Subchapter B of chapter V of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ( 21 U.S.C. 360aa et seq. ) is amended by inserting after section 529 the following: The purpose of this section, through the approach provided for in subsection (b), is to— facilitate the development, review, and approval of genetically targeted drugs and variant protein targeted drugs to address an unmet medical need in one or more patient subgroups, including subgroups of patients with different mutations of a gene, with respect to rare diseases or conditions that are serious or life-threatening; and maximize the use of scientific tools or methods, including surrogate endpoints and other biomarkers, for such purposes.
The Secretary may, consistent with applicable standards for approval under this Act or section 351(a) of the Public Health Service Act, allow the sponsor of an application under section 505(b)(1) of this Act or section 351(a) of the Public Health Service Act for a genetically targeted drug or a variant protein targeted drug to rely upon data and information— previously developed by the same sponsor (or another sponsor that has provided the sponsor with a contractual right of reference to such data and information); and submitted by a sponsor described in paragraph
(1)in support of one or more previously approved applications that were submitted under section 505(b)(1) of this Act or section 351(a) of the Public Health Service Act, for a drug that incorporates or utilizes the same or similar genetically targeted technology as the drug or drugs that are the subject of an application or applications described in paragraph
(2)or for a variant protein targeted drug that is the same or incorporates or utilizes the same variant protein targeted drug, as the drug or drugs that are the subject of an application or applications described in paragraph (2). For purposes of this section— the term genetically targeted drug means a drug that— is the subject of an application under section 505(b)(1) of this Act or section 351(a) of the Public Health Service Act for the treatment of a rare disease or condition (as such term is defined in section 526) that is serious or life-threatening; may result in the modulation (including suppression, up-regulation, or activation) of the function of a gene or its associated gene product; and incorporates or utilizes a genetically targeted technology; the term genetically targeted technology means a technology comprising non-replicating nucleic acid or analogous compounds with a common or similar chemistry that is intended to treat one or more patient subgroups, including subgroups of patients with different mutations of a gene, with the same disease or condition, including a disease or condition due to other variants in the same gene; and the term variant protein targeted drug means a drug that— is the subject of an application under section 505(b)(1) of this Act or section 351(a) of the Public Health Service Act for the treatment of a rare disease or condition (as such term is defined in section 526) that is serious or life-threatening; modulates the function of a product of a mutated gene where such mutation is responsible in whole or in part for a given disease or condition; and is intended to treat one or more patient subgroups, including subgroups of patients with different mutations of a gene, with the same disease or condition. Nothing in this section shall be construed to— alter the authority of the Secretary to approve drugs pursuant to this Act or section 351 of the Public Health Service Act (as authorized prior to the date of enactment of the 21st Century Cures Act ), including the standards of evidence, and applicable conditions, for approval under such applicable Act; or confer any new rights, beyond those authorized under this Act or the Public Health Service Act prior to enactment of this section, with respect to the permissibility of a sponsor referencing information contained in another application submitted under section 505(b)(1) of this Act or section 351(a) of the Public Health Service Act. .
