OBJECTIVES
• To gain a better understanding of the regulatory framework and
obligation to publish safety data in light of the recent legislation (ie,
FDAAA and TEST ACT).
• To gain an understanding of the role that long-term safety studies and
registries will play in publications and the impact that recent legislation
has had on publications involving mandated post-approval studies.
• To acquire familiarity with the approach and challenges needed for
publishing safety and observational data including understanding of
the strengths and limitations for all stakeholders.

TYPES OF TRIALS COLLECTING
SAFETY INFORMATION
• Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) – Studies of the efficacy and safety of a drug within a limited patient population, randomized
to study treatment for balance and comparability. Extensive inclusion and exclusion criteria are often applied, and patients are
followed for 1-2 year period of time to determine if prespecified study endpoints are achieved. The sample size for RCTs is often
on the order of a few hundred patients. Follow CONSORT www.consort-statement.org.
• Drug interaction studies – Studies evaluating the modified effect of a medicine when administered with another drug. The effect
may be an increase or a decrease in the action of either substance, or it may be an adverse effect that is not normally associated
with either medicine.
• Large simple trials (LSTs) – These studies include large numbers of people (typically several thousand) and extend over a long
period of time, typically many years, applying broad eligibility criteria with the intent to study the safety and/or efficacy of
treatments under "real world" conditions of use.
• Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies– Pharmacokinetics (PK) measures processes such as drug absorption,
distribution, metabolism and excretion in living organisms.
• Safety studies – Studies determining incidence of adverse reactions. Phase 4 postmarketing studies may assess safety in larger
populations over broader timeframes, as compared to Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies.
• Completion of ongoing studies – Completion of clinical trials in progress at the time of regulatory approval may be required as a
postmarketing commitment.
• Safety Registries or other Postmarketing Commitments – “ mandated by health authorities… organized system that uses
observational study methods to collect uniform data (clinical and other) to evaluate specified outcomes for a population defined by
a particular disease, condition, or exposure, and that serves a predetermined scientific, clinical, or policy purpose.” *

COMMON TYPES OF SAFETY
PUBLICATIONS
Safety Publications encompass:
• Part of the fair-balance safety data resulting from randomized clinical trials – reported with
efficacy data and health related outcomes
• Traditional open-label and other interventional LST studies that include both efficacy and
safety
• Long-term study extensions of their respective randomized clinical trials, generally planned
apriori during the premarketing stage
• Integrated data from clinical development programs
• Observational Postapproval Research Programs (often mandated by Health Authorities)
• Meta-analyses of safety based on available published literature during the post-
approval/postmarketing period
11
TRANSITION TO FOOD AND DRUG
ADMINISTRATION AMENDMENT ACT
(FDAAA)
FDAAA signed into law in 2007 has since evolved into a number of policy initiatives:
Aimed at improving transparency and public knowledge of clinical trials
In 2008, a database was launched for reporting summary results from clinical trials via
a self-reported web-based system
US Public Law 110-85, Title 8 legislation passed into law amid concerns regarding:
• Ethical and scientific issues affecting design, conduct, and
reporting of clinical trials including suppression and selective
reporting of results based on sponsor’s commercial interests
• Alteration and omissions in reporting prespecified outcome
measures – especially drug and device safety
• “Off-shoring” human subjects of research
• Failure to report adverse and serious adverse events
12
RISK-BENEFIT IN THE BALANCE
The Food and Drug
Administration Amendments Act
of 2007 gave FDA the authority to
require Risk Evaluation and
Mitigation Strategies (REMS)
from manufacturers to ensure
that the benefits of a drug or
biological product outweigh its
risks.
13
RISK EVALUATION AND MINIMIZATION
• May be required preapproval based on a range of risk factors:
• Estimated size of the patient population
• Seriousness of disease or condition
• Expected benefit
• Duration of treatment
• Seriousness of known or potential adverse events
• Drug represents a new molecular entity or mode of action
• May be required postapproval only on the basis of new safety information
• Postapproval studies, adverse event reports, peer-reviewed literature, FDA postmarketing surveillance, and new
analyses of existing data.
• REMS Components include:
• Medication guide or Patient Package Insert
• Communication Plan
• Elements to assure safety use to address a specific known risk
• Timetable for Assessment
14
FDAAA
• Prior to the FDAAA legislation of 2007, the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) endorsed the public posting of clinical trial methodology as a condition for peer-review. Presently, more than 140,000 trials have been registered with locations in 182 countries.
• Approximately 330 new and 2000 revised registrations are submitted each week, but with 30 new and 80 revised results reporting.
• Full compliance with FDAAA would result in more than an estimated 100 newly-registered results per week – lagging and inadequate.
