Abbreviated New Drug Applications for Certain Highly Purified Synthetic Peptide Drug Products That Refer to Listed Drugs of Recombinant Deoxyribonucleic Acid Origin; Draft Guidance for Industry; Availability

概要

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled "ANDAs for Certain Highly Purified Synthetic Peptide Drug Products That Refer to Listed Drugs of rDNA Origin." The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) permits any person to submit to the FDA an abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) to seek approval to market a generic version of a previously approved drug product. This draft guidance is intended to assist potential applicants in determining when an application for a synthetic peptide drug product (specifically glucagon, liraglutide, nesiritide, teriparatide, and teduglutide) that refers to a previously approved peptide drug product of recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (rDNA) origin should be submitted as an ANDA rather than as new drug application (NDA).
