CDER/CBER Position on Use of SI Units for
Lab Tests
 October, 2013
 http://www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/DataStandards/StudyDataStandards/
ucm372553.htm
“CDER and CBER are evaluating an approach to transition to general
acceptance of laboratory data in clinical trials that are measured and
reported in Système International (SI) units instead of U.S. Conventional
units. The objective is to establish an agency-wide policy on the
acceptance of SI units in product submissions.
…
While this evaluation is underway, sponsors are strongly encouraged to
solicit input from review divisions as early in the development cycle as
possible to minimize the potential for conversion needs during NDA/BLA
review. CDER and CBER encourage sponsors to discuss this issue with
FDA before the start of Phase 3 trials. In some cases the issue may
warrant discussion with FDA at the End-of-Phase 2 meeting.
