요약

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a draft document entitled "Homologous Use of Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products; Draft Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff." The draft guidance document provides human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based product (HCT/P) manufacturers, health care providers, and FDA staff, with recommendations for applying the criterion of "homologous use" as it applies to HCT/Ps. The interpretation and application of the homologous use criterion and related definitions have been of considerable interest to industry stakeholders since they were first proposed during the Agency's rulemaking on HCT/Ps.
