“Adaptive Licensing” Proposals View REMS As Answer To Limited Evidence
Executive Summary
Some ideas for new drug approval pathways seem to envision the use of Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies as a means for preventing and monitoring off-label use following initial approval, apparently without regard to the seriousness or extent of a product’s risks. Given the burdens currently created by REMS, any effort to expand and retrofit the programs to a new approval pathway is likely to draw pushback from the health care community.
