Guidance Issuing OfficeCenter for Veterinary Medicine
The present guidance for poultry (Gallus gallus) was developed by the Working Group 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 Anthelmintic: 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 the guidance for chickens is: (1) to be more specific for certain specific issues for chickens not discussed in GFI #90/VICH GL7; (2) to highlight differences with GFI #90/VICH GL7on 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 the pertinent procedures described in detail in other published documents, e.g., World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology (WAAVP) guidelines for evaluating the efficacy of anthelmintics in chickens and turkeys. Veterinary Parasitology 116: 159-173, 2003, and updated versions as they are published.
