{"abstract":"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a guidance entitled \"M7 Assessment and Control of DNA Reactive (Mutagenic) Impurities in Pharmaceuticals to Limit Potential Carcinogenic Risk.\" The guidance was prepared under the auspices of the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). The guidance emphasizes considerations of both safety and quality risk management in establishing levels of mutagenic impurities that are expected to pose negligible carcinogenic risk. It outlines recommendations for assessment and control of mutagenic impurities that reside or are reasonably expected to reside in a final drug substance or product, taking into consideration the intended conditions of human use. The guidance is intended to provide guidance for new drug substances and new drug products during their clinical development and subsequent applications for marketing.","action":"Notice.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"},{"raw_name":"Food and Drug Administration","name":"Food and Drug Administration","id":199,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/food-and-drug-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/199","parent_id":221,"slug":"food-and-drug-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2015/05/28/2015-12752.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"80 FR 30465","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Submit either electronic or written comments on Agency guidances at any time.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FDA-2013-D-0369"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2015-12752","effective_on":null,"end_page":30466,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2015/05/28/2015-12752.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/05/28/2015-12752/m7-assessment-and-control-of-dna-reactive-mutagenic-impurities-in-pharmaceuticals-to-limit-potential","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2015-12752?publication_date=2015-05-28","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2015-05-28/2015-12752/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":852,"last_updated":"2026-04-05 00:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-05-28/pdf/2015-12752.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2015-12752.pdf?1432730728","publication_date":"2015-05-28","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2015/05/28/2015-12752.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=FDA-2013-D-0369","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"FDA-2013-D-0369","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"International Conference on Harmonisation; on M7 Assessment and Control of DNA Reactive (Mutagenic) Impurities in Pharmaceuticals to Limit Potential Carcinogenic Risk","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2015-06-17T06:00:16Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":30465,"subtype":null,"title":"M7 Assessment and Control of DNA Reactive (Mutagenic) Impurities in Pharmaceuticals to Limit Potential Carcinogenic Risk; International Conference on Harmonisation; Guidance for Industry; Availability","toc_doc":"M7 Assessment and Control of DNA Reactive (Mutagenic) Impurities in Pharmaceuticals to Limit Potential Carcinogenic Risk","toc_subject":"Guidance for Industry and Staff:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":80}
