1. Draft Guidance for Industry on Naming of Drug Products Containing Salt Drug Substances
The United States Pharmacopeial (U.S.P.) Convention has adopted a monograph naming policy that changed the nomenclature for compendial drug products that contain a salt. Under the new policy, drug names and strengths for new compendial drug products will be based on the active moiety. The name and strength of the active ingredient (e.g., salt) will appear elsewhere on the drug product label and labeling. The policy became official on May 1, 2013. This draft guidance describes the U.S.P. policy, discusses CDER’s application of the policy, and recommends how CDER and industry can implement the policy.

2. Guidance for Industry on Qualification Process for Drug Development Tools
This guidance describes the qualification process for drug development tools intended for potential use, over time, in multiple drug development programs. The guidance provides a framework for interactions between FDA and sponsors to support work towards qualification of an identified drug development tool and creates a mechanism for formal review of data to qualify the tool and ensure that the evaluation is comprehensive and reliable.

This plan is intended to provide FDA's approach for enhancing business processes, data quality and consistency, supporting technologies, and IT operations as described in the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) Reauthorization Performance Goals and Procedures for Fiscal Years 2013 through 2017. FDA is publishing a draft version of the IT plan for comment to allow industry and other interested stakeholders to provide feedback as FDA moves towards a fully automated standards-based environment that enhances the regulatory review process for human pharmaceuticals.



4. Draft Generic Drug User Fee Act Information Technology Plan
This plan is intended to provide FDA's approach for enhancing business processes, data quality and consistency, supporting technologies, and IT operations as described in the Generic Drug User Fee Act (GDUFA) Performance Goals and Procedures for Fiscal Years 2013 through 2017.
