Description
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announces the availability of a final guidance for industry entitled "Type VII Veterinary Master File for Research and Development and Risk Reviews." This guidance outlines FDA's current thinking on the use of Type VII Veterinary Master Files, which are suitable for research and development of animal cells, tissues, cell- and tissue-based products, gene therapies, and heritable intentional genomic alterations in animals. The guidance finalizes a draft published earlier and invites comments via regulations.gov. It provides regulatory clarity for industry stakeholders involved in veterinary product development.
