SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
There are no approved medical products with an indication for treatment of ARS. The public workshop will provide the opportunity to explore current research involving animal models for the development of treatments for ARS, and to determine what areas need further research. There will be feature presentations by experts from government, academia, and medicine. The first day of the workshop will include presentations on the effects of radiation and the management of patients with ARS, and a discussion of the application of the animal rule to therapies for ARS. Both days of the workshop will examine the challenges faced when using animal models to mimic radiation exposure scenarios and will include panel discussions that will focus on various animal models and their application to the different syndromes of ARS.Please note that on January 15, 2008, the FDA Division of Dockets Management Web site transitioned to the Federal Dockets Management System (FDMS). FDMS is a Governmentwide, electronic docket management system. Electronic comments or submissions will be accepted by FDA only through FDMS at http://www.regulations.gov.
