Seventh Annual Predictive Safety Testing Consortium/Food and Drug 
Administration Scientific Workshop; Public Workshop

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of public workshop.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) Center for Drug 
Evaluation and Research (CDER), in cosponsorship with the Critical Path 
Institute (C-Path), is announcing a public scientific workshop to 
discuss the impact of safety biomarkers on drug development. The 
purpose of the workshop is to discuss the following issues: Application 
of toxicometrics as a translational safety strategy that integrates 
nonclinical and clinical safety approaches; uses of rodent and non-
rodent nonclinical species in biomarker qualification; and assay 
validation aspects during biomarker development and qualification.

DATES: The public workshop will be held on April 25, 2016, from 8:30 
a.m. to 5 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The public workshop will be held at the FDA White Oak 
Campus, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 31 Conference Center, the Great 
Room (Rm. 1503 A/B), Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002.
    The FDA Conference Center is a federal facility and is located on 
the White Oak campus and like all federal facilities employs security 
procedures. Entrance for scientific workshop participants (non-FDA 
employees) is through Building 1, where routine security check 
procedures will be performed. For parking and security information,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    FDA and C-Path have expressed a willingness to leverage their 
combined strengths to develop and apply predictive safety testing 
biomarkers in drug development. This annual public workshop is intended 
to bring together leading academic experts, interested pharmaceutical 
companies, regulatory agencies, patient advocacy groups, and non-profit 
organizations.
    This meeting will offer the opportunity to provide updates on the 
progress made in various biomarker development areas by the Predictive 
Safety Testing Consortium, and to discuss issues related to the 
regulatory aspects of qualification and uptake of biomarkers in drug 
development, as well as roadblocks to the sharing of biomarker data by 
the scientific community.

II. Attendance, Registration, and Accommodations

    There is no fee to attend the meeting, but attendees must register 
in advance. Space is limited, and registration will be on a first-come, 
first-served basis. Onsite registration on the day of the workshop is
