On September 27, 2007, the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA;
H.R. 3580) was signed into law (P.L. 110-85). The comprehensive law reauthorizes four expiring
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) programs and expands the agency's authority to regulate
the safety of prescription drugs and biologics, medical devices, and foods. Understanding the way
in which FDAAA changed the law governing the agency informs policy discussions aimed at
additional FDA reform and reorganization, as well as health care reform efforts that touch upon
the quality, availability, and cost of medical products.

At its core, FDAAA renews the authority for two key user fee programs that were set to expire on
October 1, 2007: the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA; P.L. 107-188) and the Medical
Device User Fee and Modernization Act (MDUFMA; P.L. 107-250). In FY2007, the year in
which FDAAA was enacted, these programs accounted for 91% of FDA's user fee revenue and
18% of FDA's total budget. Without the reauthorizations, and absent a substantial increase in
FDA's annual appropriations, the agency would have lost a significant amount of funding.

In addition to user fee programs, FDAAA reauthorizes two other FDA authorities related to
prescription drugs for pediatric populations, which were also due to expire on October 1, 2007:
the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act (BPCA; P.L. 107-109) and the Pediatric Research
Equity Act (PREA; P.L. 108-155). These laws provide marketing exclusivity incentives and
requirements for studying pediatric use of drugs. FDAAA also contains provisions related to drug
safety, pediatric medical devices, clinical trial databases, the creation of a new nonprofit entity to
assist FDA with its mission, and food safety.

This report presents a detailed summary of provisions in FDAAA. Each section of the report
begins with background information about the FDA relevant to the passage of FDAAA and some
references, if appropriate, to the two bills that formed its basis (S. 1082 and H.R. 2900), and a law
that amended it (P.L. 110-316); describes FDAAA's contents; and analyzes how FDAAA changed
the law. The report also contains links to pertinent CRS reports. This report, which is intended for
reference use, will not be updated other than to reflect any technical changes that Congress might
enact.

The Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act (FDAAA; P.L. 110-85) was signed into law
on September 27, 2007. The law reauthorizes four expiring Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
programs and expands the agency's authority to ensure the safety of prescription drugs and
biologics, medical devices, and foods. FDAAA represents the most comprehensive FDA
legislation since the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA; P.L.
105-115).

The primary impetus for the legislation was the renewal of FDA's authority for two key user fee
programs that were set to expire at the end of FY2007: the Prescription Drug User Fee Act
(PDUFA, last reauthorized in 2002; P.L. 107-188), and the Medical Device User Fee and
Modernization Act (MDUFMA, enacted in 2002; P.L. 107-250). The law also reauthorizes two
other expiring authorities, which are related to pediatric pharmaceuticals: the Best
Pharmaceuticals for Children Act (BPCA, last reauthorized in 2002; P.L. 107-109), and the
Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA, enacted in 2002; P.L. 108-155).

In addition to the reauthorizations, FDAAA contains several other FDA-related provisions. These
include provisions designed to enhance drug safety, spark the development of pediatric medical
devices, expand the types of trials and the substance of information in clinical trial databases,
create a new nonprofit entity to assist FDA with its mission, improve food safety, and affect a
number of other areas related to public health. Several of FDAAA's provisions contain the
authorization to appropriate funding; these are listed in Appendix A. Many create additional
responsibilities with deadlines for federal agency personnel; see Appendix B. In addition, several
of the authorities have sunset dates in 2012 or early 2013; see Appendix C.

FDAAA's impact on FDA is important to two ongoing policy discussions. One discussion centers
around the possibility of additional legislation to refine or restructure the agency's regulatory role.
Understanding current law, as amended by FDAAA, is a good starting point for any such
discussion. The second discussion is about health care reform. The agency plays a critical role in
bringing medical products to market, which is described below. In performing that role, as refined
by FDAAA, FDA's regulation of medical products affects their quality, availability, and cost.


                              
The FDA, an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), regulates the
safety of most human foods,1 all animal feeds, and certain other products such as cosmetics.2 The
agency also regulates the safety and effectiveness of human drugs, biologics (e.g., vaccines),
medical devices, and animal drugs.3 Those products regulated for effectiveness must be reviewed
and approved by FDA before they can be placed in commerce, a process called premarket
approval. (FDA is tasked with postmarket surveillance for these products as well.) Products
regulated only for safety may enter commerce with little FDA oversight, though the agency may
inspect production facilities and require that certain good manufacturing practices be carried out.

  The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulates the safety of meat and poultry products.

Agencies: Background and Funding, coordinated by Pamela W. Smith.
3
  The regulation of biologics for animal use is overseen by the USDA.




      
                                                                                                            



FDA has the statutory authority to withdraw from commerce any product it regulates that it
determines to be unsafe.

Media coverage of issues related to the safety of food (e.g., spinach), drugs (e.g., Vioxx), and
medical devices (e.g., cardiac stents) has brought congressional attention to FDA's performance
and the funding it has available to carry out its statutory responsibilities. For those products
requiring premarket approval, a central issue for Congress is how best to balance the need for the
agency to help speed the products it regulates to market if they are safe and effective, and correct
them, or keep them from entering or staying on the market, if they are not. For human foods,
animal feeds, and other products not requiring premarket approval, key issues relate to FDA's
ability to assure product safety and protect public health by preventing health threats from
occurring, or by identifying and responding to problems quickly.


                                                          
 
Prior to the introduction of H.R. 3580, the bill enacted as FDAAA, each chamber of Congress had
passed its own version of comprehensive FDA reauthorization and reform legislation. These were
the Food and Drug Administration Revitalization Act (S. 1082), and the Food and Drug
Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (H.R. 2900). While most of the bills' provisions were
similar, S. 1082 contained some provisions that were not present in H.R. 2900 on the topics of
food safety, prescription drug importation, and domestic pet turtle market access. Of those, only
the food safety provisions were adopted in FDAAA. See Table 1 for a listing of major topics
covered in each bill.

The remaining sections of this report contain descriptions of the key FDA programs addressed in
FDAAA. FDAAA includes eleven titles, each of which is discussed below in its own section of
this report. Each section introduces the topic, surveys the ways in which new provisions changed
the law, provides links to relevant CRS reports, and presents a detailed table comparing FDAAA-
enacted provisions to any existing previous law. The one exception is Title X, Food Safety, which
is described briefly in this report, but addressed in more detail in a separate CRS report.4 In the
text and tables, the Commissioner means the FDA Commissioner, and the Secretary means the
HHS Secretary. The report uses several other acronyms as well, all of which are spelled out at
their first point of use and in Appendix D.

For clarity, the tables comparing FDAAA with previous law have the following attributes. Table
provisions are cited to their location in FDAAA. Where applicable, cites are also included for the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), the Public Health Service Act (PHSA), and the
United States Code (USC). The USC citations vary in specificity to match the citations listed in
FDAAA. When table text extends across previous and current law fields, this indicates one of two
things. If an FDAAA cite is present, FDAAA is reauthorizing or restating portions of provisions
identical to those of the prior law. If no FDAAA cite is present, a preexisting law interacts with
and is fundamental to interpreting FDAAA, but has not been amended by it.


