Minor Uses Minor Species (MUMS) Drug Designations

A sponsor can apply for Designation status for Minor Use and Minor Species drugs prior to their approval or conditional approval. If a drug is designated for MUMS purposes, the sponsor of the drug obtains seven (7) years of marketing exclusivity upon approval (or conditional approval) of the drug. Each designation that is granted must be unique, i.e., only one sponsor can be designated for a particular drug substance in a particular dosage form for a particular intended use.  The Center is following the final rule for designations to administer this provision. The final rule lays out how to apply for designation, what needs to be submitted and other information pertaining to this option.
