Traducción automática local · Idioma original de la fuente
Resumen
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled "Clinical Trial Endpoints for the Approval of Cancer Drugs and Biologics." This is the first of a series of guidances that will provide recommendations to sponsors on endpoints for cancer clinical trials submitted to FDA to support effectiveness claims in new drug applications (NDAs), biologics license applications (BLAs), or supplemental applications. Sponsors are encouraged to use this draft guidance to design cancer clinical trials and to discuss protocols with the agency. This draft guidance provides background information and discusses general regulatory principles. Each subsequent guidance will focus on endpoints for specific cancer types (e.g., lung cancer, colon cancer) to support drug approval or labeling claims. These guidances are expected to speed the development and improve the quality of protocols submitted to the agency to support anticancer effectiveness claims.
