SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
FDA is announcing the availability of a draft GFI #110 (VICH
GL16(R1)) entitled ``Effectiveness of Anthelmintics: Specific
Recommendations for Porcines (Revision 1).'' It should be read in
conjunction with GFI #90 (VICH GL7) entitled ``Effectiveness of
Anthelmintics: General Recommendations,'' which should be referred to
for discussion of broad aspects for providing pivotal data to
demonstrate product anthelmintic effectiveness. The purpose of this
guidance is: (1) to be more specific for certain specific porcine
issues not discussed in GFI #90 (VICH GL7); (2) to highlight
differences with GFI #90 (VICH GL7) on effectiveness data
recommendations; and (3) to give explanations for disparities with GFI
#90 (VICH GL7). This revision clarifies the definition of adequate
infection in individual animals, updates considerations for field
studies, and makes additional clarifying changes.
FDA has participated in efforts to enhance international
harmonization and is committed to seeking scientifically based
harmonized technical procedures for pharmaceutical development. One of
the goals of harmonization is to identify, and then reduce, differences
in technical requirements for drug development among regulatory
agencies in different countries. FDA has actively participated in the
International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for
Pharmaceuticals for Human Use to develop harmonized technical
requirements for the approval of human pharmaceutical and biological
products among the European Union, Japan, and the United States. The
VICH is a parallel initiative for veterinary medicinal products. The
VICH is concerned with developing harmonized technical requirements for
the approval of veterinary medicinal products in the European Union,
Japan, and the United States, and includes input from both regulatory
and industry representatives.
The VICH Steering Committee is composed of member representatives
from the European Commission and European Medicines Agency;
AnimalhealthEurope; FDA--Center for Veterinary Medicine; U.S.
Department of Agriculture--Center for Veterinary Biologics; the U.S.
Animal Health Institute; the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry
and Fisheries; and the Japanese Veterinary Products Association. There
are 10 observers to the VICH Steering Committee: One representative
from government and one representative from industry of Australia, New
Zealand, Canada, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The World
Organisation for Animal Health is an associate member of the VICH. The
VICH Secretariat, which coordinates the preparation of documentation,
is provided by HealthforAnimals.
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
``Effectiveness of Anthelmintics: Specific Recommendations for Porcines
(Revision 1).'' 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 been approved under OMB Control
Number 0910-0032.
III. Electronic Access
