요약

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled "Type V DMFs for CDER-Led Combination Products Using Device Constituent Parts With Electronics or Software." A drug master file (DMF) is a voluntary submission to FDA that may be used to provide confidential detailed information about facilities, processes, or articles used in the manufacturing, processing, packaging, and storing of one or more human drugs. This draft guidance explains when a Type V DMF may be used to submit information regarding a combination product for which the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) has primary jurisdiction (i.e., a CDER-led combination product) and which features a device constituent part with electronics and/or software that is planned to be used as a platform, that is, may be used in multiple CDER-led combination products. The draft guidance also describes the administrative process and outlines the recommended content for these Type V DMF submissions and amendments.