                                                                                 

Title I of FDAAA, the Prescription Drug User Fee Amendments of 2007 (referred to as PDUFA
IV), provides a five-year extension of FDA's authority to collect user fees from manufacturers of
drug and biological products and expands the authorized uses of fee revenue.5 User fee revenue
has provided an increasing proportion of FDA funding since PDUFA was first enacted in 1992. In
FY1994, the first year FDA noted PDUFA revenue use in its budget justification documents, the
fees contributed 9.7% of the human drug program's budget. At the time of FDAAA's passage, the

  PDUFA was first enacted in 1992 in P.L. 102-571. It was reauthorized (PDUFA II) in 1997 as Title I of the Food and
Drug Administration Modernization Act (FDAMA, P.L. 105-115); and again (PDUFA III) as Title V of the Public
Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (P.L. 107-188).




      
                                                                                                            



FY2007 budget showed that PDUFA fees made up 44.7% of the agency's human drug program
budget.6

In the years leading to PDUFA's enactment in 1992, FDA, consumers, and manufacturers all
sought to shorten the time between a manufacturer's submission of an application and the
agency's decision on whether to approve the product. FDA lacked the funding for staff to review
those products quickly. With PDUFA, Congress gave FDA a revenue source to supplement direct
appropriations. Congress also structured PDUFA to restrict the use of collected funds to new
product review, and established a mechanism for agency-industry collaboration to create
performance goals that set targets, primarily for review times.

PDUFA has had a range of effects. New application review times decreased from 29 months in
1987 to 17 months in 1994.7 PDUFA's restriction of the use of fee revenue to premarket review
created what many saw as an imbalance between resources available to premarket and postmarket
activities. In its 1997 and 2002 reauthorizations, Congress gave FDA limited authority to use
some of the fees for postmarket safety activities.

During 2004 discussions in preparation for PDUFA IV, several safety problems with aggressively
marketed drugs--such as Vioxx--received wide publicity. This heightened the ongoing concern
over the balance of attention between premarket review and postapproval safety monitoring.
FDAAA reflects that increased focus on postapproval drug safety throughout, but especially in
this title, described below, and in Title IX (Enhanced Authorities Regarding Postmarket Safety of
Drugs), discussed later in this report.

Title I of FDAAA addresses types of fees, authorized fee revenue, authorized uses of fees, new
fees for the advisory review of direct-to-consumer television advertisements, reauthorization and
report requirements, and effective dates, as summarized in the following material.

Types of Fees. FDAAA reauthorizes the assessment, collection, and use of three types of fees
from manufacturers of drugs and biological products. These are application fees, establishment
fees, and product fees.

Authorized Fee Revenue. FDAAA establishes fee revenues, for each fiscal year, of
$392,783,000, with various adjustments for inflation, workload, rent and rent-related expenses,
and final-year adjustments. Congress added to that base amount fee revenues for drug safety
totaling $225 million over the five-year reauthorization.

Authorized Uses of Fees. The new law expands the list of postmarket safety activities for which
the fees could be used. These include developing and using adverse-event data-collection
systems, including information technology systems; developing and using improved analytical
tools to assess potential safety problems, including access to external data bases; and

  FDA, Third Annual Performance Report: Prescription Drug User Fee Act of 1992, Fiscal Year 1995, Report to
Congress, December 1, 1995, at http://www.fda.gov/ope/pdufa/report95.html.




      
                                                                                          



implementing and enforcing new FFDCA requirements relating to postapproval studies and
clinical trials, labeling changes, risk evaluation and mitigation strategies, and adverse event
reports and postmarket safety activities.

FDAAA also removes the calendar and time limitations on postapproval activities. When
Congress first allowed PDUFA revenue use on postmarket activities in 2002, it set a three-year
limit from the time of a drug's approval.

New Fees for Advisory Review of Advertisements. FDAAA creates a new user fee to support
FDA's advisory review of prescription-drug television advertising. The program calls for a
manufacturer to pay a fee if it voluntarily submits an advertisement for pre-dissemination review.
The review is to be advisory. The law authorizes FDA to assess fees only on manufacturers that
request such reviews. It further directs that if the Secretary has not received at least $11.25
million in fees by 120 days after enactment, the DTC advisory review user fee program shall not
commence and all collected fees shall be refunded.

Reauthorization and Report Requirements. FDAAA codifies certain core elements of the
prescription drug user fee program that, although included in PDUFA I, II, and III, were never
placed into the FFDCA. One is the requirement for annual performance and fiscal reports to
Congress. The others relate to the Secretary's interaction and communication with various
stakeholders. These include public hearings regarding the Secretary's negotiations with industry
regarding performance goals; and the requirement that the Secretary, in preparation for the next
PDUFA reauthorization, consult with congressional committees, scientific and academic experts,
health-care professionals, representatives of patient and consumer advocacy groups, and the
regulated industry to develop recommendations for PDUFA V, including goals and plans for
meeting the goals.

Effective Dates. The amendments in this title took effect on October 1, 2007. Authority to assess,
collect, and use drug fees ceases to be effective October 1, 2012. The reporting requirements
cease to be effective January 31, 2013.

Title II of FDAAA, the Medical Device User Fee Amendments of 2007 (MDUFA 2007),
reauthorizes FDA's authority to collect user fees from medical device manufacturers, and makes
certain other amendments to the regulation of devices. Congress initially gave the agency the
authority to collect such fees in 2002, with the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act
(MDUFMA; P.L. 107-250). MDUFMA established user fees for premarket applications (PMAs),8
premarket notifications (510(k)s),9 and other types of requests to market medical devices. The
2002 law incorporated, by reference, performance goals for many types of premarket device
reviews. It also enabled third-parties to conduct establishment inspections, and added new
regulatory requirements for reprocessed single-use devices.

                                                                                         ees ,noitamrofni rehtruf roF

In FY2007, when FDAAA was enacted, medical device user fees generated $35,202,000. This
represents an increase of 144.7% over the amount first collected in FY2003. In FY2007, devices
user fees comprised 9.0% of the agency's user fee revenue, and 1.8% of its total budget.10

FDA's authority to collect medical device user fees was due to expire on October 1, 2007.
Congress reauthorizes the authority in MDUFA 2007, Subtitle A. In Subtitle B, it amends some
aspects of the regulation of medical devices. The details of each of these are discussed below.


                                                                    
Subtitle A of MDUFA 2007 reauthorizes FDA's expiring authority to collect user fees through
October 1, 2012, and makes certain other changes to MDUFMA. The primary change is that
MDUFA 2007 adds three new types of user fees (annual establishment fees, registration fees, and
30-day fees). The first two are to be paid regularly by establishments with devices on the market,
generating a predictable base of device user fee income for FDA. MDUFMA had only enabled
the collection of fees for applications related to FDA's approval or clearance of a product, which
the agency had noted made the agency's user fee income difficult to predict. This was because the
number of applications could vary from year to year. The agency asserted that, by contrast, fees
paid annually would result in a revenue stream that was more reliable. This move toward a more
predictable funding stream mirrors the approach taken by PDUFA for drugs and biological
products.
8
  A PMA is generally required for new medical devices, and those that necessitate FDA's highest level of safety
controls.
9
  A 510(k) is generally required for medical devices similar to ones already on the market.

MDUFA 2007 lowers the amounts of fees paid by device manufacturers for FY2008, and then
includes a subsequent annual increase in fee amounts through FY2012. Despite the FY2008
decrease in the amounts of individual fee amounts, the total fee revenue generated will increase
from FY2007 levels; revenue lost in reduced fee amounts will be offset by revenue generated by
new types of fees.

