The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry (GFI) #273 entitled ‘‘Defining Durations of Use for Approved Medically Important Antimicrobial Drugs Fed to FoodProducing Animals.’’ This draft guidance document, when finalized, will provide recommendations on how sponsors may voluntarily establish defined durations of use for certain antimicrobial new animal drugs used in or on the medicated feed of foodproducing animals that are currently approved with one or more indications that lack a defined duration of use. Establishing defined durations of use within the approved new animal drug applications (NADAs) and abbreviated new animal drug applications (ANADAs) is intended to mitigate development of antimicrobial resistance for these antimicrobial drugs, which are important to human medicine. It also, when finalized, will propose timelines for stakeholders wishing to voluntarily align their affected applications with this guidance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The pharmacokinetics of drugs excreted by the kidneys may be 
altered by renal (kidney) impairment, requiring dosing adjustments. 
However, the majority of drugs that are predominantly renally excreted 
and have dosage recommendations for adults with renal impairment lack 
dose adjustment recommendations for pediatric patients with renal 
impairment. This is largely due to the lack of generation of 
pharmacokinetic data in pediatric patients with renal impairment, which 
is attributable to both the ethical and the practical limitations of 
conducting dedicated renal impairment studies in pediatric patients, as 
well as the exclusion of pediatric patients with renal impairment from 
most clinical efficacy and safety studies. For drugs that are renally 
cleared, exposures can be impacted by both the maturation of kidney 
function and the renal impairment due to kidney disease.

II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Workshop

    The main objective of the ``Advancing the Development of Pediatric 
Therapeutics (ADEPT 8) on Drug Dosing in Pediatric Patients With Renal 
Impairment'' workshop is to discuss current approaches to classifying 
renal impairment in the pediatric population, identify data gaps, and 
explore scientifically supported approaches and methods for providing 
information on dosing adjustment. The workshop will specifically focus 
on measurements of renal function, extrapolation of adult data, and 
approaches to generating clinical trial data to assess the impact of 
renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of drugs in pediatric 
patients. In addition, the workshop will allow for an open dialogue 
around the use of these approaches among regulators, industry, 
academia, and patient organizations.
