  1. History of Federal Regulations Food and Drug Administration MM Marshall QAO

  2. History of Food and Drug Laws • FDA has grown from a single chemist in the US Department of Agriculture in 1862 to a staff of9,100 employees in 2001…. • FDA left the Department of Agriculture in 1940 and joined the Federal Security Agency and joined the Department of Health and Human Services in 1980. • Today comprising chemists, pharmacologists, physicians, microbiologist, veterinarians, pharmacists, lawyers and many others.

  3. History of Food and Drug Laws • Harvey Washington Wiley • Offered the position of Chief Chemist in the US Dept of Agriculture in 1882 • Earned the title “Father of the Pure Food and Drug Act”

  4. History of Food and Drug Laws • In 1902 …. Volunteers “poison squad” of young men agreed to eat only foods treated with measured amounts of chemical, with the object of demonstrating whether these ingredients were injurious to health.

  5. This initiated many news articles in the 1902-1906 years… • Packers blamedwith shipping “embalmed beef” that sickened troops in the Spanish-American War. • Upton Sinclair published the “The Jungle” describing the filthy conditions in Chicago’s meat packing plants.

  6. Strenuous opposition….from: • Whiskey distillers and patent medicine firms, who were the largest advertisers in the country. It was argued, the Federal Government had no business policing what people ate, drank, or used for medicine.

  7. However, support came from the vote less but militant club women of the country who rallied to the pure food cause and….. • President Theodore Roosevelt who used his weigh decisively to ensure that this time Congress would not adjourn, as so often before, until the food bill was passed. • 1906 Food and Drugs Act became law … to control adulterated and misbranded drugs and food in interstate commerce.

  8. However assurances of safety issues were not mandated • Still unclear as to new drugs…. • And…

  9. Continuing problems with dangerous drugs that fell outside the parameters of the Pure Food and Drugs Act finally received national attention with the Elixir Sulfanilamide disaster in 1937. Massengill distributed this preparation without testing for safety (which was not required by law).

  10. Because it contained diethylene glycol as a vehicle, a chemical analogue of antifreeze, over 100 people died, many of whom were children. .

  11. Provisions lacking in the 1906 law were corrected in 1938…President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed theFederal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. • all new drugs be proved safe before marketing • therapeutic devices and cosmetics become subject to regulation • standards of identity and quality be instituted for foods • formalized FDA’s ability to conduct factory inspections.

  12. This remains the basic law we have today …with numerous amendments and other acts which broaden FDA’s responsibilities considerably. The goal for FDA is above all else to safeguard the health and well being of the American people

  13. Durham-Humphrey Amendment • clarified the vague line between prescription and nonprescription drugs • The Amendment specifically stated: “dangerous drugs, defined by several parameters, could not be dispensed without a prescription, witnessed by the prescription legend: "Caution: Federal law prohibits dispensing without prescription."

  14. Interesting development in 1960 . . . • A Pharmaceutical company of applied to FDA for permission to market a drug [very popular sleeping pill in Europe] in the US. • Application was assigned to “new” staff member Frances O. Kelsey. • Kelsey asked for more data; she was concerned that drug acted differently in animals than it did in humans (it wasn’t a sedative in animals).

  15. Companyofficials went to Washington to complain, but FDA officials held firm. • During this time a single report in a British journal, indicated that some long term users of this drug developed nerve damage in their hands and feet. • Dr. Kelsey asked the company to conduct studies to show that drug could safely be taken by pregnant women without harming the fetus.

  16. Company officials were appalled that this “stubborn bureaucrat” could derailtheir plansformarketing a sure-fire best seller . . . Dr. Kelsey held firm and as did her supervisors at FDA. • Long before the Company could complete its tests . . . news broke of a terrible deformity in babies born with tiny flipper-like stumps instead of arms and hands. All the baby’s mothers hadtaken the drug thalidomide in thefirst 20-40 days of pregnancy.

  17. Frances Kelsy received the Distinguished Federal Civilian Service Award from President John F. Kennedy August 1962. • 17 American babies were born with the deformity because [at the time] the company was permitted to provide free samples to physicians as soon as the company applied for FDA licensing permission.

  18. Congress responded to thalidomide tragedy by passing the Kefauver-Harris drug law in 1962 • This law, for the first time, gave FDA .. • the power to require specific procedures for testing new drugs for safety and effectiveness.

  19. However….. • In the 70’sFDA’s investigation into “sloppy and fraudulent” research resulted in the Senate investigaiton-Kenndy Hearings and the conclusion to the hearings stated that….

  20. Findings of the Senate Committee on review of documents of the Drug company found that personnel did not…. • assure the accuracy of data which are transcribed from original documents to final reports • make accurate observations of the appropriate parameters and to document their observations promptly, and accurately, and to sign and date records of such observations

  21. “Lack of understanding appears to stem from • [1] insufficient appreciation by managers of the need for instruction and indoctrination of personnel in laboratory methods • [2] An absence of established, written laboratory procedures and • [3] A general lack of attention … to routine quality assurance procedures and correction of deficiencies”

  22. So ………. Chapter 1, Title 21 Regulatory Sections of the Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 58 21 CFR 58 1978: Original Regulation 1987;1997 Amendments

  23. Regulations are for all to follow…. 1992 FDA officials marched into the office of the University of Minnesota President to announce that the agency had imposed a hold on a Clinical Study The investigator, was world renown for transplant surgery. ……Grand jury indictment

  24. There were many factors ….. But several crucial GLP deviations.. Paper work didn’t get done…. “ PI saw himself, says a former colleague as a pacesetter who was moving the field of transplant surgery forward, someone who couldn’t be bothered with the details of the rules because he was changing the rules”

  25. The University culture …..is no excuse for not following GLP regulations…..says FDA University is responsible for compliance of laboratories who tell sponsors that they can do GLP Studies

  26. Federal regulations are government documents describing the rules!

  27. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) • is the codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government

  28. Federal Register • Published by the Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the Federal Register is the official daily publication for rules, proposed rules, and notices of Federal agencies and organizations, as well as executive orders and presidential documents….

  29. Regulations….. • They are the law and therefore following the law means compliance. • As lab managers, senior technologist or project managers, Study Directors…..know the regulations! • This course is an introduction to the world of some federal regulations…but not all. • Regulations are amended so ……be a web warrior and be in compliance.

  30. Federal regulations for GLP non-clinical studies are to safeguard the health and well being of the American people 21 CFR 58 40 CFR 160 40 CFR 792