MDUFA 2007 changes some provisions relevant to specific types of fees. Both MDUFMA and
MDUFA 2007 generally establish fee amounts for various types of activities by setting them as a
proportion of the cost of submitting a PMA. The amount charged for a PMA is therefore also
called the base fee. MDUFA 2007 strikes a provision that had required the Secretary to adjust the
premarket notification fee amount annually in a unique way, instead it sets it, like other fees, as a
percentage of the base fee amount. For a different fee, the FDAAA-created establishment fee, the
law gives the Secretary the authority to increase the fee amount in FY2010 if too few
manufacturers have paid it.

MDUFA 2007 changes the law regarding reduced fees paid by small businesses in several ways.
Under MDUFMA, entities qualifying as small businesses had certain fees waived and paid others
at a reduced rate. MDUFA 2007 further reduces the fee amounts small businesses pay, removes a
provision that the assets of partners and parent firms be considered in small business
qualification, and enables foreign firms to qualify as small businesses.

Regarding modular applications, those submitted to FDA in separate pieces, MDUFA 2007 for
the first time also affords the possibility of refunds for applications withdrawn at different points.

MDUFA 2007 extends a trigger requirement beyond FY2007 indefinitely.11 The trigger, which is
designed to ensure that user fees supplement rather than supplant direct appropriations, requires
that there be a certain amount of medical device-related direct appropriations in order for the
Secretary to assess medical device user fees and be expected to meet performance goals.

MDUFA 2007 amends a provision regarding the collection of fees in excess of the amount
authorized. The previous law required that if fees collected for a fiscal year exceed the authorized
appropriation, the excess would be subtracted from the subsequent year's authorization. By
contrast, MDUFA 2007 allows excess fees to be carried over to cover shortfalls over the course of
several years.

MDUFA 2007 amends a provision describing how FDA may use the device fees it collects. The
new provision in theory could have enabled fees to be expended on postmarket activites, but does
not appear, in practice, to have done so. It states that fees will be dedicated toward expediting the
process for the review of device applications and for assuring the safety and effectiveness of
devices, as set forth in a letter from the Secretary to relevant congressional committees
("Commitment Letter").12 It is conceivable that assuring the safety and effectiveness of devices
could be interpreted to encompass postmarket surveillance, however the Commitment Letter does
not list surveillance and enforcement activities. In addition, MDUFA 2007 maintains two separate

  The FY2007 trigger was articulated in the Medical Device User Fee Stabilization Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-43).

MDUFMA provisions that articulate and generally limit the expenditure of user fee funds to
premarket activities.13

MDUFA 2007 requires the Secretary to continue to file annual performance and fiscal reports
through FY2012, and writes these report requirements into the FFDCA. The law also requires that
the performance report include information on previous cohorts for which the Secretary had not
given a complete response.

In FDA's development of its performance goal recommendations to the Congress, MDUFA 2007
maintains MDUFMA's requirements that the agency consult with an array of groups, and take
specified steps to invite public input. Unlike the previous law, MDUFA 2007 specifies that the
recommendations be revised upon consideration of public comments, requires the
recommendations' transmittal to Congress, and writes the performance goal-related requirements
into the FFDCA.

Separate from the user fee authorizations, MDUFA 2007 authorizes the appropriation of specific
sums from FY2008 through FY2012 for the review of postmarket safety information on medical
devices. MDUFMA made similar authorizations, though no funds were appropriated.

MDUFA 2007 became effective on October 1, 2007.


                     
                  
Subtitle B of MDUFA 2007 makes various changes to the regulation of medical devices. It
extends from FY2007 through FY2012 the authority to have third parties review premarket
notifications.

Producers of devices that are marketed in the United States are required to register annually with
FDA. MDUFA 2007 restricts the period within which device producers must register with the
Secretary. It also reduces from twice to once per year the requirement that those who register with
the Secretary provide a list of devices on which they perform specific functions (e.g., the
manufacture, preparation, propagation, compounding or processing of a device).

MDUFA 2007 amends electronic registration regulations to require electronic filing as a default,
and without necessitating rulemaking by the Secretary as would have previously been required.

MDUFA 2007 amends two portions of the FFDCA's provisions regarding records and reports on
devices. First, it adds a requirement that the Secretary promulgate regulations establishing a
unique identification system for medical devices. Second, it modifies the reporting requirements
for devices linked to serious injuries or deaths.

MDUFA 2007 revises the requirements for inspections by accredited third parties in three ways.
First, it reduces administrative requirements associated with qualifying for the program. Second,
it expands participation in the program. Third, it permits device companies to voluntarily submit

13
  21 USC 379j(h)(2)(A)(ii), 379i(5). The one partial exception to the premarket general rule was the ability to expend
user fee funds on the evaluation of postmarket studies that are required as a condition of approval.




       
                                                                                       



to FDA reports by third parties assessing conformance with appropriate international quality
systems standards, such as those set by the International Standards Organization. FDA is to
consider the information in these reports in setting its inspection priorities.

MDUFA 2007 requires the Comptroller General to conduct two studies, and the FDA to conduct
one. The Comptroller General is required to conduct one study on the appropriate use of the
process under FFDCA 510(k) (premarket notification) to determine whether a device is safe and
effective. It is required to conduct a second study on nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections
associated with medical devices. The FDA is required to conduct a study on whether the
relationship between indoor tanning device use and the development of skin damage warrants a
label change for the devices.

Title III of FDAAA is the Pediatric Medical Device Safety and Improvement Act of 2007
(PMDSIA). PMDSIA was enacted based upon reports of a critical need for pediatric medical
devices that help diagnose and treat diseases and conditions affecting children. Apparently,
developing medical devices for children is less profitable and more problematic than developing
them for adults. Fewer children need medical devices than adults, and children have physical
attributes (e.g., size, biochemistry, growth rates), activities, and environmental influences that are
different from those of adults.

In order to encourage the development of the pediatric devices, PMDSIA creates some new
reporting requirements related to certain pediatric devices, offers several types of incentives to
manufacturers to create pediatric medical devices, and gives FDA the authority to require
postmarket studies of approved pediatric devices to ensure their continued efficacy and safety.

PMDSIA creates a set of reporting requirements for applications made under FFDCA 515 and
520(m).14 Section 515 governs PMAs to market class III devices (these require FDA's highest
level of safety controls). Section 520(m) governs humanitarian device exemptions (HDEs). An
HDE allows a manufacturer with a device aimed at a U.S. patient population of less than 4,000 to
market the product without having to demonstrate its effectiveness (only its safety), and to have
certain application fees waived. The exemption from proving effectiveness is designed to
encourage manufacturers to develop medical devices for these small markets, assisting patients
with rare diseases and conditions who might otherwise not be served. PMDSIA creates
requirements for both types of applications, inserting a new section, 515A, into the medical
device approval regulations.

Section 515A requires those requesting approval to market a device under 515 and 520(m) to
include, if readily available, a description of any pediatric subpopulation with the disease or
condition that the devices is intended to treat, and the number of affected pediatric patients.
Section 515A also allows the Secretary to conclude that adult data can be used to support a
reasonable assurance of effectiveness in pediatric subpopulations, as appropriate. The section also
requires the Secretary to report annually to relevant congressional committees, specified
information about pediatric devices approved in the preceding year.

