In the United States, physicians may prescribe pharmaceuticals and medical devices for uses other than their approved or cleared indications. This practice is known as off-label use. For some disease states, off-label use of products is widely recognized and may even constitute the standard of care. Despite this practice, manufacturers are prohibited from promoting their products for off-label uses. In recent years, this prohibition has raised questions with respect to free speech protections, scientific exchange and an ever-evolving demand for up-to-date information by the medical community and general public. This presentation will highlight recent changes in the off-label landscape, discuss impact on promotional review practices and scientific communications and include tips to prevent regulatory and compliance violations.
Topics to be covered will include:
- Recent changes in the off-label landscape
- Recent off-label court cases
- State law developments
- Recent FDA guidance
- Draft guidance: medical product communications that are consistent with FDA-required labeling (Jan 2017)
- Draft guidance: drug and device manufacturer communications with payors, formulary committees and similar entities (Jan 2017)
- 21st Century cures act - changes to FDAMA 114
- Delay of intended use rule
- Impact on promotional review practices and scientific communications
- Hypothetical for group discussion
- Tips to prevent violations
- Examination of processes
- Auditing and monitoring practices
