  • FDA and Marijuana: Questions and Answers 1
    FDA and Marijuana: Questions and Answers 1. How is marijuana therapy being used by some members of the medical community? A. The FDA is aware that marijuana or marijuana-derived products are being used for a number of medical conditions including, for example, AIDS wasting, epilepsy, neuropathic pain, treatment of spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis, and cancer and chemotherapy-induced nausea. 2. Why hasn’t the FDA approved marijuana for medical uses? A. To date, the FDA has not approved a marketing application for marijuana for any indication. The FDA generally evaluates research conducted by manufacturers and other scientific investigators. Our role, as laid out in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act, is to review data submitted to the FDA in an application for approval to assure that the drug product meets the statutory standards for approval. The FDA has approved Epidiolex, which contains a purified drug substance cannabidiol, one of more than 80 active chemicals in marijuana, for the treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or Dravet syndrome in patients 2 years of age and older. That means the FDA has concluded that this particular drug product is safe and effective for its intended indication. The agency also has approved Marinol and Syndros for therapeutic uses in the United States, including for the treatment of anorexia associated with weight loss in AIDS patients. Marinol and Syndros include the active ingredient dronabinol, a synthetic delta-9- tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is considered the psychoactive component of marijuana. Another FDA-approved drug, Cesamet, contains the active ingredient nabilone, which has a chemical structure similar to THC and is synthetically derived.

Bannister* While approximately one in ten Americans suffers from a rare disease, only 5 percent of rare diseases have a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved treatment. Congressional and regulatory efforts to stimulate the development of rare-disease treatments, while laudable, have not resolved the fundamental issues surrounding rare-disease treatment development. Indeed, small patient populations, incomplete scientific understanding of rare diseases, and high development costs continually limit the availability of rare-disease treatments. To illustrate the struggle of developing and approving safe rare-disease treatments, this Note begins by discussing the approval of Eteplirsen, the first drug approved for treating a rare disease called Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

In addition, efforts have been underway to develop new diagnostic Analyst in Health Policy tools (i.e., testing) to help better identify and isolate positive cases, thereby reducing the spread of the disease. To this end, Congress has appropriated funds for research and development into new medical countermeasures (MCMs) in several recent supplemental appropriations acts. MCMs are medical products that may be used to treat, prevent, or diagnose conditions associated with emerging infectious diseases or chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) agents. MCMs include biologics (e.g., vaccines, monoclonal antibodies), drugs (e.g., antimicrobials, antivirals), and medical devices (e.g., diagnostic tests).

  • Existing Regulatory Pathways and Processes Relevant to COVID-19
    IRB Reference: Existing Regulatory Pathways and Processes Relevant to COVID-19 As institutional review boards (IRBs) continue to adapt to the new challenges associated with managing human research protection programs (HRPP) during the COVID-19 pandemic, IRB leadership should ensure that their administrators and reviewers are familiar with several categories of research that are infrequently seen at many institutions but may become more applicable during the coming months as the pandemic is managed. Public Health Surveillance Activities The revised Common Rule included additional carve-outs to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) definition of “research,” one of which excluded certain public health surveillance activities. Specifically, the following activities are not considered research as defined by HHS: • Public health surveillance activities conducted by a public health authority, limited to those necessary to allow a public health authority to identify, monitor, assess, or investigate potential public health signals, onsets of disease outbreaks, or conditions of public health importance. o Including the collection and testing of information or biospecimens, conducted, supported, requested, ordered, required, or authorized by a public health authority. o Including trends, signals, risk factors, patterns in diseases, or increases in injuries from using consumer products. o Including those associated with providing timely situational awareness and priority setting during the course of an event or crisis that threatens public health (including natural or man-made disasters). HRPP leaders are advised to remind IRB administrators and staff to be aware of these carve-outs in the event that your offices receive any questions or submissions involving applicable COVID-19 public health surveillance activities.

  • Expanded Access Programme: Looking for a Common Definition Antonella Iudicello1, Lucia Alberghini2*, Giulia Benini2 and Paola Mosconi3
    Iudicello et al. Trials (2016) 17:21 DOI 10.1186/s13063-015-1108-0 REVIEW Open Access Expanded Access Programme: looking for a common definition Antonella Iudicello1, Lucia Alberghini2*, Giulia Benini2 and Paola Mosconi3 Abstract Therapeutic use of an unauthorised drug (or of an authorised drug for an unauthorised indication) for patients with a life-threating disease is permitted outside a clinical trial as an Expanded Access Programme (EAP). The regulations regarding EAPs is not the same all over the world. For example, the recommendation of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in EU countries also includes within EAPs patients who have been treated in a clinical trial and who wish to continue the treatment. Nevertheless, the patients treated in a clinical trial could have the option of continuing treatment for an extended period in an Open-label Extension study, aimed to generate long-term data on efficacy, safety, tolerability and administration. The aims of this paper – based on the difficulties and incoherence encountered by an Italian Ethic Committee (EC) during the authorisation process of EAPs – are: understanding the origin of this misclassification by analysing differences and similarities among USA, European and Italian regulations concerning EAPs; and showing difficulties in classifying international study protocols as a consequence of the lack of harmonisation of definitions. We performed a critical review of the current USA, European and Italian regulations and we analysed some practical cases by retrieving protocols from Clinicaltrials.gov and the Italian Clinical Trials Registry (OsSC) containing in the title the keywords ‘Expanded Access Programme’, “’Expanded Access’, ‘Open-label Extension study’ or ‘Early Access’.

  • Emergency Use, Compassionate Use & Expanded Access Programs
    Emergency Use, Compassionate Use & Expanded Access Programs Investigational New Drug An Investigational New Drug (IND) is a substance that has been tested in the laboratory and has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for testing in people. An IND application is a request for authorization from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to administer an investigational drug or biological product to humans. Authorization must be secured prior to interstate shipment and administration of any new drug or biological product that is not the subject of an approved New Drug Application or Biologics/Product License Application. There are three IND types: - Investigator IND - Emergency Use IND - Treatment IND (Compassionate use/Expanded Access) Investigational Device Exemption An approved investigational device exemption (IDE) permits a device that otherwise would be required to comply with a performance standard or to have premarket approval to be shipped lawfully for the purpose of conducting investigations of that device. There are 2 IDE types: - Traditional IDE Study - Expanded Access Emergency Use Emergency Use: The use of a test article on a human patient in a life-threatening or severely debilitating circumstance where no standard medically acceptable treatment is available and there is not sufficient time to obtain full IRB approval for use of the test article to treat the patient [21 CFR 56.102(d)]. - Life-threatening: Diseases or conditions where the likelihood of death is high unless the course of the disease is interrupted. - Severely debilitating: Diseases or conditions that would likely cause major irreversible morbidity (e.g. loss of a limb, paralysis or stroke).
