SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In the Federal Register of July 25, 2024 (89 FR 60436), FDA requested information and comments. Interested persons were originally given until September 23, 2024, to comment on evaluating and mitigating the immunogenicity risk of host cell proteins.
Following publication of the July 25, 2024, notice, FDA received a request to allow interested persons additional time to comment. The requester asserted that the time period of 60 days was insufficient to respond fully to FDA's specific requests for comments and to allow potential respondents to thoroughly evaluate and address pertinent issues.
