Summary

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled "Measuring Growth and Evaluating Pubertal Development in Pediatric Clinical Trials." The purpose of this draft guidance is to outline the most appropriate methods for measuring and recording growth and evaluating pubertal development for drugs or biological products in development for pediatric use when such an assessment is necessary to support safety. This draft guidance is intended to encourage a consistent approach to collecting interpretable and accurate growth and pubertal development data. This draft guidance does not address use of growth or pubertal development data to support primary evidence of efficacy in growth disorders and does not address evaluation of nutritional status.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
