  • The Covid–19 Pandemic and Haemoglobin Disorders
    THE COVID–19 PANDEMIC AND HAEMOGLOBIN DISORDERS VACCINATIONS & THERAPEUTIC DRUGS An Informational Guide from the Thalassaemia International Federation (TIF) Prepared by: Dr Androulla Eleftheriou, Executive Director, TIF Last Updated: 12 May 2020 VACCINATIONS & THERAPEUTIC DRUGS Introduction It is important to note that there are currently no FDA1 or EMA2-approved or even recommended agents for the treatment of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), for which the World Health Organization (WHO) declared as pandemic on Wednesday 11th of March 2020. Any agent being used at this time is being administered in an experimental setting under controlled conditions. Thalassaemia International Federation (TIF) has made an effort to compile a list of studies/clinical trials for treatment and vaccines, which is by no means exhaustive as this situation is extremely labile and research in this area is dramatically intensified. New information is anticipated to be added to this guide which is prepared exclusively for TIF’s global thalassemia community. The viral genome was mapped very soon as rom early January 2020 and shared globally. In February 2020, the WHO published an overview of the potential therapeutic candidates for the treatment of COVID-19. The document outlines 76 regimens that have been proposed (as of February 17, 2020) for the treatment of patients infected with the virus. Thirty-eight of these candidates are in the preclinical state with minimal information available on their proposed mechanism, uses, doses routes, or planned trials. Sixteen of the remaining regimens contain an interferon-based product. The rest include a variety of antimicrobials, corticosteroids, convalescent plasma, and biologics. The Director-General of the WHO, Mr Tedros Adhanom, stated on the 10th of April 2020, that more than 70 countries have joined WHO’s trial to accelerate research on effective treatments and 20 Institutions and companies ‘are racing to develop a vaccine’.

  • FDA Listing of Authorized Generics As of July 1, 2021
    FDA Listing of Authorized Generics as of July 1, 2021 Note: This list of authorized generic drugs (AGs) was created from a manual review of FDA’s database of annual reports submitted to the FDA since January 1, 1999 by sponsors of new drug applications (NDAs). Because the annual reports seldom indicate the date an AG initially entered the market, the column headed “Date Authorized Generic Entered Market” reflects the period covered by the annual report in which the AG was first reported. Subsequent marketing dates by the same firm or other firms are not included in this listing. As noted, in many cases FDA does not have information on whether the AG is still marketed and, if not still marketed, the date marketing ceased. Although attempts have been made to ensure that this list is as accurate as possible, given the volume of d ata reviewed and the possibility of database limitations or errors, users of this list are cautioned to independently verify the information on the list. We welcome comments on and suggested changes (e.g., additions and deletions) to the list, but the list may include only information that is included in an annual report. Please send suggested changes to the list, along with any supporting documentation to: [email protected] A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V X Y Z NDA Applicant Date Authorized Generic Proprietary Name Dosage Form Strength Name Entered the Market 1 ACANYA Gel 1.2% / 2.5% Bausch Health 07/2018 Americas, Inc.
