31 If the most important therapeutic action cannot be determined (e.g., a combination product may have two independent modes of action, neither of which is subordinate to the other) an algorithm (see FDA's regulations at 21 CFR Part 3) directs center assignment based on which center regulates combination products that raise similar types of safety and effectiveness questions, or, if there is no such center, based on which center has the most expertise to evaluate the most significant safety and effectiveness questions raised by the combination product.

32 For a description of which categories of products are reviewed and regulated by CBER versus CDER, please refer to the Transfer of Therapeutic Biological Products to the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research