• Of those registered today, only about 15% are linked to a PubMed citation through an NCT Number.
• Large increase in number of clinical trials registered (>85%) on (www.clinicaltrials.gov) since the FDAAA Legislation but still woefully lacking.
• Major Focus is Safety!
15
ASPECTS OF FDAAA
• FDAAA mandated posting of summary results within 12 months of
completion of primary and secondary endpoints after FDA approval of drugs,
biologics, and devices, irrespective of whether or not a publication exists.
• Imposes significant monetary, civil, and criminal penalties for noncompliance
(eventually).
• Posting results under FDAAA is not restricted to industry-sponsored trials
intended to support marketing applications and includes trials irrespective of
sponsorship.
• ClinicalTrials.gov conducts a full quality review of results and requests
updates that are tracked and accessible through a “History of Changes” link.
Results are displayed with the protocol elements of the original posting with
the unique NCT number.
• Resources to links, additional information, and PubMed citations are
inserted by the National Library of Medicine.
16
FDAAA
Objectives
• Satisfy legal requirements
• Promote objective, standardized reporting by capturing key trial features in the form of tabular data while minimizing
potentially subjective narrative text
• Facilitate “good reporting practices”, including accommodation of publishing and regulatory guidelines
• Provides structured data entry to ensure complete reporting, efficient quality review, and consistent display of both
required and voluntary data elements
• Support detailed searches with the use of the database structure and other National Library of Medicine functions
Description of scientific modules (in tabular format)
• Participant flow: Progress of research participants through each stage of a trial according to group, including the
number of participants who dropped out of the clinical trial
• Baseline characteristics: Demographic and baseline data for the entire trial population and for each group
• Outcome measures and statistical analyses: Aggregate results data for each primary and secondary outcome
measure according to group; statistical analyses as appropriate
• Adverse events: List of all serious adverse events; list of other (not including serious) adverse events in each group
that exceed a frequency threshold of 5% within any group; both lists include adverse events, whether anticipated or
unanticipated, and grouped by organ system
Administrative information
• Key dates and contact information
• Description of agreements, if any, between the sponsor and the principal investigator that would restrict dissemination
of results by the principal investigator
17
FDAAA TITLE IIIV, SUBTITLE A
• Postmarketing Studies and Clinical Trials
• Empowers FDA to require postapproval studies, clinical trials, and safety registries
• Labeling Authority
• The FDA can mandate expedited labeling changes and enforcements
• Risk Evaluation and Minimization Strategies (REMS)
• Strategy to manage a known or potential serious risk associated with a drug
• Empowers the FDA to require the sponsor to execute REMS, if necessary, to ensure the
benefits of the drug outweigh the risks
• Can be required throughout the product lifecycle
• Enforcement
• To prevent misbranding and impose substantial civil monetary penalties for violations related to
REMS and other Postmarketing Safety Requirements
18
ICMJE STILL IN CONFLICT BUT PASSIVE
COMPLIANCE WITH FDAAA
“The ICMJE does not consider results posted in clinical trial registries as previous
publication if the results are presented in the same, ICMJE-accepted registry in which initial
registration of trial methods occurred and if the results are posted in the form of a brief
structured abstract or table. The ICMJE also believes that the results registry should either
cite full publications of the results when available or include a statement that indicates that
the results have not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal.”
US Public Law 110-85 (FDAAA, Title VIII): Mandatory reporting for summary results
information including adverse events must occur no later than one year after the completion
date for registered trials for drugs that are approved.
19
ICMJE HAS NOT STRENGTHENED ITS
POSITION ON FDAAA COMPLIANCE
– “ICMJE believes that parties interested in results registration should
consider requiring the deposition of such an abstract in the registry 24
months after closure of data collection if the results have not published in
a peer-reviewed venue at that time (published in a Separate Statement,
June 2007).”
…basic results “include summary data tables of baseline characteristics,
participant flow, outcomes, and adverse events. With the exception of several
brief free-text fields for providing descriptions of the data, no narrative
information is included (e.g., there is no discussion or conclusion section).
There will be no patient level data.”
20
DEFINITION OF “TRIAL”
UPDATED BY ICMJE
Old definition: any research that prospectively assigns human subjects to an intervention
to study the cause-and-effect relationship between a medical intervention and a health
outcome (PK, Phase I, and toxicity studies are exempt from registration).
Current definition: any research study that prospectively assigns human participants or
groups of humans to one or more health-related interventions to evaluate the effects on
health outcomes. (WHO definition under the New Clinical Trial Directive adopted by the
ICMJE, July 2008).
