17
Quality of Work Changing
  • More combination products
  • More molecular diagnostics
  • More computer driven products
  • More point of care products
18
MDUFMA
  • Increased work force
  • Increased work expertise
  • Improved training
  • Improved IT infrastructure
19
Critical Path
  • Broad initiative
  • Biomarkers mentioned twice
  • Biomarkers for diagnostic purposes
  • Biomarkers for drug discovery
20
Critical Path
  • Inter-oncology task force
  • Pharmacogenomics
  • River runs deep – cancer plus diabetes, infectious disease testing, coagulation, other
21
Pharmacogentic tests and Genetic Tests for Heritable Markers
  • Draft Guidance for Industry and FDA staff –  February  2006  -- 90 day comment period
  • http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/oivd/guidance/1549.html
22
Ongoing Series of Documents
  • http://www.fda.gov/cder/guidance/5900dft.pdf
  • --Voluntary Genomic Data Submissions
  • http://www.fda.gov/cder/genomics/pharmacoconceptfn.pdf
  • --Concept paper on co-development
  • http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/osb/guidance/1428.html
  • -- Statistical methods for test evaluation



23
Two Semi-Formal Processes
  • Voluntary genomic data submissions
  • Pre-IDEs (protocol reviews)
  • Pipeline is full; time line unpredictable
24
Interest in Identifying New Stakeholders
  • Internal blitz – CDER
  • External blitz – PHARMA, BIO
  • Multi-level interactions with NIH
  • Interest in niche round table
25
Seasoned Regulatory Toolbox
  • Pre-IDE
  • Expedited reviews
  • Real time reviews
  • De novo classifications
26
Pre-IDEs
  • Pop quiz
  • Questions ahead
  • Discuss answers
27
Pre-IDEs
  • Question questions
  • Increase certainty of review path
  • Ensure quality of submission
28
Expedited Review
  • Blue book memo
  • Break in line
  • Faster answer but
  • No money without check
29
Real Time Review
  • Nike slogan
  • Borrowed from niche PMA supplement
  • Broadly applied internally
  • Sometimes applied externally
30
De Novo Classification
  • Low risk devices
  • Broad view of risk control
  • Not ubiquitous
31
Review Successes
  • Cystic Fibrosis Test – 101 review days
  • West Nile Virus – 17 review days
  • Influenza Test – 14 review days
  • UGT1A1 – 9 review days
32
Two Preeminent Guidances
  • Waiver guidance
  • Informed consent guidance
33
Waiver Guidance
  • Intellectual framework from industry
  • Niceties from CLIAC
  • Details from FDA
34
Waiver Guidance
  • Forty four comments
  • All over map
  • Many constructive
  • Some still being provided
35
Waiver Guidance
  • FDA guiding philosophy
  • Access to tests is good BUT
  • Concerns over degradation in performance are real and credible methods need to be applied to design and demonstration that design works
36
Informed Consent
  • Non-congruence with Common Rule used by NIH
  • FDA law requires informed consent for human subject
  • FDA regulation defines sample as human subject
  • Law is air tight
  • Ignorance is not bliss
37
Informed Consent
  • Enforcement discretion
  • Allow use of
  • -- routinely collected
  • -- leftover
  • -- de-linked samples
38
Informed Consent
  • Need for regulation fix
  • Paperwork statement presages guidance (January 2006)


39
ASR Challenge
  • In House (Home Brew) Tests – continue to be popular alternative
  • Colorful market place with confusion
  • Parity problem
40
ASR Challenge
  • Highest priority remaining guidance to clarify boundaries of ASR and home brew
  • Stick (encourage conformance)
  • Carrot (ensure least burdensome route to market)
41
Obstacles to Critical Path
  • Lewin Report and need for value based pricing
  • Increasing understanding that adoption and payment require more then FDA clearance
  • Health care costs growing – need for better economic as well as scientific case for IVDs
42

  • Focused work process
43
Electronic Revolution
  • Objective to move toward paperless work
  • Turbo 510(k)s
  • E consults

  • E rooms for common work interests
44
Commitment to Change
  • Already multi-tasking is rule
  • Shift from premarket to pan-market focus
  • Not quick and easy; slow and steady
45
Commitment to Change
  • Limits in resources
  • Limitations of law
  • Limitations of science
46
