In the fast-changing world of drug and device marketing and promotion, manufacturers need safe harbors.
The FDA has provided them, three draft guidances that are the closest thing to FDA policy that exists at the moment.
But manufacturers can’t make use of them unless they understand them. For that, they need lawyers.
Mark the calendar for Thursday, July 27, when two top Washington lawyers deconstruct FDA handiwork into the language manufacturers can understand.
Lisa Dwyer and Heather Bañuelos, the tag team from the top Washington law firm King & Spalding, served in top FDA advisory positions before moving to the private sector. They’re as well qualified as anyone in Washington to guide manufacturers through the triple mazes known as:
• Draft Guidance: Medical Product Communications That Are Consistent With the FDA-Required Labeling
• Draft Guidance: Communications With Payors, Formulary Committees, and Similar Entities
• Draft Guidance: Manufacturer Communications Regarding Unapproved Uses of Approved or Cleared Medical Products
In just 90 fast-paced minutes, attendees will hear crystal-clear guidance to arcane legal concepts including:
• What “consistent communications” means vs. on-label and off-label communications
• How the FDA interprets the “three factor test” for consistent communications and how to apply it in practice
• How to evaluate consistent communications as “scientifically appropriate and statistically sound”
• The real-life scope of the new safe harbor for pre-approval communications with payors
• The everyday application of the concept “healthcare economic information” to products
• How to consider the context of communications to ensure adequate disclosure of information (e.g., study designs, limitations, disclaimers, etc.)
• And much more!
The rules on marketing drugs and devices, never clear, continue to evolve. Why skate on thin ice when best practices aren’t that hard to understand and follow? Register today.