Health outcomes include any biomedical or health-related measures obtained in patients or
participants, including PK and adverse events.
Health-related interventions include drugs, surgical procedures, devices, behavioral treatments,
process-of-care changes, and the like.
Purely observational trials (those in which an intervention is not at the discretion of the investigator but
is prescribed according to usual clinical practice) will not require registration.
21
FIELDS ON
WWW.CLINICALTRIALS.GOV
1. Unique identification.
2. Statement of intervention(s) and comparison(s) studied
3. Study hypothesis
4. Primary and secondary prespecified endpoints/outcomes
5. Eligibility criteria
6. Critical trial dates (e.g., start date, last patient visit date)
7. Target enrollment
8. Funding source
9. Contact Information for the principle investigator
10. Results? When? (ICJME: take your time but comply with minimal federal requirements)
What should be our obligation to disclose data, especially safety data?
22
ICMJE’S POSITION ON THE FDAAA
REQUIREMENTS
“…disclosure will be a legal requirement, so there is nothing editors can do
about it if they still want to publish important trials of drugs and devices.
Moreover, journals will continue to add value by publishing useful and
readable trial reports that clinicians, the media, and patients can interpret and
use. And, most importantly, the results disclosed for the FDA will not have
been externally peer reviewed and will be preliminary. Peer review not
only provides a stamp of quality assurance, it often leads to reanalysis of
results.”
“…Editors should seriously consider for publication any carefully done study of
an important question, relevant to their readers, whether the results for the
primary or any additional outcomes are statistically significant. Failure to
submit or publish findings because of lack of statistical significance is an
important cause of publication bias.”
‘Uniform Requirements’
23
ICMJE’S POSITION
“It is important to note that the ICMJE requires registration of trial methodology but does not require registration of trial results; it recognizes the potential problems that could arise from the posting of research results that have not been subjected to an independent peer-review process. However, the ICMJE understands that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA) does require researchers to register results. The ICMJE will not consider results to be previous publication if they are posted in the same primary clinical trial registry as the initial registration and if the results are posted in the tabular form dictated by the FDAAA. Researchers should be aware that editors of journals that follow the ICMJE recommendations may consider more detailed description of trial results and results published in registries other than the primary registry (in the case of FDAAA, ClinicalTrials.gov) to be prior publication. The ICMJE anticipates that the climate for results registration will change dramatically over coming years and the ICMJE may need to amend these recommendations as additional agencies institute other mandates related to results registration.”
24

27
TAXPAYER-FUNDED RESEARCH MUST BE POSTED!
What about publishing, as an ethical and a moral obligation, the results that tax-paying
patients, physicians, and US citizens supported with hard-earned dollars?
28
LACK OF CORPORATE COMPLIANCE
WITH FDAAA
• Through 2010, results for only 40% of the trials (34% of pivotal trials)
were eventually posted appeared even after more than 1 year
following study completion and loopholes in FDAAA made it possible
for sponsors not to register all trials.
• Too many loopholes in the law resulted in some sponsors not even
registering clinical trials much less reporting the results, thereby,
putting future participants at risk when another company develops a
drug of the same class or mechanism of action.
29
THE TRIAL AND EXPERIMENTAL
STUDIES TRANSPARENCY ACT
The TEST Act (August 2, 2012) expanded the registration and reporting requirements
establish by FDAAA:
• Register all interventional studies of drugs and devices, regardless of phase (including
Phase 1), design (i.e., including single group trials), or approval status (approved or
unapproved) before the first participant is enrolled.
• Strengthening the requirement to have results posted on www.clinicaltrials.gov within one
year of the completion of the trial irrespective of approval status.
• Requiring all foreign trials (rulemaking) that are used to support marketing in the US to
be registered and comply with the reporting requirements – 80% of drugs entering the
US market were clinically tested overseas but were not required to be registered.
• Providing for delayed submission of results (up to two years of trial completion) for
medical interventions that have never been approved for any indication.
30
TEST ACT (CONTINUED)
• Expanded results pertaining to informed consent and protocol documents
• Requires results reporting whether or not an application is submitted to the
FDA for approval (e.g., novel therapeutic agents) so that adverse outcomes
would be posted even if abandoned by the manufacturer to alert others of
potential dangers and putative toxic effects that would necessitate monitoring.
• Improves transparency of clinical trial results – companies will be less able to
hide negative study results, safety signals, and adverse events.
31
TIME PROGRESSION FOR INCREASE
REGULATION
TEST ACT
2012
32
TEST ACT: WHAT ABOUT OUR OBLIGATION TO
PUBLISH IN PEER-REVIEW LITERATURE?
