American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists/American
College of Clinical Pharmacology/American Society for Clinical
Pharmacology and Therapeutics/Food and Drug Administration Cosponsored
Workshop on ``Evaluating and Modernizing Our Approaches for Food-Effect
Assessment''
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice of public workshop.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a public
workshop entitled ``Evaluating and Modernizing our Approaches for Food-
Effect Assessment,'' cosponsored with the American Association of
Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS), the American College of Clinical
Pharmacology (ACCP), and the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology
and Therapeutics (ASCPT). The goals of this public workshop are to
facilitate discussion on current scientific approaches on assessing the
effect of food on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs
and to initiate constructive discussion and information sharing among
relevant stakeholders on the influence of food-effects on the
pharmacokinetic properties of therapeutics in order to optimize dose
and dosing regimens.
Date and Time: The workshop will be held on February 2, 2015, from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m., February 3, 2015, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and February
4, 2015, from 8 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
Location: The workshop will be held at the Renaissance Baltimore
Harborplace Hotel, 202 East Pratt St., Baltimore, MD 21202.
Contacts: FDA: Padmaja Mummaneni, Food and Drug Administration,
Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, 10903 New Hampshire Ave.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
FDA's guidance for industry entitled ``Food-Effect Bioavailability
and Fed Bioequivalence Studies'' (Food-Effect Guidance) is an important
tool in the development of new oral therapeutics. Studies are conducted
according to the principles described for every new drug that is
intended to be administered by the oral route. The Food-Effect Guidance
was first published in 2002. Since that time, numerous studies have
been reported in the literature in an effort to address a number of
different aspects related to assessing the effect of food on the
pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs. Predominantly, these
studies have addressed the impact of food composition on the physiology
of drug absorption. In vitro studies have aimed at elucidating the
individual mechanism(s) of drug absorption, and a number of in vivo
studies have addressed the effects of different meal compositions on
the pharmacokinetics of drugs.
FDA has undertaken an effort to revise the 2002 Food-Effect
Guidance and is seeking feedback from academia, industry, and other
stakeholders on several issues. FDA, AAPS, ACCP, and ASCPT agreed to
cosponsor this workshop to provide a forum for input on the best
available science on this topic from academia, industry, other
stakeholders, and regulators.

II. Goals and Objectives
To provide a forum for open discussion between industry,
academia, other stakeholders, and FDA around proposed changes to the
Food-Effect Guidance.
To seek feedback from industry, academia, and other
stakeholders on FDA's proposals and to seek any additional input that
will benefit decision making on a guidance revision on the topic.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.
