4 Things we got from Kefauver-Harris Amendment of 1962
- Req evidence of effectiveness for intended use (drugs must be proven effective as well as safe to be approved)
- Established GMP requirement
- Transferred oversight of drug advertising from FTC to FDA
- Strengthened clinical trials by requiring informed consent of research subjects and adverse drug reaction reporting
FDA guidance documents….
Insanitary Conditions, Section 501(a)(2)(A )of FD&C Act
Insanitary conditions states that….
“shall be deemed to be adulterated if it is a drug and the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, its manufacture, processing, packing, or holding do not conform to or are not operated or administered in conformity with current good manufacturing practice to assure that such drug meets the requirements of this chapter as to safety and has the identity and strength, and meets the quality and purity characteristics, which it purports or is represented to possess”
Do exemptions of 503A extend to provisions of 501(a)(2)(A)
Nah
What are the categories of insanitary conditions?
Staff Related = Aseptic Practices
Equipment and Facilities
Cleaning and Disinfecting
Examples of Staff Related (Aseptic Practices) considered insanitary conditions
Handling beta-lactam, hazardous drugs or hormones without providing controls to prevent contamination of the production area
Improper gowning
Failing to properly disinfect gloves
Exposed skin during compounding
Moving too quickly while performing aseptic manipulations
Blocking first pass air
Examples of Equipment and Facilities considered insanitary conditions
Actionable microbial contamination in ISO 5 area or adjacent
Unsealed ceiling tiles
Ante room and buffer room door open at the same time
HEPA filters not sealed around the perimeter to support frame
Construction in an area adjacent to compounding without adequate controls
Examples of Cleaning and Disinfecting considered insanitary conditions
Improper selection of cleaning agents
Improper use of cleaning agents or supplies (dedicated supplies)
No disinfection of equipment or supplies at each transition from areas of lower quality of air
Do we have to follow all Chapters of USP in MA?
Yea
Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA) 2013
Amended FD&C Act with respect to human drug compounding and drug supply chain security
Title I & II
Title I DQSA
Drug compounding, Compounding Quality Act
Title II DQSA
Drug supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA)…Track n Trace
What is FD&C 503 A exemption
allows for pharmacy compounding
FD&C 503 A Exemption….
Describes conditions under which certain compounded human drug products are entitled to exemptions from 3 provisions of FD&C Act
Which 3 provisions of FD&C Act are exemptions for 503 A exemption
505: FDA approval prior to marketing (NDA)
501(a)(2)(B): cGMP requirements
502 (f)(1): adequate directions for use labeling requirement
Who primarily regulates pharmacies that fall under 503 A exemption
State, but some Federal requirements still apply
ie. No insanitary conditions
A compounding drug product will qualify for the exemption if the drug product is compounded….
- For ID patient = no office use
- Based on receipt of valid prescription or in limited quantities before receipt of valid prescription on history of receiving prescriptions
- Made by licensed pharmacist in state licensed pharmacy
- In compliance with USP
- Using bulk substances that are manufactured by FDA registered facilities & w/ Certificate of Analysis (shows where API from)
- Follow Memorandum of Understanding rules
Memorandum of Understanding rules…
can only ship 5% of product out of state if haven’t signed onto the Memorandum of Understanding
FDA Guidance on Essentially Copies
- prohibit copying of commercially available drug extends to essential copies, not just exact
When is a compounded product considered to be essentially a copy of a commercially available drug product….
- compounded product has same API as commercially available drug product
- API have same, similar or easily substitutable dosage strength
- commercially available drug product can be used by the same route of admin as prescribed for compounded drug
When can essentially copies be made?
When the medication is on the FDA Back order list
Significant Difference
Prescriber must determine that the change made for an identified individual patient produces a significant difference from the commercial product
Determination must be documented on prescription
