This guidance provides recommendations to industry on the development of a shared system risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS)2 16 for multiple prescription drug (including biological) products. This guidance describes some of the possible benefits of a shared system REMS, and provides general principles and recommendations to assist industry with the development of these programs. This guidance does not discuss the process for requesting a waiver of the single, shared system REMS requirement that applies to abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) referencing a listed drug with an approved REMS. FDA issued a separate guidance describing the process for requesting waivers and the criteria FDA applies in considering them.
