Draft

Not for implementation. Contains non-binding recommendations.

Docket Number:
FDA-2022-D-1494
Issued by:
Guidance Issuing Office
Center for Veterinary Medicine

The present guidance for canines was developed by the Working Group that was established by the International Cooperation on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Veterinary Medical Products (VICH), Anthelmintic Guidances. It should be read in conjunction with Guidance for Industry (GFI) #90 (VICH GL7), “Effectiveness of Anthelmintics: General Recommendations,” which should be referred to for discussion of broad aspects for providing pivotal data to demonstrate product anthelmintic effectiveness. The present document is structured similarly to GFI #90/VICH GL7 with the aim of simplicity for readers comparing both documents.

The aim of this canine guidance is: (1) to be more specific for certain specific canine issues not discussed in GFI #90/VICH GL7; (2) to highlight differences with GFI #90/VICH GL7 on effectiveness data recommendations; and (3) to give explanations for disparities with GFI #90/VICH GL7.

It is also important to note that technical procedures to be followed in the studies are not the aim of this guidance. We recommend that sponsors refer to pertinent procedures described in detail in other published documents, e.g., World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology (W.A.A.V.P.) guidelines for evaluating the effectiveness of anthelmintics for dogs and cats. Veterinary Parasitology 52: 179-202, 1994, and updated versions as they are published.
