21st Century Cures: Announcing the Establishment of a Surrogate Endpoint Table; Establishment of a Public Docket; Request for Comments

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the establishment of a public docket to receive suggestions and comments from interested parties (including academic institutions, regulated industry, and patient groups) on the Agency's publication of the surrogate endpoint table (SE table). FDA has developed a web page, available at https://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DevelopmentApprovalProcess/ DevelopmentResources/ucm613636.htm that displays the SE table, describes the purpose of the table, and provides additional background information. Comments received on the SE table will help FDA determine its utility and may assist FDA in developing future iterations of the SE table and identifying best methods for conveying information about SEs on the FDA's website.
