The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled "Oncology Pharmaceuticals: Streamlined Nonclinical Safety Studies for Biologics and Conjugated Products." When finalized, this guidance will assist sponsors in implementing streamlined approaches for general toxicology, for nonclinical safety assessments of certain oncology pharmaceuticals. The guidance is intended to facilitate drug development for biological products and conjugated products for the treatment of cancer while avoiding unnecessary animal use. The recommendations in this draft guidance are informed by data analysis of general toxicology studies and practices developed during the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce use of non-human primates.
