  1. Reclassification of IIIA allergenic products

  2. Allergen Extracts • pollens • molds • epidermoids • insects • foods

  3. Today’s presentation • History of allergy and allergy treatment • Allergen extract regulation • Pre-FDA • FDA • 21 CFR 601.25 • 21 CFR 601.26 • Completion of the 21 CFR 601.26 process

  4. History of allergy and allergy treatment • 1819 – Dr. John Bostock first accurately describes hay fever as a disease affecting the upper respiratory tract • 1869 – In investigating his own hay fever, Dr. Charles Blakely performs the first skin test by applying pollen through a small break in his skin. He introduces concept that pollen causes hay fever http://www.allergyclinic.co.nz/guides/39.html

  5. History of allergy and allergy treatment • 1911 - Noon and Freeman make sterile extracts of pollens and demonstrate that repeated injections improve clinical tolerance to allergen exposure, establishing the basis for allergen extract immunotherapy http://www.allergyclinic.co.nz/guides/39.html

  6. History of allergy and allergy treatment • First aqueous extracts: Curtis (1900) • Systematic investigations on extraction method: Wodehouse and Walker (1917) and Coca (1920s) • Early allergists prepared extracts in their own offices for use with their patients Cohen and Evans, Allergen immunotherapy in historical perspective. In Lockey, et al. Allergens and allergen immunotherapy, 3rd ed. 2004

  7. Allergen extract manufacturing • Physicians began preparing extracts for others • Sheldon et al. A Manual of Clinical Allergy (Saunders, 1953) contains detailed instructions (30 pages) for allergen extract production • Practice evolved to independent laboratories preparing extracts • Laboratories evolved into licensed manufacturers (first license issued in 1920’s)

  16. Standards for Safety and Efficacy Classification panel 1974-1979 (601.25) • Standards Defined for Safety in 601.25 • “…relative freedom from harmful effect…” • “Proof shall consist of adequate tests by methods reasonably applicable…including results of significant human experience”

  17. Standards for Safety and Efficacy Classification panel 1974-1979 (601.25) • Standards Defined for Efficacy in 601.25 • “reasonable expectation that..the biological product…will serve a clinically significant function in the diagnosis…treatment…of disease” • “Proof…shall consist of controlled clinical investigations…unless this requirement is waived” because: • “Not reasonably applicable” or • Not “essential to the investigation”and • An “alternative methods of investigation is adequate to substantiate effectiveness”

  18. Product Classification CategoriesDefined in 21 CFR 601.25 • Category I: safe; effective; and not misbranded • Category II: unsafe; ineffective; or misbranded • Category III: data insufficient for classification • IIIA: thought to have favorable risk-benefit ratio; remain on the market pending completion of testing • IIIB: thought to have unfavorable risk-benefit ratio; removal from the market pending completion of testing

  19. Immunotherapy evidence standardsClassification panel 1974-1979 (601.25) • Panel established criteria for evidence of immunotherapy efficacy • Conclusive • Acceptable • Circumstantial • Insufficient

  35. 1982-1983 Reclassification Panel 601.26 IIIA I or II 1972 Bureau of Biologics FDA US allergen extract timeline 1974-1979 Classification Panel 601.25 I/II/IIIA/IIIB 1900 + First extracts 1920 + Manufacturers

  36. MembersReclassification panel 1982-1983 (601.26) • Paul Seebohm, MD* • Elliot Ellis, MD* • Clifton Furukawa, MD • Ralph Hale, MD* • David Levy, MD* • Floyd Malveaux, MD • Thomas Van Metre, MD* * on previous panel

  37. Panel Recommendations (diagnosis)Reclassification panel 1982-1983 (601.26) • All Category IIIA products recommended for reclassification into Category I for diagnosis except: • Certain pollens, molds, avian/mammalian, inhalants were recommended for reclassification as Category II • Panel stated that species definition required for reclassification into Category I

  38. Panel Recommendations (therapy)Reclassification panel 1982-1983 (601.26) • Pollen extracts, mammalian/avian extracts, many mold and insect extracts recommended for reclassification into Category I • Species definition was required for reclassification into Category I • Miscellaneous inhalant and all food extracts recommended for reclassification into Category II

  39. Fast forward (1983 to 2003)

  40. Task at hand: 2003-2006 • Review the 601.26 Reclassification Panel’s recommendations regarding Category IIIA products • Review data published since 1972 • Determine FDA position on Reclassification Panel’s recommendations based upon additional data

  41. 1982-1983 Reclassification Panel 601.26 IIIA I or II 2003-2006 Review and implementation IIIA I or II 1972 Bureau of Biologics FDA US allergen extract timeline 1974-1979 Classification Panel 601.25 I/II/IIIA/IIIB 1900 + First extracts 1920 + Manufacturers

  42. The process: 2003-2006 • Establish a provisional process by which Category IIIA products will be reclassified and implement the process • Collect data on products since 1972 • Establish criteria to be applied when reviewing data • Publish a Proposed Order – Federal Register • FDA’s reclassification of IIIA products into Category I or II • Period for public comment after issuance of Proposed Order • Consider public responses, and revise order as necessary • Publish a Final Order – Federal Register • Classification • Revoke licenses for products reclassified into Category II

  43. Provisional review process (I) • Data to be collected • Medline search • English-language literature, 1972 to present • Manufacturer data, if available • Files submitted to docket • Medwatch and VAERS

  44. Categorization of papers • Study design • Case report • Number of cases • Observational cohort • Case-control • Prospective • Retrospective • Placebo-controlled prospective

  45. Species Human Veterinary Vehicle Aqueous Glycerine Alum Not specified Potency test None protein w/v Biological Antibody-based Lot Single Multiple, identified neither Categorization of papers

  46. Diagnosis Prick ID Quantitative Immunotherapy Rush Conventional Oral Sublingual Parenteral Statistical analysis Valid Invalid None Analysis Validated Challenge Patient report Quantified Categorization of papers

  47. Provisional review process (II) • Criteria for reclassification into category I • Efficacy – two or more well-described case reports, uncontradicted. • Safety – absence of species-specific SAE reports from any source greater than case reports; will consider risk-benefit for case reports

  48. Rationale for CBER Review Committee criteria • Positive data on efficacy required • Well-described case reports are sufficient; controlled trials NOT necessary. Although there are many controlled efficacy trials for allergen immunotherapy, these have only been performed using few highly prevalent extracts

  49. Rationale for CBER Review Committee criteria • Negative safety data sufficient • Baseline of AEs for both skin tests and immunotherapy with all extracts • Higher-than-baseline AEs typical for the most potent extracts • Higher-than-baseline AEs associated with patient and practice risk factors
