Короткий зміст

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled "Antibacterial Drug Products: Use of Noninferiority Studies to Support Approval." The purpose of this guidance is to inform industry of FDA's current thinking regarding appropriate clinical study designs to evaluate antibacterial drugs, and to ask sponsors to amend ongoing or completed studies accordingly. This guidance is in response to a number of public discussions in recent years regarding the use of active-controlled studies designed to show noninferiority as a basis for approval of antibacterial drug products.
