11/13/2018: The FDA announced a public meeting titled "Drug Development Tool Process under the 21st Century Cures Act and PDUFA VI" that will provide an opportunity for public input regarding the drug development tools qualification pathway for animal models, biomarkers, and clinical outcome assessments. Public commentary is requested and may be submitted written or electronically through the public docket until January 31, 2019.
10/30/2018: The FDA is seeking feedback on the surrogate endpoint table (SE table) to help determine its utility and to assist in developing future versions of the table. Comments must be submitted written or electronically by December 31, 2018.
7/25/2018: The FDA has fulfilled a requirement of Section 3011 with the publishing of the Surrogate Endpoint Table. This table is a list of "surrogate endpoints which were the basis of approval or licensure (as applicable) of a drug or a biological product" under both accelerated and traditional pathways. The endpoints can be used instead of clinical outcomes in some clinical trials, which has helped expedite drug development.
