SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    Capturing outcomes that are important to patients in clinical 
trials is a high priority for FDA. The pilot COA Compendium is part of 
FDA's efforts to foster patient-focused drug development.\1\ The COA 
Compendium is intended to facilitate communication and to provide 
clarity and transparency to drug developers and the research community 
by collating and summarizing clinical outcome assessment information 
for many different diseases and conditions into a single resource. It 
can be used as a starting point when considering how certain clinical 
outcome assessments might be utilized in clinical trials and will 
likely be most informative in early drug development. The public is 
referred to the following FDA Web site for additional background 
information, along with the pilot COA Compendium: http://www.fda.gov/COACompendium.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The term drug, as used in this notice, refers to human drugs 
including biological products.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Establishment of a Docket and Request for Comments

    To help FDA determine the utility of the COA Compendium, develop 
future iterations of the COA Compendium, and identify best methods for 
conveying COA Compendium information on FDA's Web site, FDA is 
launching the pilot COA Compendium and soliciting public suggestions, 
recommendations, and comments for each aspect of the COA Compendium 
mentioned on the following FDA Web site: http://www.fda.gov/COACompendium. Specifically, FDA welcomes your comments concerning: (1) 
The utility of the COA Compendium; (2) the best approach for developing 
future iterations of it, including any suggested expansions of its 
scope; and (3) COA Compendium-related questions you would like FDA to 
address in its future communications. FDA will consider all comments 
submitted but will generally not respond directly to the person or 
organization submitting the comment.

    Dated: January 7, 2016.
Leslie Kux,
Associate Commissioner for Policy.