PMDSIA creates one set of incentives for manufacturers to create pediatric medical devices by
making some modifications directly to the HDE. Primarily, PMDSIA exempts some specified
manufacturers of pediatric devices from the general HDE prohibition on selling a device for an
amount that exceeds its costs of research and development, fabrication, and distribution. The
exemption extends only to specified requests submitted on or before October 1, 2012. PMDSIA

14
  The requirements do not attach to premarket notifications, called 510(k)s, which require a demonstration of
substantially equivalence to a device already on the market.




       
                                                                                          



gives the Secretary specified pricing-exemption related enforcement and inspection authorities,
and creates reporting requirements for adverse events related to devices that qualify for the
pricing exemption. The law also requires the Comptroller General to submit a report to relevant
congressional committees on the impact of the pricing exemption.

Regarding funding for research on pediatric medical devices, the PMDSIA requires the Secretary
to establish a demonstration project to promote pediatric device development. The law authorizes
$6 million per year for FY2008 through FY2012 to support the demonstration grants and related
activities. The law also requires the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director to designate a
contact point to help pediatric medical device developers locate funding. In addition, it requires
the Secretary to submit a plan for expanding pediatric medical device research and development
to relevant congressional committees.

Finally, the PMDSIA incorporates certain postmarket surveillance measures related to pediatric
medical devices. It expands the conditions under which the Secretary may require postmarket
studies as a condition of approval for class II or III devices15 to include devices expected to have
significant use in pediatric subpopulations. These studies may exceed the general 36-month
limitation in duration if necessary to assess the impact of the device on pediatric populations'
growth and development. The PMDSIA also includes a related dispute resolution provision,
entitling a manufacturer to request a review, during which the device may not be deemed
misbranded except as necessary to protect public health.

     Class II and III medical devices are those that require safety controls.

FDA has approved for adult use many products never tested in children. Yet clinicians often
prescribe them for children believing that the safety and effectiveness demonstrated with adults
would hold for younger patients. However, this off-label prescribing can result in children
receiving products that do not work for them, or receiving too much or too little of a potentially
useful drug. Studies show that, depending on the maturation and development of a child's organs
and other factors, some drugs vary in how long they stay in the body, affecting their usefulness.
Some side effects are unique to children or children of specific ages, including effects on growth
and development.16

Recognizing the obstacles (which could be economic, ethical, legal, or mechanical) that make
manufacturers reluctant to conduct research to address these questions, FDA and Congress
developed two approaches to facilitate pediatric research. FDAAA continues both programs. The
first, the Pediatric Research Equity Act (FDAAA Title IV, discussed in this section) is a
mandatory program that requires pediatric assessments as part of every new application regarding
a new ingredient, indication, dosage form, dosing regimen, or route of administration. The
second, the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act (FDAAA Title V, discussed in the following
section of this report) is voluntary, offering a six-month marketing exclusivity for a product in
return for pediatric studies.

In 1998, FDA published the Pediatric Rule, which mandated that manufacturers submit pediatric
testing data, referred to as a pediatric assessment, at the time of all new drug applications. In
2002, a federal court declared the rule invalid, holding that FDA lacked the statutory authority to
promulgate it.17 Congress gave FDA that authority with the enactment of the Pediatric Research
Equity Act of 2003 (PREA; P.L. 108-155). PREA requirements cover all drug and biological
product applications or supplements to applications concerning a new active ingredient, new
indication, new dosage form, new dosing regiment, or new route of administration. The Act
includes provisions for deferrals and waivers. PREA also authorizes the Secretary to require the
sponsor of an already approved and marketed drug or biological product to submit a pediatric
assessment based on criteria described in the law.

The Pediatric Research Equity Act of 2007, Title IV of FDAAA, reauthorizes PREA, amending it
to strengthen standards for required tests, explanation of deferrals, labeling, and publicly
accessible information. PREA now requires the Secretary to establish an internal committee,
composed of FDA employees with specified expertise, to participate in the review of pediatric
plans and assessments, deferrals, and waivers. The law requires the Secretary to track assessments
and labeling changes and to make that information publicly accessible; establishes a dispute

resolution procedure, which allows the Commissioner, after specified steps, to deem a drug to be
misbranded if a manufacturer refuses to make a requested labeling change; and includes review
and reporting reporting requirements for adverse events.

PREA requires reports from both the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the Government
Accountability Office (GAO). It also continues to link the program's authorization to the five-
year authority FDAAA provides to the pediatric exclusivity program. (See discussion of FDAAA
Title V in the next section of this report.)

Title V of FDAAA reauthorizes and changes legislation first passed in 1997. As part of the FDA
Modernization Act of 1997 (P.L. 105-115), Congress provided drug manufacturers with a
financial incentive to conduct pediatric use studies on their patented products. The "Pediatric
Studies of Drugs" provision provided that if a manufacturer complied with a written FDA request
for a specific pediatric study, FDA would add six months to its market exclusivity for that
product.18 This tool is the second approach that FDA and Congress have taken to encouraging
pediatric drug research, the other, required pediatric assessments of new products, is discussed in
the preceding section of this report regarding FDAAA Title IV.

In 2002, the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act (BPCA 2002; P.L. 107-109) reauthorized the
exclusivity provisions for another five years. It also added provisions to encourage pediatric
research of products that were no longer covered by patent or other marketing exclusivity
agreements, to which pediatric exclusivity was not relevant. It required the Secretary to list those
off-patent products for which pediatric studies are needed to assess safety and effectiveness. It
also established an off-patent research fund at NIH (PHSA 409I) and authorized appropriations of
$200 million for FY2002 and such sums as are necessary for each of the five years until the
provisions were set to sunset on October 1, 2007.

For on-patent drugs whose manufacturers declined FDA's written requests for studies (and,
therefore, exclusivity), BPCA 2002 amended FFDCA 505A to allow FDA to refer drugs needing
pediatric studies to the Foundation for the NIH (FNIH, PHSA 499), creating a second program of
FDA-NIH collaboration.19

Other provisions in the 2002 BPCA included giving priority status to pediatric supplemental
applications; the establishment of an FDA Office of Pediatric Therapeutics (OPT); the definition
of pediatric age groups to include neonates; and a direction to the Secretary to contract with the
IOM for a review of regulations, federally prepared or supported reports, and federally supported
evidence-based research, all relating to clinical research involving children. The IOM report to
Congress was also to include recommendations on best practices relating to research involving
children.20

Title V of FDAAA again reauthorizes the pediatric exclusivity program, amending FFDCA 505A
to sunset on October 1, 2012. It also encourages research on off-patent products, strengthens the


18
   During that six-month period, FDA would not grant marketing approval to another identical product (usually a
generic).

   The Foundation supports the research mission of NIH using public-private partnerships; see http://www.fnih.org/
aboutus/aboutus.shtml.

Children (Washington, DC: National Academies Press, 2004), done with funding from NIH and FDA.




       
                                                                                          



requirements for labeling changes based on the results of pediatric use studies, and provides for
the reporting of adverse events.

FDAAA authorizes the Secretary to grant additional marketing exclusivity, for both new drugs
and drugs already on the market, only after a sponsor has completed and reported on the studies
that the Secretary has requested in writing, including appropriate formulations of the drug for
each age group of interest, and after any appropriate labeling changes are approved, all within the
agreed upon time frames. An applicant who turns down a request on the grounds that developing
appropriate pediatric formulations of the drug is not possible must provide evidence to support
that claim.

