FDA Basics Webinar: A Brief Overview of Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS)

October 23, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

In 2007, a new law that gave FDA many new authorities and responsibilities to enhance drug safety was enacted. It’s called the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act- sometimes called “FDAAA”- and one of its provisions gave FDA the authority to require a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) from manufacturers to ensure that the benefits of a drug or biological product outweigh its risks.

A REMs may be required by the FDA as part of the approval of a new product, or for an approved product when new safety information arises. Essentially, a REMS is a safety strategy to manage a known or potential serious risk associated with a medicine and to enable patients to have continued access to such medicines by managing their safe use.

Since medicines are very different from each other, each REMS for each medicine is also different.

This presentation will be held on November 20, 2012 at 1:00 PM EST and will discuss REMS and how they are used to help ensure that the benefits of certain medicines continue to outweigh their risks.  To join the meeting, click here:  https://collaboration.fda.gov/rems1/

    How are the REMS actually enforced if there is a new one for every “safety risk” product out there?

    REMS should include a medication guide, a patient package insert, a communication plan, elements to assure safe use, and an implementation system. Does all REMS programs will contain a timetable for assessment?

    Really interesting post, I agree with several previous posters. I think the ipad is more for reading than writing.

    Hi there! This blog post couldn’t be written any better! Looking through this post reminds me of my previous roommate! He always kept preaching about this. I’ll send this article to him.
    Fairly certain he’ll have a very good read. Thank you for sharing!
