any person and are not
binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternative approach if it
satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.
IV. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
FDA tentatively concludes that these draft guidances contain no
collection of information. Therefore, clearance by the Office of
Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 is not
required.
V. Electronic Access
Persons with access to the internet may obtain the draft guidance
at https://www.fda.gov/drugs/guidance-compliance-regulatory-information/guidances-drugs, https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents, or https://www.regulations.gov.