The new law requires that the sponsor propose pediatric labeling resulting from the studies. For a
product studied under this section, the labeling must include study results and the Secretary's
determination whether those results demonstrate the drug's safety and effectiveness (if the results
do or do not indicate safety and effectiveness, or if they are inconclusive). The product sponsor
must disseminate labeling change information to health care providers, and the Commissioner
must report to the Secretary on the review of all adverse event reports and recommendations on
actions in response. Other provisions of the law set time frames for the actions it requires.

Public notice requirements are expanded beyond the current notice of an exclusivity decision to
include copies of the written request. The Secretary must also publicly identify any drug with a
developed pediatric formulation that studies had demonstrated to be safe and effective for
children that an applicant has not introduced onto the market within one year.

A new dispute resolution process includes referral to the Pediatric Advisory Committee. The
internal review committee, which FDAAA Title IV requires the Secretary to establish, must
review all written requests. The Secretary, with that committee, must track all pediatric studies
and labeling changes according to specified questions.

Other provisions require applicants to submit, along with the report of requested studies, all
postmarket adverse event reports regarding that drug; refine study scope to allow the Secretary to
include preclinical studies; and except from exclusivity any drug with another exclusivity that is
to expire in less than nine months.

FDAAA amends PHSA Section 409I (as discussed earlier), which required that the Secretary,
through the NIH Director and in consultation with the Commissioner and pediatric research
experts, list approved drugs for which pediatric studies are needed to assess safety and
effectiveness. It changes the specifications from an annual list of approved drugs to a list, revised
every three years, of priority study needs in pediatric therapeutics, including drugs or indications.

If the Secretary determines there is a need for pediatric information for a drug for which pediatric
studies have not been completed, the Secretary must either issue a proposal to award a grant to
conduct such studies, if funds are available through FNIH, or refer the drug for inclusion on the
list established under PHSA Section 409I. FDAAA also requires reports from the IOM and the
GAO.

The provisions in Title V of FDAAA make up the following two tables: the first addressing
amendments to FFDCA, the second relating to PHSA.

Title VI of FDAAA adds new FFDCA Sections 770, 771, and 772 requiring the establishment of
the Reagan-Udall Foundation for the Food and Drug Administration (the Foundation), a nonprofit
corporation to advance FDA's mission regarding product development, innovation, and safety.
The initial Board of Directors (the Commissioner, and the directors of NIH, CDC, and AHRQ) is
to select the appointed members from a National Academy of Sciences-provided candidate list
and then resign from the board. The ongoing board is to include representatives from industry,
academic research organizations, government agencies, patient or consumer advocacy
organizations, and health care providers.

FDAAA directs the Foundation to establish goals and priorities relating to unmet needs and then
coordinate with federal programs, and award grants, contracts, and other agreements with public
and private individuals and entities to advance those goals. Title VI directs the Commissioner to
transfer between $500,000 and $1,250,000 to the Foundation from FDA appropriations each year.


    
FDAAA added a new FFDCA Section 910 that requires the Secretary to establish an Office of the
Chief Scientist within the FDA Office of the Commissioner. Among the duties of the Secretary-
appointed Chief Scientist would be to oversee, coordinate, and ensure quality and regulatory
focus of FDA's intramural research programs.


      
A new FFDCA Section 566 authorizes the Secretary, through the Commissioner, to enter into
collaborative agreements (Critical Path Public-Private Partnerships) with eligible educational or
tax-exempt organizations to implement the FDA Critical Path Initiative. The agreements are to
develop innovative, collaborative projects in research, education, and outreach for the purpose of
fostering medical product innovation, enabling the acceleration of medical product development,
and enhancing medical product safety.

The provision specifies the expertise and experience required of a partner entity. It requires the
Secretary to submit an annual report to the authorizing congressional committees, and authorizes
to be appropriated $5 million for FY2008 and such sums as may be necessary for each of FY2009
through FY2012.

Title VII of FDAAA, Conflicts of Interest, contains provisions that revise FDA's approach to
advisory committee members' conflicts of interest. FDA uses advisory committees to provide the
agency with independent advice from outside experts on issues related to human and veterinary
drugs, biological products, medical devices, and food. Advisory committees make
recommendations to FDA, which FDA may or may not follow. To be credible and useful, many
say that FDA must eliminate or reduce conflicts of interest in its committees. However, others
note that the most expert members in the field are often those involved directly or indirectly in the
activities about which FDA is seeking advice, creating the potential for such conflicts. In 2006
and 2007, the media reported that FDA advisory committees are biased in favor of drug approval,
and that many committee members have conflicts of interest.21

Prior to the passage of FDAAA, the law generally required that committee members be free from
conflicts of interest, but allowed for exceptions to that rule under specific circumstances. A
conflict of interest might have required a potential committee member to disclose the conflict,
refrain from voting, and/or not participate in a committee, depending on the nature of the conflict.
The law was articulated primarily in three locations: (1) the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
USC Appendix; FACA); (2) the FDA advisory committee policy (21 USC 355(n)), which applied
only to trials of drugs and biologics--not devices; and (3) a law governing special government
employees--such as advisory committee members--Acts Affecting Personal Financial Interest
(18 USC 208).

FDAAA inserts a new provision into Chapter VII, Subchapter A, of the FFDCA, effective
October 1, 2007. The provision changes both the process of recruiting advisory committee
members, as well as some circumstances under which and processes by which conflict-of-interest
waivers may be granted. The new provisions repeal 21USC 355(n), but move much of its
substance to a new location; the effect is that the requirements previously only applicable to drug
and biologic advisory committees apply to committees providing advice on all types of products
that FDA regulates.

FDAAA defines an advisory committee as a FACA-covered entity that provides the Secretary
with advice and recommendations regarding activities of the FDA, and defines financial interest
as defined under 18 USC 208(a). This definition covers activities such as a person's or their
family members' current or future employment, trusteeship, or directorship. On its face, it does
not apply to activities such as stock ownership, former employment, or receipt of a grant or
contract, although FDA's regulations do require disclosure of these types of activities.

FDAAA requires advisory committee member recruitment mechanisms to be focused on reaching
experts from areas such as academia, medical research institutions, and public interest and

consumer groups. It also discourages the number of permissible exceptions to the financial
conflict rules, such as the use of waivers or written certifications.

FDAAA requires advisory committee members' full financial disclosure prior to a meeting on a
related matter. It precludes participation by a member with a conflict of interest unless exempted
by the Office of Government Ethics. The Act also allows a waiver of the voting restriction if
necessary to provide the committee with essential expertise.

FDAAA restricts the percentage of committees' membership that may consist of people who have
received one of three types of exceptions to the financial conflict prohibitions: (1) waivers
granted by the Secretary under newly created FDAAA provisions, (2) written determinations
under 18 USC 208(b)(1), and (3) written certifications under 208(b)(3). The Secretary is required
to determine the number and proportion of advisory members who received exceptions in
FY2007. For FY2008 through FY2012, the Secretary must reduce the proportion of excepted
members by an additional 5% per year from the FY2007 number. This limitation does not apply
to financial interest exemptions made under 18 USC 208(b)(2).

FDAAA requires public disclosures for conflict-of-interest determinations, certifications, and
waivers (but not 208(b)(2) exemptions), except for those exempted from disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act of 1974 (5 USC 522). It requires the Secretary to submit annual
reports regarding advisory committee membership and conflict-of-interest waivers. It also
requires the Secretary to review and update FDA conflict-of-interest guidance not less than once
every five years.

