The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of final guidance for industry (GFI) #261 entitled "Eligibility Criteria for Expanded Conditional Approval of New Animal Drugs." This guidance is intended for sponsors and potential sponsors who may be interested in pursuing conditional approval of new animal drugs for certain major uses in major species. Eligibility for conditional approval has been expanded beyond minor uses in major species and use in minor species (MUMS) to include certain major uses in major species. The Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM or we) refers to the process for conditionally approving new animal drugs that are not intended for MUMS indications as "expanded conditional approval." The purpose of expanded conditional approval is to incentivize development of new animal drugs for serious or life-threatening conditions or unmet animal or human health needs under circumstances where a demonstration of effectiveness would require a complex or particularly difficult study or studies. This guidance defines certain terms, clarifies the eligibility criteria for expanded conditional approval, and describes the criteria CVM intends to consider when determining expanded conditional approval eligibility.
