I. Background

Congress enacted the ADAA (Pub. L. 104-250) on October 9, 1996. Section 2(e) of the ADA A directs FDA to issue, within 18 months of its enactment, fina l regulations

to further define the term adequate an d well controlled to requ ire that fieldinvestigations be designed and con ducted in a scientifically soun d manner, taking intoaccount practical cond itions in the field and differences between field cond itions andlaboratory conditions. In an adv ance notice of proposed rulemaking that pu blished inthe Federal Register of Nov ember 21, 1996 (61 FR 5 9209), FDA solicited co mmentsfrom interested p arties on how to further define adeq uate and well controlled as itrelates to field s tudies. 1 Docket No. 96N- 0411 was created for co mments respondingto this n otice.In the Federal Register of May 8, 1997 (62 FR 25 153), FDA propos ed to amend itsregulations in part 514 (21 CFR part 514) to further define the term adequ ate andwell-controlled s tudies. FDA provided 75 days for public comment on the

A. Section 514.117(a)

1. AHI recommended that FDA clarify in proposed Sec. 514.117(a) that reports of adequate and well-controlled studies refer to reports of adequate and well-controlledeffectiveness studies. Based on the following discussion, FDA does not find itnecessary to make such a clarification. Under section 512(d)(1)(E) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act)

(21 U.S.C. 360b(d)(1)(E)), FDA must refuse to approve a new animal drugapplication if there is a lack of substantial evidence that the drug will have the effectit is purported or represented to have under the conditions of use prescribed,recommended, or suggested in the proposed labeling. By definition, substantialevidence consists of one or more adequate and well-controlled studies on the basis of which experts qualified by scientific training and experience to evaluate theeffectiveness of the drug could fairly and reasonably conclude that the drug will havethe effect it purports or is represented to have under the conditions of use prescribed,recommended, or suggested in its proposed labeling (section 512(d)(3) of the act).Thus, it is clear and well established that adequate and well-controlled studies arestudies intended to determine whether or not a drug is effective. Because it is adequate and well-controlled studies and not just reports of adequateand well-controlled studies that provide a basis for determining whether a newanimal drug is effective, and in some instances support a claim of target animalsafety, FDA is deleting Reports of in the second to last sentence in proposed Sec.514.117(a). In that same sentence, FDA is also clarifying that adequate and well-controlledstudies may be relied upon to support target animal safety but are not necessary tosupport claims of target animal safety. Studies intended to demonstrate safety neednot be adequate and well-controlled studies (see section 512(d)(1) of the act, whichstates that in order to secure approval o f a new animal drug, a sponsor must conductadequate tests by all methods reasonably applicable to show whether or not such drugis safe). In proposed Sec. 514.117(a), FDA intended only to note that adequate andwell-controlled studies intended to demonstrate whether a new animal drug iseffective may be designed in a manner that also permits sponsors to simultaneouslycollect target animal safety data. If a sponsor needs to demonstrate through a fieldstudy that a new animal drug is safe for use in the target animal, the sponsor may doso by adequate tests by methods that are reasonably applicable or as part of anadequate and well-controlled study that is designed to determine the effectiveness of the new animal drug. Accordingly the second to last sentence in Sec. 514.117(a) willnow provide that adequate and well-controlled studies, in addition to p roviding a

basis for determining whether a new animal drug is effective, may also be relied uponto support target animal safety.

514.117 Adequate and well-controlled studies .

(a) Purpose . The primary purpose of conducting adequateand well-controlled studies of a new animal drug is todistinguish the effect of the new animal drug fromother influences, such as spontaneous change in thecourse of the disease, normal animal production

performance, or biased observation. One or moreadequate and well-controlled studies are required toestablish, by substantial evidence, that a new animaldrug is effective. The characteristics described in

paragraph (b) of this section have been developed over a period of years and are generally recognized as theessentials of an adequate and well-controlled study.Well controlled, as used in the phrase adequate and

well controlled, emphasizes an important aspect of adequacy. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)considers these characteristics in determining whether a study is adequate and well controlled for purposes of section 512 of the Federal Food, Drug, and CosmeticAct (the act) (21 U.S.C. 360b). Adequate and well-controlled studies, in addition to providing a basis for determining whether a new animal drug is effective,may also be relied upon to support target animalsafety. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