Title VIII of FDAAA, Clinical Trial Databases, expands requirements for the registration of
clinical trials, and adds requirements for the publication of their results. The text of the title was
arrived at after extensive discussions, which required an understanding of the nature of scientific
inquiry and medical product development.

Scientific inquiry is, at its best, an objective exercise in which results are not pre-ordained, and all
valid findings are published. Medical product development depends upon traditional scientific
methods, and product sponsors are typically business enterprises. Prior to marketing, product
sponsors are required to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of their products, typically
through clinical trials. However, both sponsors and medical journals may be reluctant to publish
the results of trials that fail to show that products perform better than a placebo, or that raise too
many safety concerns. In 2004, Congress and others raised questions about the safety and
effectiveness of several FDA-approved products (e.g., antidepressants, anti-inflammatory drugs,
and cardiac stents) about which unfavorable trial results had not been publicly disclosed.22 The
issue of public access to all trial results, regardless of their findings, then gained significant
traction.

Prior to the enactment of FDAAA, clinical trial registration was required at the outset of certain
clinical trials testing drugs to treat life-threatening diseases or conditions. This requirement was
criticized because it did not mandate the registration of a broader range of trials, because it
contained no enforcement mechanism, and because it did not require the posting of trial results.
Title VIII of FDAAA contains provisions related to all three criticisms.

FDAAA's provisions apply to trials involving not only drugs, but also devices and biologics. The
Act includes requirements pertaining to most clinical trials beyond Phase I. In general, FDAAA
requires that specified information be submitted by the trial's responsible party (RP; usually the
trial sponsor), to the NIH Director. Following submission, the NIH Director is to make the
information publicly available via the Internet, with specified exceptions. Enforcement
mechanisms are provided for noncompliant RPs. For the purpose of carrying out the clinical trials
database provisions, FDAAA authorizes $10,000,000 for each fiscal year. Further details of the
way that FDAAA amends current law are discussed below, in subsections entitled Registry;
Results; Coordination, Compliance, and Enforcement; and Other Items.


¢
FDAAA requires the expansion of the existing data bank (clinicaltrials.gov, which is hosted by
the National Library of Medicine) to include the registration of applicable drug, device, and
biologics trials as described above. Submissions for the registry are to include four types of
material: descriptive information about the trial, recruitment information for potential subjects,

trial location and contact information, and administrative data, such as protocol identification
numbers. The information required by FDAAA includes and expands upon that required under
previous law, as well as elements of the World Health Organization's International Clinical Trials
Registry Platform registration data set.23 The Secretary may modify these requirements by
regulation.

In making the information public, the NIH Director is to ensure that it is searchable in a number
of specified ways. The Director is also to ensure that the registry is easily used by the public, and
that entries may be easily compared.

FDAAA generally requires the RP to submit information to the NIH Director within 21 days after
the first patient is enrolled in the trial. This requirement is similar to the one that existed
previously. The NIH Director is required to post information about drug and biologics trials not
later than 30 days after the information is submitted by the RP. In contrast, for device trials,
information is to be posted not earlier than the date of FDA approval or clearance, and not later
than 30 days after approval or clearance.

The RP for an applicable clinical trial is required to submit updates to the NIH Director to reflect
changes to registry information. The Director is to make the update information publicly available
and generally ensure that previously submitted information remains accessible.



Previous law allowed for the inclusion of results information with the consent of the trial sponsor,
but did not require it. FDAAA requires the Secretary, acting through the NIH Director, to expand
the registry to include results of applicable clinical trials and to ensure that the results are made
publicly available via the Internet. Three categories of results information are to be added
according to the following timeframe. First, beginning 90 days after FDAAA enactment, the
Secretary is to ensure that the registry contains links to specified existing results. Second, within
one year after FDAAA enactment, the Secretary, acting through the NIH Director, is to expand
the registry to include specified basic results. Third, within three years after FDAAA enactment,
the Secretary is to add information to create an expanded registry and results data bank by
rulemaking.

The first type of results to be made available in the registry, existing results, consists of links to
existing FDA and NIH documentation. These results must be posted for clinical trials that form
the primary basis of an efficacy claim or are conducted after product approval or clearance. Links
to this information are to be posted not earlier than 30 days after the approval or clearance of the
product, or not later than 30 days after the information becomes publicly available.

The second type of results to be made available in the registry, basic results, consists of
demographic, outcome, and scientific point of contact information, as well as agreements that
restrict the principal investigator (PI) to publicly discuss or publish results. These results must be
submitted for products that FDA has approved, licensed, or cleared. The RP is to submit basic

index.html.




   
                                                                                         



results information to the Secretary within one year following the earlier of the estimated or
actual completion date of the trial, with certain exceptions.

The third type of results information, expanded registry and results, is to be submitted to and
made available in the registry pursuant to rulemaking. Rulemaking is to occur within three years
of FDAAA enactment. Rulemaking is to require the submission of clinical trial information for
approved or cleared products, and is to determine whether results information for unapproved
products should be included as well. The expanded registry and results database is to include
basic results, as well as: (1) a non-technical summary of results; (2) a technical summary of
results; (3) protocol information; and (4) such other categories the Secretary determines are
appropriate.

FDAAA directs the Secretary to promulgate a second set of regulations regarding adverse event
reporting. Not later than 18 months after FDAAA enactment, the Secretary is to determine the
best method for including appropriate information on serious and frequent adverse events in the
registry and results database. If the Secretary fails to take action within 24 months after FDAAA
enactment, the Secretary must include specified adverse-event related elements in the registry and
results database. As amended by P.L. 110-316, FDAAA's adverse event reporting requirements
apply to drugs, biologics, and medical devices. The House passed a measure that would expand it
to devices as well.24

An RP may voluntarily submit information about trials that are not required for submission if the
RP has made submissions for all required trials. If necessary to protect public health, the
Secretary may require the submission of additional registry and results information.


                         
The former registry law did not contain any specific compliance or enforcement measures. By
contrast, FDAAA contains four sets of enforcement and compliance requirements, and specifies
civil penalties for noncompliance. One set attaches to federal grant funding. A second set of
compliance requirements must be met when submitting a drug, biological product, or device
submission to the FDA. A third set of FDAAA requirements specifies that clinical trial
information submitted by the RP must be truthful and not misleading in any particular. Under a
fourth set of requirements, the NIH Director is to include a notification in the database if an RP
fails to submit required clinical trials registry or results information.

Previous law did not specify penalties or enforcement mechanisms related to registry
requirements. Previous law contained general mechanisms for enforcing compliance with FDA
requirements that may have been applicable, but which FDA never used for registry requirement
violations. FDAAA amends the prohibited acts section of the FFDCA, to clarify that the clinical
trial databases provisions are enforceable. FDAAA also amends the FFDCA's civil monetary
penalty provisions, articulating those for noncompliance with the clinical trial database
requirements.

FDAAA contains a few additional provisions pertaining to informed consent, state clinical trial
databases, and FFDCA violations. It requires the Secretary to update investigational new drug
regulations so that informed consent includes a statement that clinical trial information has been
or will be submitted for inclusion in the registry databank. Previous law contained informed
consent requirements, but none specific to the registry.

