Benefit-Risk Assessment for New Drug and Biological Products; Draft Guidance for Industry; Availability

Resumo

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled "Benefit- Risk Assessment for New Drug and Biological Products." FDA has developed this guidance document in accordance with commitments associated with the Prescription Drug User Fee Act of 2017 (PDUFA VI) under the FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017 and requirements under the 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act). The intent of this guidance is to provide drug sponsors and other stakeholders with a clearer understanding of how considerations about a drug's benefits, risks, and risk management options factor into certain FDA pre- and postmarket regulatory decisions about new drug applications (NDAs) submitted under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and biologics license applications (BLAs).
