FDA has posted a [final guidance](https://www.fda.gov/media/129320/download?ref=fdaweb.com) entitled “Delayed Graft Function in Kidney Transplantation: Developing Drugs for Prevention.” The document addresses the agency’s current thinking regarding the overall development program and clinical trial designs for systemic drugs administered to the kidney transplant recipient to support an indication of preventing delayed graft function. FDA notes that the guidance does not address treating delayed graft function in the recipient or the treatment of the donor or the graft for the purpose of preserving or improving graft quality.