The Act prohibits any state or political subdivision from requiring the registration of clinical trials
or their results in a database. It also specifies that the fact of submission of off-label use clinical
trial information, if in compliance with revised registry and results database requirements, is not
to be construed as evidence of a new intended use. In addition, the availability of compliant
database submissions is not to be considered as labeling, adulteration, or misbranding under the
FFDCA.

Title IX of FDAAA gives the FDA new authorities to ensure drug safety and effectiveness. These
build on decades of incremental additions to FDA's regulatory scope and its ability to identify
drug safety problems and to correct or minimize them.

Since the 1938 passage of the FFDCA, the manufacturer of a new drug has had to demonstrate to
FDA the product's safety before the agency would approve it for marketing in the United States.
In 1962, the Harris-Kefauver Amendments to the FFDCA added product effectiveness to the
premarket requirements. FDA cannot assert that any drug is completely safe. Instead, it considers
whether, given the available information, the drug is safe enough when used correctly by the
types of individuals and for the diseases or conditions for which it was tested. FDA and others
must remain alert to new information as those drugs are used more widely because, until a very
large number of individuals have taken a drug, a rare adverse effect may not occur or a very
common condition may not be recognized as drug-associated.

Prior to FDAAA, the law allowed FDA to require a postmarket study as a condition of its initial
approval of a marketing application, but did not authorize FDA to add such requirements after
approval. The law did not allow FDA to require that manufacturers submit drug advertising
material for review or approval before dissemination. Neither did it provide for civil penalties,
authorizing only the revocation of approval or licensing (or the threat of revocation) to compel
manufacturers to change labeling or advertising.


                     
Subtitle A includes various provisions regarding postmarket studies and surveillance of human
drugs. Its provisions do not apply to veterinary drugs.

    
FDAAA authorizes the Secretary, under specified conditions after a drug is on the market, to
require a study or a clinical trial. The Secretary may determine the need for such a study or trial
based on newly acquired information. To require a postapproval study or trial, the Secretary must
determine that (1) other reports or surveillance would not be adequate, and (2) the study or trial
would assess a known serious risk or signals of serious risk, or identify a serious risk. The law
directs the Secretary regarding dispute resolution procedures.

 
FDAAA authorizes the Secretary, upon learning of new relevant safety information, to require a
labeling change. It also creates procedures, including time limits, for notification, review, dispute
resolution, and violation, regarding labeling change requirements.


   
                                                                                         



    
FDAAA authorizes the Secretary to require, under specified conditions, a risk evaluation and
mitigation strategy (REMS) at the time of a new application, after initial approval or licensing
when a new indication or other change is introduced, or when the Secretary becomes aware of
new information and determines a REMS is necessary. Any approved REMS must include a
timetable of assessments.

The Secretary may include requirements regarding instructions to patients and clinicians, and
restrictions on distribution or use (and a system to monitor their implementation). The law allows
a waiver from REMS restrictions on distribution or use for certain medical countermeasures in
the time of a declared public health emergency, and creates a mechanism to assure access to a
drug with a REMS for off-label use for a serious or life-threatening disease or condition.

FDA practice has long included most of the elements that a REMS may include. FDAAA gives
FDA, through the REMS process, the authority for structured follow-through, dispute resolution,
and enforcement. These include required reviews of approved REMS at specified times initially
and then as the Secretary determines; detailed procedures for the review of both proposed REMS
and required or voluntary assessments or modifications; establishment of a Drug Safety Oversight
Board; and evaluation of whether the various REMS elements assure safe use of a drug, and
whether they limit patient access or place an undue burden on the health care system.


 
FDAAA expands the definition of misbranding to include the failure to comply with certain
requirements regarding REMS, postmarket studies and clinical trials, and labeling. It establishes
civil monetary penalties for violations of those requirements. The maximum for one violation is
$250,000, up to $1 million for all violations within one adjudication proceeding. The law
describes escalating penalties, based on continuing violations and efforts at correction, up to $10
million in a single proceeding.

                
FDAAA creates a new FFDCA Section 503B to authorize the Secretary to require submission of a
television advertisement to the Secretary for review before its dissemination. Based on this
review, during which the Secretary may consider the impact the drug might have on specific
population groups (such as older and younger individuals, or racial and ethnic minorities), the
Secretary may recommend, but not require, changes in the ad. The law authorizes the Secretary to
require that an ad include certain disclosures without which the Secretary determines that the ad
would be false or misleading. These disclosures concern information about a serious risk listed in
a drug's labeling, and the date of a drug's approval.

An amendment to the FFDCA requires that television and radio ads present the required
information on side effects and contraindications in a clear, conspicuous, and neutral manner
(Section 502(n)).

A new FFDCA Section 303(g) establishes civil penalties for the dissemination of a false or
misleading direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertisement. The amount is limited to $250,000 for the




   
                                                                                                          



first violation in any three-year period, and to $500,000 for each subsequent violation in that
period.

FDAAA requires a study by the FDA Advisory Committee on Risk Communication and a report
to Congress from the Secretary regarding DTC advertising and its communication of health
information and its effect on information access and health disparities among population subsets.


                                       
FDAAA directs the Secretary to collaborate with public, academic, and private entities to develop
a postmarket risk identification and analysis system using electronic databases. Detailed
provisions require the Secretary to protect individually identifiable health information; consult the
Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee; communicate with key stakeholders;
coordinate with other drug safety data sources; and report to Congress. FDAAA authorizes the
appropriation of $25 million for each of FY2008 through FY2012 in addition to funds available
under PDUFA for these activities.


                      
Various sections of Title IX of FDAAA, in addition to those described above, address the
provision of health information. One required report to Congress must address how best to
communicate risks and benefits to the public, including the use of REMS and whether to use a
unique symbol in the labeling of a new drug or indication. Any published25 DTC prescription
drug advertisement must include a statement encouraging the reporting of negative side effects to
FDA, along with a 1-800 number and website address. The Secretary must submit a report to
Congress after studying whether the statement in printed advertisements is appropriate for
television advertisements.

     
FDAAA authorizes increased appropriations to support components of the drug safety provisions.
For the surveillance and assessment activities, the Secretary may use $25 million of PDUFA fees
each year to carry out those activities. For REMS and other drug safety activities in this title, the
new law increases the revenue authorized under PDUFA by an additional $225 million over the
period FY2008 through FY2012, and designates its use for drug safety activities.


                                                                        ¢
 
The provisions in Subtitle B of FDAAA Title IX address topics related to drug safety. The first
section requires the Secretary to issue guidance for the conduct of clinical trials of antibiotic
drugs; and convene a public meeting regarding orphan antibiotic products. A few sections address
the physical security of drug products, such as requiring the Secretary to develop standards and
technology to protect the drug supply chain against counterfeit and damaged drugs.

25
  FDAAA does not define the term "published." In general, it appears to apply to printed, rather than broadcast,
advertisements.




       
                                                                                                       



Other sections address communication with the public, expert committees, and others, about
agency actions and plans. The Secretary must develop and maintain an Internet Web site with
extensive drug safety information, and publish a list of all authorized generic drugs. The
Secretary must provide public access to action packages for product approval or licensure,26
including certain reviews; and establish an Advisory Committee on Risk Communication. The
Secretary must refer an application for a new active ingredient to an FDA advisory committee or
include in the action letter reasons for not doing so. FDAAA requires that the Secretary report on
FDA's implementation of its plan to respond to recommendations in the IOM 2006 report The
Future of Drug Safety.