• The TEST ACT (August 2012) is mandating the basic results for all trials be
posted by 1 year after trial completion irrespective of approval status of the
drug or device.
• There is concern that the TEST ACT may actually increase rather than
decrease publication bias if sponsors feel less compelled to publish equivocal
trials because the basic results will already be in the public domain in a data
dump without interpretative value – time will tell.
• The time pressure and desired low visibility may result in more positive trials
being submitted quickly to journals and the negative trials being posted on
www.clinicaltrials.gov.
• If journals accept manuscripts after public posting, this may change the
importance of how publications are scored and affect acceptance rates.
Journals are reluctant to embrace full transparency.
33
HOW WILL THE TEST ACT IMPACT
SAFETY PUBLICATIONS?
• ICMJE’s Position?
• Peer-review?
• Publishability?
• Journal Publication of Medical and Pharmaceutical
Literature?
• With tabular format for adverse events posted on public
registers, of what benefit is posting to patients and the
medical community?
34
ICMJE
• Compliance with federal law is mandatory but acceptance of FDAAA and the TEST ACT is
not strong due to concern about compromised embargo and diminished newsworthiness.
Journals must change ideologically and be more accepting of safety articles. Safety data
should never be limited or embargoed.
• NEJM, a ICMJE member journal, endorsed the TEST Act (N Engl J Med 2012;367;9) but
stressed the continued use of simple tabular format for 3 tables: patient
enrollment/disposition, key primary and secondary outcomes, and adverse events. Tabular
format is not adequate to communicate safety to patients and physicians.
• Journals adhering to the Uniform Requirements (International Committee of Medical
Journal Editors) will not consider posting results to be pre-publication. However, journals
still demand oversight, impose limitations, and/or delay posting of results. Journals
accommodate what is minimally required by federal law.
• To date, the ICMJE website has not been updated to reflect the changes with the TEST
Act and does not strongly embrace FDAAA. Truly, the journals need to stress greater
compliance with posting results, especially those pertaining to safety.
35
DISCREPANCIES PREVAIL: POSTING AND
PUBLICATION ARE NOT ALIGNED ON FULL
TRANSPARENCY
• Peer-review is essential to oversight. Posting has no peer-review process and has no
interpretative value. Peer-review has been reserved for the journals. Why? So many
Laws and Rules yet none resulting in benefit to the patients and physicians.
• The ICMJE prohibits expounding on the results beyond a 500-word structured abstract,
and prohibits discussion and conclusions. Why?
• ICMJE does not include a provision for registering observational studies, and neither
FDAAA nor the TEST ACT require posting of non-interventional data, including data
from mandated safety registries. Why are these important studies exempt?
• Restricted results reporting by ICMJE and tabular formats render public registries (e.g.,
www.clinicaltrials.gov) data dumps or third-party repositories lacking analytical
interpretation and interpretative value. Why?
• Neither FDAAA or the TEST ACT address the compelling need to publish safety data in
peer-review journals. Why?
36
THE OBLIGATION TO PUBLISH
SAFETY DATA
• Peer-review publication of safety data must be an ethical obligation to be fulfilled by
pharmaceutical companies or any sponsor. Posting on public registers alone is not
adequate.
• Safety data, safety signals, and pharmacovigilence findings are not perceived as
interesting to publishers and journal editors but are vital to understanding the risk-
benefit of drugs and devices throughout the life-cycle of a product.
• Safety data from all sources should be both posted and published for complete
transparency and the benefit of patients.
• Observational as well as interventional safety studies should be posted whether or not
they are mandated by health authorities as well as published when adequate data
have been accrued and at the end of the commitment to answer critical questions or
verify signal detection.
• Safety registries due to their generalizability, by monitoring the safety of a product or
device in real-world clinical practice with minimal exclusion criteria, are increasingly
being mandated by health authorities globally. There is no requirement under FDAAA
or the TEST ACT to register or post the results let alone publish results.
37
PUBLISH ALL SAFETY DATA IN
PEER-REVIEW
• Observational data from mandated safety registry studies have a rough but
travelable road in peer-review journals.
• More journals are now willing to publish observational safety studies and data from
safety registries, especially those designed with some rigor (http://www.strobe-
statement.org/index.php?id=strobe-home).
• Transparency through peer-review publication of safety data is the right thing to do
even though it goes beyond the legally-imposed obligation met by posting.
• Safety data should be published irrespective of trial design or favorability.
• Safety data integrated from preapproval clinical development programs should be
published.
• Data from long-term safety extension studies from clinical trials should be published.
• All publications should represent fair-balance, embraced by benefit-risk and accurate
reporting with an explicit focus on patient safety.
