On Monday, April 20, 2015, the afternoon prior to the ISPE Quality Metrics Summit, Lachman Consultant Services will be presenting a training session on Data Integrity. The training session will be held in the Severn 1 meeting room of the Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel in Baltimore (the same hotel as the ISPE Quality Metrics Summit), and will be followed by Q&A and a networking reception.
Continuing in a series of posts on the Proposed ANDAA/505(b)(2) Rule, we cover some new requirements for making proper certification and notice of such that are being proposed in the Rule.
Kent Johnson, former Deputy Director of the Office of Generic Drugs (OGD) and perhaps the biggest influence on the labeling review process since the passage of the Hatch-Waxman Act believes that the proposed labeling rule is bad for patients and pharmacists and will only cause confusion in the marketplace.
This edition of the Proposed Rule saga covers a few more interesting issues. The rule-which was 11 years in the making (longer than the final Hatch-Waxman rule on the patent and exclusivity provisions of the Act, which was10 years in the making) really tightens up some of the long-established practices of the Agency and explains why the FDA is taking the actions that it is. Makes for good reading, but make sure you have your toothpicks ready to prop open your eyes. We are just through page 120 of the 300+ pages.

The ANDA and 505(b)(2) Proposed Rule, that (due to its length) we like to call Moby Dick, addresses a plethora of issues of importance to the generic industry, and we are trying to tackle many of them in multiple posts. This is a continuation of that effort.
On Monday, April 20, 2015, the afternoon prior to the ISPE Quality Metrics Summit, Lachman Consultant Services will be presenting a forum on Data Integrity. The forum will be held in the BALLROOM NAME, the same hotel as the ISPE Quality Metrics Summit, and will be followed by Q&A and a networking and cocktail reception.
Another month and another report of the approval actions of the Office of Generic Drugs (OGD) for our reader’s review
The FDA issued an update to warnings about use of testosterone replacement products, indicating they are only approved for men with documented medical conditions. FDA stated, “[T]he benefit and safety of these medications have not been established for the treatment of low testosterone levels due to aging, even if a man’s symptoms seem related to low testosterone.”
Like the old joke – How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! We are serving up some additional bites at the massive ANDA and 505(b)(2) Proposed Rule. I hope you enjoy your meal!