The Secretary must also screen weekly the Adverse Event Reporting System database and report
quarterly regarding new safety information or potential signals of a serious risk; report on
procedures for addressing ongoing postmarket safety issues identified by the Office of
Surveillance and Epidemiology; and annually review the backlog of postmarket safety
commitments, report to Congress, and set relevant dates.

Finally, FDAAA prohibits the use in food of certain drugs or biological products, and prohibits
the Secretary from delaying the review of generic drug applications on the basis of certain citizen
petitions. P.L. 110-316 amended the FDAAA provision, adding the requirement that consideration
of petitions be separate and apart from review and approval of any application.




26
  An action package is the compilation of FDA-generated documents, from the submission to final action, related to
review of an NDA or efficacy supplement; documents pertaining to the format and content of the application generated
during drug development; and labeling submitted by the applicant (FDA, "Action Packages for NDAs and Efficacy
Supplements," at http://www.fda.gov/cder/mapp/6020.8.pdf).

Title X of FDAAA, entitled Food Safety, contains provisions designed to enhance FDA's
authority and responsibilities to ensure the safety of the food supply. These were added to
FDAAA after several widely reported outbreaks of food-borne illness that affected hundreds of
individuals. In response, many members of Congress expressed concern about both domestic and
imported food products and whether the current food safety system is adequate for handling the
current globalized food supply.

As enacted, FDAAA requires the Secretary to establish processing and ingredient standards,
update labeling requirements for pet food, and establish an early warning and surveillance system
to identify adulteration and outbreaks of illness associated with pet food. The Secretary is to work
with states to improve the safety of produce and strengthen state food safety programs. The Act
requires the creation of a registry for reportable information on foods (including human and
animal products) with safety problems that allows for the identification of the supply chain of the
reportable food. Alerts are to be issued for such foods, with records maintained and available for
inspection. Additional provisions require attention to aquaculture and seafood inspection,
environmental risks associated with genetically engineered seafood products, imported foods,
pesticide monitoring and ginseng dietary supplements.

Title XI of FDAAA, entitled Other Provisions, contains provisions relating to a number of topics.
It is divided into two subtitles. Subtitle A--In General covers a range of topics: FDA employee
publications, tropical disease treatments, genetic tests, NIH, and severability of FDAAA. Subtitle
B--Antibiotic Access and Innovation focuses solely on that issue. Both are discussed below.


                           
The first topic addressed in Subtitle A is agency clearance of employee scientific publications.
The Secretary is required to establish and make publicly available clear written policies to
implement the publication provisions. For FDA officers or employees who are directed by policy
to obtain agency review or clearance prior to their work's publication or presentation, FDAAA
provides a timeline for such review or clearance. Nothing in the policy is to be construed as
affecting any restrictions on publication or presentation provided by other law.

The second topic addressed in Subtitle A is the introduction of a priority review voucher as an
incentive to develop medical products that treat tropical diseases. Qualifying diseases are those



   
                                                                                                 



listed in the law, and any other infectious disease the Secretary designates by regulation. Diseases
designated by regulation must disproportionately affect poor and marginalized populations, and
must have treatments with no significant market in developed nations. The FDAAA provision
adds a new use to the older FDA priority review mechanism. Rather than (or in addition to)
providing the possible financial benefit of priority review to a sponsor for its tropical disease
product application, FDAAA directs FDA to reward that sponsor for developing that product by
giving it a priority review voucher that it can use for any one proposed subsequent product that
would not otherwise qualify for priority review. The new provision further alters FDA's priority
review mechanism by allowing the tropical disease product sponsor to transfer the voucher,
including by sale, to another entity. The Secretary is to establish a user fee program and set the
fee amounts for sponsors of human drug applications that are the subject of a priority review
voucher.

The third topic addressed is the regulation of genetic testing. FDAAA requires that, if the
specified Secretary's Advisory Committee does not complete and submit its report and
recommendations regarding regulation and oversight of genetic testing to the Secretary by July
2008, the Secretary is to enter into a contract with the IOM to conduct a study and issue a report
on the topic.

The fourth topic consists of technical amendments to sections of the PHSA (42 USC 201 et seq.),
making five changes. Though the section is titled "NIH Technical Amendments," the first
provision does not apply to NIH, but is rather a correction to P.L. 109-417, the Pandemic and All-
Hazards Preparedness Act, and applies to the hospital preparedness program administered by the
HHS Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response. The provision amends PHSA Section
319C-2 to make appropriate reference to the applicable funding formula for hospital preparedness
and surge capacity grants.27 The second provision adds minority health disparities to the types of
data that the NIH Director is to assemble to assess research priorities. The third provision adds
postdoctoral training funded through research grants to the list of research activities that the NIH
Director is required to catalog in a biennial report to Congress. The fourth provision designates
PHSA 403C (relating to the drug diethylstilbestrol) as 403D. The fifth provision specifies that
each institution that receives an NIH award for training graduate students under its subchapter
(PHSA, Title IV, Part A) need only report to NIH information regarding postdoctoral training
funded through research grants, and not each degree-granting program at the institution. It further
indicates that leaves of absence are to be subtracted when calculating the average time between
graduate study and receipt of a doctoral degree.

The fifth topic addressed is severability. It directs that if any provision of FDAAA is found to be
unconstitutional, the remainder of the Act shall remain in effect.


                                        
FDAAA addresses antibiotic access and innovation by amending both the FFDCA and the PHSA.
It also requires a GAO report assessing the effect of these provisions.

Under separate sections of the FFDCA, FDA both regulates antibiotics and provides incentives
for the development of orphan drugs. FDAAA links those approaches by amending the Orphan
27

Changes to Preexisting Law, by Sarah A. Lister and Frank Gottron.




       
                                                                                      



Drug Act to require the Commissioner to consider (including convening a public meeting) which
serious and life-threatening infectious diseases might be designated as rare diseases. If
appropriate, the Secretary, by issuing new guidance, could designate product development
activities for those diseases as qualifying for grants and contracts under the Orphan Drug Act.
FDAAA also extends the Secretary's authority to issue grants and contracts for orphan drug
development, and authorizes the appropriation of $30 million for each of FY2008 through
FY2012.

FDAAA also adds a new subsection to FFDCA that allows a sponsor to consider as the same
active ingredient a specific kind of chemical variant (a non-racemic drug) of an ingredient in an
approved (racemic) drug. In addition, a separate provision of the law amends the PHSA to require
the Secretary, through the Commissioner, to make publicly available clinically susceptible
concentrations of bacteria (amounts that characterize the level of bacterial susceptibility and
resistance to a drug).

The following chart contains a listing of FDAAA action items with deadlines for government
officials. It is broken down by FDAAA title. Within each title, action items are listed by deadline.
More detailed information regarding each of the items in the chart is available in the section of
this report that corresponds to the title in which it is listed.

The following notes may be helpful to the reader. First, the chart includes federal agency
personnel deadlines with specific dates only. It does not list deadlines for action by non-
governmental personnel, though FDAAA includes many of these. Neither does it list required
actions for federal agency personnel that have no specific deadlines, though FDAAA contains
many of these as well. Second, for user ease, the title of the person required to take action is
bolded. Third, for items that require action at regular intervals (such as annual reports), only the
initial item is listed by date. The requirement for recurrence is specified in the text.
