The Division of Drug Information (DDI) is CDER's focal point for public inquiries. We serve the public by providing information on human drug products and drug product regulation by FDA.
On Friday, September 27 from 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (EDT), FDA will present a webinar on new Draft Guidance for Industry Antibacterial Therapies for Patients with Unmet Medical Need for the Treatment of Serious Bacterial Diseases.
The purpose of this draft guidance for industry (GFI) is to assist sponsors in the development of new antibacterial drugs to treat serious bacterial diseases, particularly in areas of unmet need, and new antibacterial drugs that are pathogen-focused (i.e., drugs that have a narrow spectrum of activity or are only active against a single genus or species of bacteria).
This webinar will provide an opportunity to learn about the guidance from individuals involved in its preparation. It is also intended to encourage the submission of questions or comments while the guidance is still in draft form.
Questions may be submitted to the docket so that they can be formally processed by FDA.
