  • FDA Finally Approves Plan B—But with Restrictions
    FDA finally approves Plan B—but with restrictions New York Janice Hopkins Tanne The US Food and Drug Administration has finally approved the emergency contraceptive Plan B for sale over the counter to women aged 18 or over. Plan B is a two pill, high dose regimen of the oral contraceptive levonorgestrel. It is about 90% effective in preventing pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. Plan B will be available towards the end of the year at a cost of $25 (£13; €20) to $40. Women will have to request it from a pharmacist in a pharmacy that is licensed to sell it or from a health clinic. They will have to show government issued identification, such as a driver’s licence, proving they are aged 18 or older. Younger women will need a doctor’s prescription. Men aged 18 or older will also be able to buy the drug for their partner, a move that has raised concern that they may buy it for women under 18. It will not be sold at petrol stations or in convenience stores. The manufacturer, Barr Pharmaceuticals, will survey pharmacies to see that they follow the rules. The FDA’s acting commissioner, Andrew von Eschenbach, approved Plan B three days after President Bush said that he supported approval of the drug for women aged over 18, with prescription only access for younger women. In his approval letter Dr von Eschenbach noted that buyers of nicotine patches and some other drugs already had to prove they were at least 18. The approval came nearly three years after the FDA’s own expert advisory committees and professional staff recommended that the drug be available over the counter for women of all ages.

    Case 1:05-cv-00366-ERK-VVP Document 285 Filed 03/30/09 Page 1 of 52 PageID #: <pageID> UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK -----------------------------------------------------------------X ANNIE TUMMINO et al., Plaintiffs, MEMORANDUM & ORDER - against - No. 05-CV-366 (ERK)(VVP) FRANK M. TORTI,∗ Acting Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, Defendant. -----------------------------------------------------------------X KORMAN, J.: Plan B is an emergency contraceptive that can be used to reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancy after sexual intercourse. When used as directed, it can reduce the risk of pregnancy by up to 89 percent. Plan B acts mainly by stopping the release of an egg from an ovary. It may also prevent sperm from fertilizing an egg that has been released or, if fertilization has already occurred, block implantation of the resulting embryo in the uterus. Plan B does not have any known serious or long-term side effects, though it may have some mild and short-term side effects, such as nausea or abdominal pain, in some users. The approved dosage of Plan B is two pills taken 12 hours apart, each containing 0.75 mg of levonorgestrel, a synthetic hormone similar to the naturally occurring hormone progesterone. Because the drug works best when taken within 24 hours of sexual intercourse, it is commonly referred to as a “morning-after pill.” Nevertheless, the drug is effective if the first dose is taken within 72 hours of sexual intercourse. ∗ Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(d), Acting Commissioner Frank M. Torti has been substituted for former Commissioner Andrew C.

  • Division of Extramural Activities Annual Report 2002
    Division of Extramural Activities Annual Report 2002 National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute Molecular Diagnosis of Cancer Gene expression profiling using DNA microarrays is a technology that arose as a consequence of the Human Genome Project. With DNA microarrays, it is possible to determine the activity (“expression”) of tens of thousands of genes in parallel on microarray plates. The expression of genes influences the biological behavior of a cell because it dictates which proteins the cell can make and gives cells their unique characteristics. In the DNA microarray images shown at the bottom of the cover illustration, each spot represents a different human gene. Red, yellow, and green spots indicate that a gene is expressed at high, intermediate, and low levels, respectively. The pattern of expression of all of the genes in a cell constitutes its gene expression “profile.” Using DNA microarrays, different types of normal and malignant cells can be distinguished from one another because they have distinct gene expression profiles. Shown at the top of the cover illustration are photomicrographs of lymph node biopsies from two patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma. The tumor at the right belongs to the germinal center B cell-like subgroup of diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Patients with this lymphoma type have a relatively favorable 5-year survival rate of 59% following multi-agent chemotherapy. The tumor at the left belongs to the activated B cell-like subgroup of diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Patients with this lymphoma type have a less favorable 5-year survival rate of 31%. Although the tumors from these patients were indistinguishable histologically, they had striking differences in their gene expression profiles, as exemplified by the microarray images shown below each lymphoma subgroup.
