DOCKET NO. 98N-0056

UPDATE OF LIST OF APPROVED DRUGS FOR WHICH ADDITIONAL PEDIATRIC INFORMATION MAY PRODUCE HEALTH BENEFITS IN THE PEDIATRIC POPULATION
(MAY 20, 2001)

Drugs and Biologics

BACKGROUND

On November 21, 1997, President Clinton signed into law the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-115) (Modernization Act). The Modernization Act (21 U.S.C. 355a(b)) required the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), after consultation with experts in pediatric research, to develop, prioritize, and publish an initial list of approved drugs for which additional pediatric information may produce health benefits in the pediatric population (the list). FDA published the initial prioritized list (priority list) on May 20, 1998. FDA is required to update the priority list annually. Attachments A and B represent the Agency’s third annual update of the priority list. The list is published below and at the Dockets Management Branch in Docket No. 98N-0056. A copy of the list is also available through fax-on-demand (1-800-342-2722, Document number 0504).

For purposes of this list, "approved drug" is defined by FDA as a drug that is approved for use in adults for indications that occur in the pediatric population. This list is intended solely to satisfy the requirement of 21 U.S.C. 355a(b). The list does not constitute a written request under 21 U.S.C. 355a(c). Inclusion of a drug on the list does not necessarily mean that the drug is entitled to pediatric exclusivity. Inclusion of a drug on the list does not mean that a sponsor is required to take any action.

If an interested party wishes to have a drug added to the priority list, it should petition the Agency in accordance with the requirements of 21 CFR 10.30. Petitioners should include in the header of their petition, "PEDIATRIC PRIORITY LIST."

For further information see "Guidance for Industry: Qualifying for Pediatric Exclusivity Under Section 505A of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act."
