Alert: Change to comment period
The Food and Drug Administration is holding a public hearing on a potential approach for certain device sponsors to seek marketing authorization for a device labeled for use with a drug that is already approved and on the market, when the drug sponsor does not wish to pursue the new use. Called devices referencing drugs (DRDs), these products have the potential to advance public health by offering new uses with approved, marketed drugs that might not otherwise be available.
FDA, in cooperation with the Drug Information Association, held a public meeting in 2005 on combined uses of separately distributed products and other related issues. FDA has since gained greater experience with DRDs and is seeking comment on a potential approach for addressing the unique public health, scientific, regulatory, and legal issues that these products may raise.
