Follow-Up Discussion on March 16, 2012 Meeting Minutes
The March 16, 2012 minutes have been amended to reflect conversations held by both parties and agreed to at this meeting.
Expedited Review
Industry was interested in continued exploration of expedited review. FDA stated that with the current efficiencies the expedited review procedures would not accelerate time to approval. Industry suggested limiting the scope of expedited review to the last data submission of a phase review project. FDA stated that they would explore that option.
Additional Negotiation Meetings
Two additional negotiation meetings were added to the schedule – June 5, 2012 and June 19, 2012.
Short Term Performance Changes – Continued Discussion
Industry responded to FDA’s proposals from the April 10th negotiation meeting. FDA noted that any discussions and subsequent agreements with performance changes are dependent on FDA acquiring full funding for ADUFA III to maintain ADUFA II performance levels. Having no agreement on the funding agreements, no performance agreements were reached.
Industry’s Long Term Changes Proposal – Continued Discussion
- Conditional Approvals
- No agreement was reached at this point. FDA will explore further options.
- ADAA Combinations
- No agreement was reached at this point. FDA will explore further options.
- Greater Application of Foreign Data
- Industry will present a specific proposal at the next meeting.
Industry Feedback on the Workload Adjuster
Agreement was reached on modifying the Workload Adjustor (WA) by moving the base years for calculating the WA to the five previous years (e.g., ADUFA II). Industry and FDA agreed to maintain the existing sentinel submissions, and to ensure consistency in the accounting of submissions if processes changes are agreed to between ADUFA II and ADUFA III.
