Postapproval Pregnancy Safety Studies; Draft Guidance for Industry; Availability
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled "Postapproval Pregnancy Safety Studies." When finalized, the purpose of this guidance will be to provide sponsors and investigators with recommendations on how to design investigations to assess the outcomes of pregnancies in women exposed to drugs and biological products regulated by FDA (i.e., pregnancy safety studies). This draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on postapproval pregnancy safety studies. This draft guidance is intended to help industry develop more comprehensive and scientifically sound studies to assess the safety of drug and biological products during pregnancy in the postmarketing setting. The previous guidance for industry entitled "Establishing Pregnancy Exposure Registries," issued on August 23, 2002, has been withdrawn.
