DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

21 CFR Parts 510 and 520

[Docket No. FDA-2009-N-0665]


New Animal Drugs; Trilostane

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal 
drug regulations to reflect the original approval of a new animal drug 
application (NADA) filed by Dechra, Ltd. The NADA provides for the 
veterinary prescription use of trilostane capsules in dogs for 
treatment of pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism and for treatment 
of hyperadrenocorticism due to adrenocortical tumor.

DATES: This rule is effective May 11, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Melanie R. Berson, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-110), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 240-276-8337, e-mail: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Dechra, Ltd., Dechra House, Jamage 
Industrial Estate, Talke Pits, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, ST7 1XW, 
United Kingdom, filed NADA 141-291 that provides for veterinary 
prescription use of VETORYL (trilostane) Capsules in dogs for treatment 
of pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism and for treatment of 
hyperadrenocorticism due to adrenocortical tumor. The NADA is approved 
as of December 5, 2008, and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR part 
520 to reflect the approval.
    In addition, Dechra, Ltd. is not currently listed in the animal 
drug regulations as a sponsor of an approved application. Accordingly, 
21 CFR 510.600(c) is being amended to add entries for this sponsor.
    In accordance with the freedom of information provisions of 21 CFR 
part 20 and 21 CFR 514.11(e)(2)(ii), a summary of safety and 
effectiveness data and information submitted to support approval of 
this application may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management 
(HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, 
Rockville, MD 20852, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
    Under section 512(c)(2)(F)(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 360b(c)(2)(F)(i)), this approval 
qualifies for 5 years of marketing exclusivity beginning on the date of 
approval.
    Under section 573(c) of the act (21 U.S.C. 360ccc-2), the approval 
of trilostane capsules for treatment of hyperadrenocorticism due to 
adrenocortical tumor in dogs qualifies for 7 years of exclusive 
marketing rights beginning on the date of approval because the new 
animal drug has been declared a designated new animal drug by FDA under 
section 573(a) of the act.
    The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33 that this action is of 
a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant 
effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental 
assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required.
    This rule does not meet the definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C. 
804(3)(A) because it is a rule of ``particular applicability.'' 
Therefore, it is not subject to the congressional review requirements 
in 5 U.S.C. 801-808.
